Needs some sites for embeds :)

The OMN will allow you to find good quality alt\grassroots content. It’s a
way of getting distribution outside Facebook and Twitter to push-up the use
of the open web. It's a stupidly simple social project using existing basic
web technologies.

The OMN is an open network so we call each of the sites “nodes” as they are
small parts of the wider World Wide Web (WWW). Openworlds
<http://omn.openworlds.info:8080/> is the first node/site
<http://omn.openworlds.info:8080/>of the network, currently with links to 10
embeds <https://github.com/tomspost/OMN/wiki> on sites as an initial soft
roll out. We are aiming to expand this out up to 100 sites over the summer
for the hard launch.

If you have a web site and want to play a part in this “soft roll out” go
to openworlds <http://omn.openworlds.info:8080>

Step 1: If you are interested in only some subjects or groups, click on
group tags (with @ in front) and/or subject tags. You can choose as many as
you like and then only these will show up in your river embed. Then click
the RSS link.

Step 2: Take the URL of the RSS feed, in the new window that opens. Go to
your CMS/site/blog and install a RSS display/widget and add the RSS URL to
it. You can use the formatting options to change the number of items and
what info to display to make it look nice.

That’s it for now, your site is now a part of a open alt/grassroots media
network. Playing a role in linking and cooperating to build a progressive
worldview empowering people to build a better world.
