Saving America: A Safe Place for Online Politics?

With election season on the way, many Americans are gearing up to delete, hide and de-friend the spew of political ranting that’s bound to invade our Facebook and Twitter feeds. But what if we could harness the awesome reach of social media to discuss on the issues of our country in a way that was actually civil?

That’s the premise behind Saving America, a new social network that launched this month. The for-profit model aims to direct the focus and passion of America away from angry diatribes and toward a constructive exchange of ideas on issues ranging from education to innovation.

To tempt thoughtful users with a greater reward than typing out a perfectly nasty barb, Saving America has introduced a new digital currency called the SA Coin.
