News Flash for Digest + Ignition Ismaili Digest and Ismaili Ignition's 25 Year Vision for the Community | Ismaili Digest's Team Talks to You
"In 25 years I would like to be able to list 25 profound and permanent achievements the community accomplished that fundamentally moved the community forward in ways we could not anticipate in advance because we chose to tap the full intellectual capacity of the community. If that's the objective, then there are two overarching challenges we face to achieve it. First, we really need to start nurturing a culture that truly looks to marshal and leverage the community wisdom, that Hazar Imam recently spoke of, from across the entire Jamat and not just small segments. Secondly a culture that truly respects and encourages socially responsible, reliable, trustworthy private initiative, that helps serve the Jamat, also needs to be nurtured."

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
