Congrats Rusty (News)

By phr
Sun Mar 7th, 2004 at 02:08:44 AM EST

It looks like Rusty has gotten a daytime gig as an Internet big cheese. I notice that the sidebar blurb of Armstrong Zúniga LLC (a web consulting shop for political campaigns) now says:

Rusty Foster joined Armstrong Zúniga in February of 2004 as CTO. Rusty created the Scoop software platform in 1999 and founded Kuro5hin.org the same year. Kuro5hin is widely recognized as a pioneering project in collaborative media, and Rusty has written and spoken extensively about the potential of the internet as a medium for collaboration and grassroots organizing.

More...

Armstrong Zúniga is run by Jerome Armstrong of MyDD.com (an influential political blog from last year) and Markos ("Kos") Moulitsas Zúniga of Daily Kos, a very active political news/discussion site now powered by Scoop. Daily Kos is a big Scoop success story, having exploded in growth since switching to Scoop from Movable Type. It's almost certainly the biggest Scoop site now, claiming 3 million unique visits per month and showing far more daily postings than K5; it seems to be carving out a space as the Slashdot of center-left US politics.
So it looks like Rusty now has steady work doing Scoop stuff (reading between the lines it sounds like he's now the chief geek of Daily Kos and presumably manages Armstrong Zúniga's clients' site development too), relieving him of some financial stress I'm sure, and we'll all get to see the Scoop software scale to run sites that are very visible and make a difference way beyond the insular techie world. This sounds great for everyone concerned. Congrats Rusty.

John Kerry has distanced himself from Markos Zuniga's "screw them" comments about the Americans mutilated in Fallujah. Numerous Arab imams have also condemend this. Does Rusty plan on continuing to associate himself with Markos Zuniga?

I'm glad to see Rusty get a day job in one of the hot spots of web communities today. I somehow wonder whether Rusty should have told us before the story got posted, maybe talking about the impacts of this on the whole CMF stuff, but I guess Rusty still has the right to run his own life without 70,000 trolls peeking behind his shoulders. And I guess some real money will help improve Scoop and K5 ever further. So... all the best, Rusty!

...how DailyKos is doing so much better with Scoop than K5 is. Far fewer trolls(almost none), frequent and generally better stories(not that posted K5 stories are bad, but in terms of submissions...), etc.

Interesting question is why K5 is failing while DailyKos is succeeding. Is it the tighter focus, the tighter reigns, or just that it hasn't been around long enough to fail?

K5 just makes me sad. It had so much potential, and its done so little with it.

Yes, this story is all true. Mainly the good news is that Scoop is getting a lot of interest in political and grassroots type circles, and AZ were quick to get me involved after Kos switched his site to it. Sorry if it seems like I was keeping it secret -- I didn't mean to. It just didn't occur to me to be all making announcements about it or whatever. That is the reason I've been posting a lot less here, too. I'm busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.

And one other point I can confirm, daiykos is the busiest Scoop site I'm aware of now. That thing is cranking.

But from what I understand Rusty Foster was paid seventy thousand US dollars to start a Collaborative Multimedia Federation, and we've seen nothing of this. Thanks to loyal Kuro5hin readers like us, and using our generous donations as capital, Rusty Foster has built himself a poweful political career, no doubt receiving large sums of money from his new work as a political campaigner. Rumours abound that the latest redecoration of his yacht's interior cost over fifty thousand dollars alone. What can his most loyal of followers do but question Rusty's actions here? I think I speak for the majority of us what I say that I hope to see some results from Rusty in the near future regarding his promised Collborative Multimedia Federation. If he's not willing to work on this project despite all the financial contributions and moral support from his community, he should admit this to us and himself, and hand over the reins to somebody who still cares.
