What are Stabilitas Flashpoints?
The purpose of 'Flashpoints' is to bring reporting that might be lost in the wake of more prominent stories to the surface and aid security professionals in keeping their team safe and informed.
This is a pretty cool service, I'm interested. I'd be interested to know more about it.
It would be better if you posted all links to "other sources" also though.
Thanks! This is awesome feedback.
How do you think we could best present the "other source" information? Footnotes?
That's a good question, might be difficult to do without clutter. You could hyperlink the first source, and then use a series of numbers just on one line to keep it neat, something like:
siasat.com and 7 other sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
You could prettify that a bit but that's kind of what I'd expect so I can read the different angles of the Flashpoint for myself.
