Interesting stuff I saw online, Jun. 1 to Jun. 8
Here’s some of the stuff I thought was interesting while stomping through the Internet from Jun. 1 through Jun. 8:
- Boston Police Would Tweet A Zombie Attack | NewsTechZilla – "I love things like this; when an organization or company I assume is otherwise faceless is able to properly use social media (by, gasp, being social), it always kind of makes me happy."
- ConvoTrack – Loads comments from Twitter, digg, etc. on any page – "This simple bookmarklet will load comments from Twitter, FriendFeed, Digg, Reddit, HackerNews and any blog mentioning the article and will load it in a handy sidebar."
- 50 Great Examples of Data Visualization – "Below are 50 of the best data visualizations and tools for creating your own visualizations out there, covering everything from Digg activity to network connectivity to what’s currently happening on Twitter."
- Is this useful? An account of how I started blogging and how it changed my journalism – "Pete told me this was known as “crowd-sourcing” and had a wide range of potential applications for newspapers. I can not stress enough how helpful it was to have someone that I could call to have coffee with and pick their brains on how the web “worked”. I started to look at journalism in a new way through Pete’s explanations of blogging."
