Interesting stuff I saw online, Feb. 17 to Feb. 21
Here’s some of the stuff I thought was interesting while stomping through the Internet from Feb. 17 through Feb. 21:
- USAToday and Microblogging Offline – Via chrisbrogan.com: "We think often about how the web is so amazing and how communication works online, but to really get a sense of dynamism, don’t forget to look at what’s going on offline."
- Baby Boomers, Luddites? Not So Fast – From the New York Times: "A recent report from Forrester Research indicates that while it might be tempting to categorize all aging Americans as techno-dinosaurs and Luddites, more than 60 percent of baby boomers are avid consumers of social media like blogs, forums, podcasts and online videos. That’s up from roughly 40 percent a year ago."
- The Top 21 Twitter Applications (According to Compete) – TechCrunch: "We’ve accumulated a list of the twenty most popular Twitter applications, based on monthly unique visitor data from Compete."
- CJR: Where’s the line between selling yourself and selling out? – “We’re pretty damn methodical about making sure anybody who cares about a story we wrote knows about it.” — Jim VandeHei, Politico’s co-editor.
- Using Publish2: How will smaller news staffs cover the giant stimulus story? – Etaoin Shrdlu: "Reporters will be able to search a sophisticated database of all the reader submissions – for instance, zeroing in on a particular region, or a certain company, or an individual government department. The system will let them query their readers to solicit feedback and information on specific stimulus topics. Meanwhile, Publish2 will also provide an aggregated list of links to all the best stimulus journalism around the country, which can be used to augment and extend individual websites."
