Interesting stuff I saw online, Jan. 22 to Jan. 26
Here’s some of the stuff I thought was interesting while stomping through the Internet from Jan. 22 through Jan. 26:
- How I Made a 1,474-Megapixel Photo During President Obama's Inaugural Address – David Bergman: "I made a panoramic image showing the nearly two million people who watched President Obama's inaugural address. To do so, I clamped a Gigapan Imager to the railing on the north media platform about six feet from my photo position. The Gigapan is a robotic camera mount that allows me to take multiple images and stitch them together, creating a massive image file." [Via Pogue's Posts]
- New job challenges in the White House – CrunchGear – "…worst of all, the folks so keen on their Facebooks and Twitters found that government regulations drastically curtail how they can communicate."
- Let’s talk about the economics of great journalism – Media Channel – "Having been in and around journalism, citizen journalism and publishing for a long time, let me suggest we stop talking about the ethics of providing complete and useful information to citizens of a democracy, which are barely changed by the requirements of social media and cloud computing technology, in isolation from the economics of journalism. If someone delivers great journalism on a regular basis, what does it cost to do it? What is it worth to you to get better news coverage of an important issue?"
- NYTimes' Policy on Facebook and Other Social Networking Sites – Posted on Poynter: "Another problem worth thinking about is how careful to be about Facebook 'friends.' Can we write about someone who is a 'friend?'"
