Default AboutMyPlanet.com launched "GROW" User News Service

What is Grow?
Grow is a news service from AboutMyPlanet.com and will be entirely controlled by it's users. You'll be able to find the most interesting environmental stories all at grow.aboutmyplanet.com, updated 24/7. We realize that the key in fighting global warming is spreading the green message and hope that this news service will do just that.

How it works
The GROW news service works by our members sharing environmental stories they find from around the world. Once a story is submitted other members can read the story, and if they find that it's interesting and they want to promote it further, they can "Grow" it. When a story reaches a certain growth level it will be promoted to the front page of the "GROW" homepage and eventually might be picked up by our main site www.aboutmyplanet.com.

The stories that users submit can contain photos and videos, members can also discuss all the stories submitted. We hope that you enjoy the "Grow News Service" and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us at grow@aboutmyplanet.com

Enjoy

I really like the idea that anyone can contribute an article to it! It'll be fun to seek out something new and different to submit for consideration. Finding interesting articles to read all under one roof too is very convenient.

Thanks very much for taking the time to create this feature!

I have checked out "GROW" several times, and it is great! Fascinating stories, things that may worry you, things that may make you very happy. All the stories written and commented upon by people like you; it makes you feel definitely like part of a community that does good every single day.

Raptor, sorry to post it here, but none of the other buttons worked. Do you know that the Grow News is down, and has been for the day? If you're not already working on it, could you? Thanks Molly
