I think a common problem for people today is information overload. One of the things CoAlpha could offer is a synthesized selection of the best articles, books, and websites on (for example) feminism. The same could be done for dating or expatriating or whatever else we decide is an important issue for CoAlphas.

I think this would be helpful because a lot of the sites that are out there merely end up repeating the same information over and over again endlessly.
