The WELL

A place made of words

Ever had a really special place to hang out? That special place online is The WELL. A gathering place where the currency is ideas. Where you actually know the name of the person you're talking with. This leads to real conversations and relationships. It's the people of The WELL who determine this experience and make community possible. Community is the word people have used to describe their attraction to the conversation there since it started, in hundreds of members-only forums launched by a remarkable group of Northern California writers and iconoclasts way back in 1985. The WELL was the place where Salon itself was planned -- and new visions are hatched there daily.

Table Talk

Salon's spirited forums

Where do Salon's readers gather to debate the news of the day, share the real issues of their lives and forge values and viewpoints? Since Salon was born, Table Talk has provided a town square for interactive feedback and a powerful destination in its own right. TTers are an eclectic group with strong and articulate opinions. A group that has found ways to influence events in the world, and to change one another's lives. Most of TT can be read by the world at large, and use of your real name is common but not mandatory there. Table Talk shifts plans, purposes and perspectives.
