Did your favorite entertainment blog beat CNN to a story? Do you look at 7/10 product review scores suspiciously? Do you sometimes get breaking news via Twitter from reliable colleagues in 140 characters or less? The social internet is awesome. We help publish a little slice of it.

ModernMethod is a software and web publishing company for people that seek out online communities as an alternative to top-down journalism. We believe in accountable, enthusiast press and that's what we do every day: Our mission is to build web sites and software that bring together outspoken, like-minded people. The results are stories that are often more entertaining, passionate, and transparent than other forms of media. Our job is essentially to give everyday people voice, make their stories more visible, and get out of their way. That's job #1 - the community comes first.

So far, so good: In 2006 we created the Elephant publishing system. With it we've brought together nearly 1.8 million people every month to discuss gaming at Destructoid, 350,000 anime fans unite at Japanator, and 150,000 toy collectors use Tomopop. We've also created some jobs along the way -- we call that living the dream.

But enough about us -- check out our web sites and see for yourself.
