As some of our readers will remember, Earth911.com went through a major overhaul last year. Though we got to add a lot of our dream items to the screen, some were put on hold for a rainy day. Well, get out that umbrella, ’cause we’re going back to the drawing board. As we dusted off some of our old ideas and began working on them again, the topic of what you, our readers, want sprang up.
We could guess, or create theories and complicated algorithms that would tell us the best bells and whistles to include in our uplift… or we could just ask you. So, rather than beating around the bush, that’s what we’re doing! We want to make sure that your voice is heard and the tools you find important are there for the taking. Areas we want to address are:
- Email Options
- Interaction with our articles
- Commenting
So, if you have ever thought about what you would like to change if you worked at Earth911.com, now’s your chance. Although you won’t get a paycheck or a corner office, we can assure you that your ideas will be considered.
Ready?
- Check out what we are interested in adding
- Select your top picks (choose up to four)
- Hit the ‘Vote’ button
- Wait patiently for the new look to be revealed (emphasis on “patiently”)
Have feedback that we didn’t think about? Email us!

I voted for the Digg option and the current activity options. I want to see what other people are reading on the site, because there’s so much content here that it’s tough to read it all.

I think threaded comments would be a great idea. On stories where we get a bunch of comments (like “A Common Thread” or “The Pizza Box Mystery”), it would make it easier to follow and get involved with active discussions.

I think emailing or sharing an article is a must. There’s nothing better than beating your friends to the top news stories.
