Congratulations to Dan Gillmor on his announcement that he's leaving the San Jose Mercury News to launch a new venture in the field of grassroots journalism/citizen reporting. Whatever Dan comes up with will be worth watching. Gillmor writes:

  A friend who knew about this ahead of time asked the question I'm sure some others will ask: "Are you nuts?"

That is precisely the question people asked me and my colleagues from the San Francisco Examiner when we left nine years ago to start Salon. I'd been at the Examiner roughly a decade, the same amount of time Gillmor's been at the Merc. I haven't regretted the leap into a more entrepreneurial fray, and I don't think Dan will either. Perhaps being nuts is, you know, underrated.
