The righthand column of the FutureOfCapitalism.com home page now features a new service called The Big Twitter Tent, which aggregates some of the best opinions and commentary on the World Wide Web, including contributions from the Wall Street Journal editorial page, Reason magazine, the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute, the Manhattan Institute, the Hoover Institution, the Tax Foundation, Fox Business's John Stossel, Harvard economics professor Greg Mankiw, author and economist Thomas Sowell, economists Mark Perry, William Easterly, Larry Kudlow, and Russ Roberts, Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts, the Mises Institute, the Ayn Rand Center, the Institute for Justice, former Bush administration official Keith Hennessey, journalist and author Timothy Carney, radio personalities Glenn Beck and Dennis Prager, and the University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds, who is known as Instapundit. We don't endorse or agree with every opinion aired, but think that the sum total is a great example of the wisdom of crowds, and a good way to add more high quality, frequently updated content to FutureOfCapitalism.com. The feature expands into a full page of the site here. Please use the comments thread to let us know what you think of the new feature. If you like it, please tell your friends about it. Is there anyone whose Twitter feed has been left out of the Big Tent who you think should be included? Is there any one who has been included who you think doesn't belong there? If you operate a Twitter feed or Web site and would like your own content considered for inclusion in The Big Twitter Tent, please contact us by emailing [email protected]. And if you have your own Web site and would like to get a Big Twitter Tent box operating for free on your site, contact us by emailing [email protected] -- we'd be happy to help.
If you read FutureOfCapitalism.com primarily through the daily e-mail, The Big Twitter Tent may be a reason for you to check out the site on the Web. The Big Tent is updated every five minutes with new content, though, for now, to bring in the new content you have to press the refresh button on your Web browser.
The feature was added at the suggestion of a reader. If you have an idea to improve the site, don't hesitate to let us know about it.
