The new Portside: better communication, a more usable web site,

hyperlinked text, photos, brighter pages, better typography and formatting,

integration with Facebook, Twitter and Google+

<p </p>

Dear Portside reader,</div>

 </div>

Today we launch Portside 2.0. You see some of what's new in the

look of this message.</div>

 </div>

When we started Portside 12 years ago, we had a clear mission: to

locate and to bring you some of the best of the new wealth of material

available on the Internet, material that helps us to interpret the world

and to change it. To further that mission, out of the Babel that was the

Internet we chose the most universal language then available -- plain text

-- so that we could communicate with everyone.</div>

 </div>

That simplicity served us well. But today it is possible to be

universal and to communicate more effectively at the same time. We have the

same mission and the same passion as when we began. Today we can better

further that mission by speaking the current language of the Internet

(HTML) and using current Internet technology. </div>

 </div>

What does that mean for you? Better communication. A much more

usable web site. Hyperlinked text.Photos. Brighter pages, better

typography and formatting. Integration with Facebook, Twitter and

Google+.</div>

 </div>

These changes will enable you to get more from what Portside sends.

They will make you more effective in sharing what you like. Please try out

these new features of Portside.</div>

 </div>

At the top right of every Portside message is a menu of things you

can do. Such as:</div>

<ul

Print out a properly formatted version (no more wasted

paper). </li>

<a href="

style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" target="_blank">Like</a **a

Portside message on your Facebook wall. </li>

Forward or email a message. Your friends will be able to

Share, Tweet or Like a post or subscribe to Portside directly from the

message.</li>

</ul

</div>

Visit the new Portside <a href="

style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" target="_blank">website</a>. There you

can:</div>

<ul

Browse recent Portside content. Use the site search engine

to find related Portside material. Just type a key word into the

familiar <a href=" style="color: rgb(17, 85,

204);" target="_blank">Search</a&**nbsp;field at the top of the

page.</li>

Use the links for Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and RSS.</li>

Get the Quote of the Day and Toon of the Day -- every day

(without waiting for Rewind on Saturday).</li>

Browse and watch current and past Friday Nite

Videos. </li>

</ul

</div>

Please let us know what you think. We look forward to your comments,

suggestions and ideas. And <a href="

style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" target="_blank">donations</a&**nbsp;are

always welcome.</div>

 </div>

We thank the many readers whose contributions have made Portside 2.0

possible. We thank all of you who journey with us by forwarding Portside

material, submitting material, engaging in discussion and giving

feedback.</div>

 </div>

There are exciting times ahead. We promise that Portside will be

there for you and with you.</div>
