Grasswire is a collaborative user-generated social news aggregation and fact-checking hub. A crowd-sourced breaking news service founded by Austen Allred, Grasswire is considered a wikipedia-style platform for real-time news.
The service is automated and gathers the latest updates from Twitter. Every update has a fast check feature that allows anyone to submit a report on why they believe the information or image is true or not.
Originally focused on news articles, Allred eventually made Grasswire a real-time newsroom covering all types of news content.
