Dear Visitor, DotSpots had a very noble mission, not to mention the coolest logo on earth. We wanted to save the newspaper industry by allowing the wisdom of crowds (bloggers and citizen journalists) to enhance every news story with eyewitness accounts, alternative perspectives and additional content and context, thereby bringing more engagement for the publishers, and more insight for readers. We built an unbelievably sophisticated platform to allow this collaboration to take place… and we gave it all away for free, hoping that we'd be able to hit a critical mass, around which we could then build a business model. Unfortunately, we did not succeed in getting to critical mass before we ran out of time. That said, we want to thank you for your support and wish you the best going forward. It was a fun ride… BTW: Don't worry about us, the whole DotSpots team has pivoted over to our latest start-up Gri.pe, which we are super-excited about — check it out when you get a chance: http://gri.pe. Love, Luck and Light! Farhad Mohit Founder and CEO DotSpots “spot the truth, connect the dots!” Some housekeeping: If you have any data within our system that you'd like access to, send us an e-mail.
