Interesting stuff I saw online, Jan. 15 to Jan. 17
Here’s some of the stuff I thought was interesting while stomping through the Internet from Jan. 15 through Jan. 17:
- Is Citizen Journalist Coverage of a Plane Crash More Important Than a Plane Crash? – “Is the rise of citizen journalism one of the best outgrowths of the digital age? Absolutely.

- Social Media Steals the Show in NY Plane Crash – “Photographs showing Flight 1549′s emergency landing began popping up on social networking sites like Facebook and microblogging services like Twitter and Tumblr well before national news reports caught wind of the story. And for Web users who were at work, out of the office, or otherwise far from a TV, social media remained their sole source for updates on the story.” — InternetNews Realtime IT News
- South Carolina Legislator Seeks to Criminalize Profanity in Public – “Has Senator Ford ever heard of the First Amendment?” — Citizen Media Law Project
