I’m happy to announce that I’m launching the first of my Track projects today. It’s called next:maine, and it’s up and running at nextmaine.com.
next:maine is a new place to collect stories about how people are moving Maine forward. Sometimes it seems pretty tough to spot the new and exciting things that people are doing every day in Maine among the day’s headlines, and I want next:maine to be a place that solely focuses on the great work people are doing in Maine to help create the future.
You may notice that the design of the site looks a little reminiscent of Another New World. That’s not a coincidence. I want to take what I’ve learned from ANW and apply it to Maine innovation – but I don’t want to stop there. I’m eager to build next:maine in new ways over time, but I thought paystubs for business was a great place to start.
I’ve lived in Maine my whole life. I love this place, and I really want to see Maine lead the way to new technology and innovation. Hopefully next:maine can allow people to realize how individuals and businesses are making Maine work and grow.
I’d love to hear what you think. Please let me know what you’d love to see on next:maine, or send a link my way if you know of a story that would fit well. You can subscribe to next:maine with RSS or via email, and you can, of course, follow next:maine on Twitter.
