File this one under self-serving if you like, but I feel a little like a proud new parent.  SMTodaymedia (which is basically me and Robin Carey and a virtual cast of thousands) has just launched a new social community called the Cleantech Collective.  It’s similar in concept to our Social Media Today community in that it brings together many of the best, and most neglected, bloggers on the internet on a particular subject (in this case, environmental business issues) and creates an open community around the topic.

The basic notion is that there is a tremendous amount of great information about environmental issues being generated on the web by people who are true experts in the field, but until now there has been no place where it all comes together in the form of one large conversation.  By bringing all that great writing and thinking into Cleantech Collective, we hope to build a genuine community of concerned citizens, investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers that will have have a real impact on the cleantech revolution.  Drop by and join in if you’re so inclined.
