Buyouts 2.0 Web2.0, new media, news business | (2)
In an interesting twist, William M. Hartnett of the Palm Beach Post has been Twittering his buyout meeting. Some highlights: - No details yet on layoff severance package if buyouts don't meet job cut goals. Just "less generous." 9 minutes ago from web - Guy in front row is staring at the ceiling. 7 minutes ago from web - Separation pay taxed at normal rate, unless received as lump sum. 13 minutes ago from web - They'll be "exited" that day.

NY Times goes social, slighly endorses Firefox over IE Web2.0, new media | (0)
The New York Times has added a social feature to its site called TimesPeople (beta). While not a full-fledged social network, the new feature allows people to create a profile, add friends and share articles.

After a decade, the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication has decided to cease publication of the website. The archives will remain online, but there will be no new articles. One of OJR's goals over the years has been to help mid-career journalists make a successful transition from other media to online reporting and production. I'm pleased to say that USC Annenberg will continue to provide support in that area, through the Knight ...

Today is RSS awareness day Web2.0, new media, technology | (0)
You know the geek demographic is taking over when they are starting to make holidays out of Web technologies. I for one welcome our new geeky overlords and look forward to toiling away in their underground server rooms. But I digress. According to Daniel Scocco over at Daily Blog Tips today is indeed RSS Awareness Day. So if you or your newsroom are totally clueless about this RSS thing, what better day than today to hold a quick boot camp or primer on one of the most useful and simple Web technologies available. Don't feel like explaining it all, just send this ...
