</P> Philly Future is a compendium of the best online writers, narrators, blogs, and commentators in the greater Philadelphia region. Our goal is to empower people to learn of and communicate the diversity, history, sites, sounds, joys, concerns, and news of the Philadelphia region. It's what you consider to be important and in need of being heard. It's the news YOU write, for the city and the world.

</p> We endeavor to do this in two ways: </p>

1. Aggregating the best of our regional web and highlighting those in the community that need to be heard. You can read their latest stories by clicking the The Philly Wire link on the main menu. If your blog isn't listed, click here for consideration to be included. </p>

2. Providing tools that allow you to shape the site directly. With an account you can:

  • Get your own Philly Future weblog, with it's own address and RSS feed. Your stories will automatically be shown in Philly Future's primary categories. Selected posts will be chosen for the home page.
  • Post photos to our photo galleries.
  • Take part in comment threads across the site.
