[|Outbounding] = Community-driven website; members curate excellent travel content to share with new audiences across the web.


 * Here's how it works:** Outbounding uses Twitter to register and create accounts. Your Twitter handle will be your username on Outbounding and registration/login will enable you to share content, post comments and create/edit your Outbounding profile.

Outbounding resembles Reddit in that anyone can submit quality features and the best are voted up (upvoted!) by members. There's also the Ask Me Anything Q&A sessions.


 * What we like best:** Very easy to tweet a beloved travel feature, podcast, slideshare presentation. We love the quality of the comments. First rate! Outbounding affirms the value of being generous. See Outbounding's very own [|Guideline #2]: "The community works best when we’re sharing great content from across the web, not just our own material. Please don’t limit yourself to posting your own stuff, we’d also like to know what other content you’re finding inspiring and influential wherever it may be published."

On our wishlist: An #Outbounding for environmental journalism

Manifesto
http://about.outbounding.org/blog/2014/02/14/need-better The Outbounding Manifesto

We'd love to be able to edit the text a bit after submitting a link or comments Is it possible to embed the rss from topics? Can you explain the karma points?
 * On the wishlist:**

A few words about Karma
Members earn karma points by submitting strong content that the rest of the community appreciates. The more content you submit, from diverse domains (not just your own), which generates more votes and comments, the more karma points you earn.

In turn karma gradually increases your voting weight. Not by a huge amount, but just enough to reward members who play a positive role in the community and give them more weight relatively to those who only ever submit their own content, or weak content.

Essentially it's the algorithm's way of reinforcing positive behaviour and making the role of our editors and regular community members much easier.

Guidelines
Please keep the following in mind when submitting, voting or commenting on OutBounding.org:

 * 1) 1 SUBMIT ONLY THE BEST

The community works best when we’re sharing great content from across the web, not just our own material. Please don’t limit yourself to posting your own stuff, we’d also like to know what other content you’re finding inspiring and influential wherever it may be published.
 * 1) 2 AND NOT (JUST) YOUR OWN

OutBounding.org is a labor of love and our editors are all volunteers. For this reason we take a zero tolerance policy to spam. Members that abuse the community will be banned without warning.
 * 1) 3 ZERO SPAM

Please respect our community when writing a comment, giving a response or interacting with your fellow members. Differing opinions and constructive criticism are welcome. Anger, insults and derogatory language are not tolerated.
 * 1) 4 COURTESY COUNTS
