Now that TC-IMC 2.0 is up, a note about OpenID

in

Everyone should know that we have added the OpenID technology to Twin Cities Indymedia. OpenID provides an alternative to corporate identity control schemes like Google Accounts or Microsoft's Passport IDs.Technically, OpenID is a protocol that associates an ID with a URL, and this URL can provide reliable authentication. (this means that linuxguy.openid.net means the same person, across the whole Internet).

Introducing Twin Cities Indymedia - 2.0

drupal_0.gifWelcome to the new Twin Cities Indymedia! We apologize for the delay in launching the new site, but think you'll agree that it was worth the wait.

Our new site is light years ahead of the old Twin Cities Indymedia (TC-IMC) in user-friendliness, functionality, and style. In addition, it is based on the Drupal Content Management System, which helps us maintain wiring of the site, which in turn means less downtime.

Of course, this website is only part of what makes Indymedia work. The crucial component of every Independent Media Center is YOU, the users. The launch of this new site is only one part of an overhaul of Twin Cities Indymedia. We are also in the process of forming new Editorial and Tech Collectives. If you are interested in participating in either of these groups, please set up a site account, visit the Groups page (above), and join the working group you would like to participate in!

Please take the time to poke around a bit to explore the new layout and functions. The new site includes the same core functionality as the old site, with a few critical augmentations:
