The Founders of Whitedust
An anonymous reader writes "Whitedust is running an informative interview with their Founders - Mark Anderson and Mark Hinge. In the interview the two Mark's set out the reasoning behind and the future of Whitedust.net." From the article: "Mark Anderson had been on at me as regards doing what he coined 'HTML Ezine' for a long time - I had been a bit of a purist about it but he finally won me around to his mode of thinking. At the same time there was something that had personally been bugging me since @stake took over hackernews and that was the lack of centralized INFOsec information; people had tried to produce a site along these lines but had either become totally bias, or been maintained badly (lack of updates etc). I saw what I considered a gap in the market and convinced Mark that the topic of any 'HTML Ezine' should be Information Security (something we both knew a fair bit about anyway)."

An Introduction To Whitedust
The Whitedust Security Portal is an attempt to bring back the now forgotten way to repaying the community by putting material of interest back into it. While many diverse sources of security news and articles are available on the internet, few of those sources are specifically targetted at the security community and none of them are unbiased. Known for bringing quality security news, articles and resources to IS professionals all over the world, the Whitedust name stands for integrity.
Whitedust is expected to become the most popular supplier of security information to the EU and the United States. This vision of a new security content landscape is attributed to Whitedust's dedication to always present timely and current news.
Mission Statement
Having firmly established ourselves as the leading independent security news portal, Whitedust is now the leading distributor of timely and current uncut security news. As we push past our 1st anniversary, Whitedust will capture the attention of an even larger readership by maintaining our unique tradition of reporting the news as it happens, not when it suits us.
And All I Ask is a Tall Ship And a Star to Steer Her By
The problem with digg is that it's filled with 15 year olds saying "k3w1 CSS HaXor5!!!!!!1!!eleventy-one!!" and "Cool Tutorial!!!!!!!" and other inanity. For every decent article, there's 10 with the title of "Check This Out!!!" There's just too much chaffe at digg.
