A great new site is up and running with the goal of linking up a wide range of people associated with journalism. Wired Journalists is kind of like a Facebook for industry. It includes a bunch of groups, such as “Social Bookmarking for Journalists” and “Audio Techniques,” many of which are aimed at beginners.

This to me is the most exciting part of this site - there is little pretense as far as I can tell. Lots of people on the site are taking their first tentative steps into the wired journalism world. One smarmy quip about inexperience with technology is liable to send them running back to the newsroom or the classroom, defeating the whole purpose of the site. But so far it seems incredibly welcoming. Lets hope it continues.
