Due to my previous comment issue and the theme I was using not being supported any more, I decided to redecorate. Plus, being that I am talking about online journalism and the “future” of the medium, I thought it fitting that I have a more streamlined, futuristic theme. I’m quite pleased with it actually, though there are still some minor tweaks to make.
Some reading for today:
- It seems Cablevision Systems Corps. is joining the bidding war for Newsday. Looks like this one might be bloody.
- The 7th Annual APMR Online Convergence Awards are open! Who will be the biggest innovator?
- The San Diego Union-Tribune has taken a bold step and launched its own social network.
- Mathew Ingram: According to report coming tomorrow, Facebook and Wikipedia are better in emergencies. If you were watching either during the VTech shooting you can see the validity of this study. Josh Catone weighs in as well.
- Tools: Paul Bradshaw on how journalists can master twitter and Shawn Smith gives a good primer on RSS feeds.
- Robert Niles over at OJR wants to know ‘Where you would like to work in an ideal world?’
- New tool: BlogRize. Will it be the Orkut (read: elitist) of the social bookmarking sites?
