Scoop is a web application designed to make it easy to run your own weblog. A weblog, defined loosely, is a website that posts news, or articles, or even just a personal diary-type thing, and is updated on a fairly regular basis. Many weblogs seek to provide a kind of online community, and allow readers to post comments of their own, and participate in the site in other ways. Scoop attempts to make it pretty easy to run a site that does these things.
