I just discovered Spot.us http://spot.us/pages/about which is an "open source community project." Are open source projects trustworthy? How can they help your writing career? If you are familiar with Spot.us or other open source projects, please share. Thanks!

Hi WM2
While I cannot vouch for all "open source community" projects, I can tell you that Spot.us is a highly respected, and respectable, project. The foundation and folks behind it are some of the highest regarded when it comes to journalism and journalistic ethics.
As to whether or not such projects can help your writing career, my opinion is a definite YES (provided they are a good community such as spot.us). Writing for such a community can raise your profile and help establish you as a credible journalist - both important brand-building techniques.
