By Alexia Tsotsis for TechCrunch, August 18 2011. Kibin, a new startup, runs an editing "community" where users can edit each other's work for free (earning points for editing others' work; paying in points for having your own work edited). Users can also buy Kibin credits (rather than bartering) in order to have their work edited.
R.A. posted this as she is "wondering what role the teaching of grammar and mechanics will play in our future curricular decisions. Will we be focusing on critical thinking and rhetorical strategies instead, as areas where computers and online editors will be less useful?"
