New Idea

Here's an idea. ** HikerNEWS ** You can help me decide if its time has
come. I haven't found anything else like it on the web execpt at
Topix.net, which is computer generated, and very poor. After keeping
it up for a few days, I am fascinated and amazed by how much news is
available on the subject of hiking and hikers. There is no way I can
continue to maintain this unless it quickly pays its own way. I'd be
happy to have feedback about the idea, and if enough sponsors respond
to me, it has hopes of lasting more than another week or so.

Great idea!!! I just spent about an hour on there reading all different types of articles. It's amazing how much stuff is really out there. And I thought I had actually finished the internet before. Now I've got something to look forward to reading. Hope it all works out. Keep up the good work.

I think this is a great idea, but only as long as you can commit to keeping the content current and updated. When we first launched our site, we had grand visions of posting several articles per week, and having tons of new content always changing. Now we're only averaging one story a week, and our site traffic reflects it.

If you ever create a news feed that can be broken down into regional categories (Northeast/MidAtlantic/Southeast), let me know, and we'll be your first subscriber!
