Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Online social networks have long let users reveal their preferences to each other, but now they are moving to the next level by harnessing the potential of personal recommendations.
UK site osoyou.com gives surfers access to users' sartorial tips, while iliketotallyloveit.com from Germany allows users to share more general products that they think people should buy, and provides a link to an online shop where the items can be purchased.
MyFaveShop.com takes the trend even further. A venture from Lord Saatchi (pictured) and John Clare, the former chief executive of Dixons, it lets shoppers design their own web store, choose the products to display and then invite friends and family to stop by for a spot of peer-endorsed e-tailing.
