Jacob, thanks especially for profiling Puget Sound Off, I’d not known about it and like a lot of their approach.

I’m pulling it through feedburner now, we’ll see if it smarts up again
Looks like it’s working swell, now :)

These reports from the UK appear to be well formed — http://blog.e-democracy.org/posts/1078 — and include this observation: “We are still a bit of an outlier because we insist on e-mail publishing options for strong inclusion and the use of real names as the cornerstone for building community trust, ensuring greater influence with elected officials, and [...]

Will AOL buying TechCrunch hurt the quality, even the integrity, of technology coverage? Consider this — Suzanne Choney of MSNBC.com reported:
Heather Harde, TechCrunch’s CEO, said that the sale ”represents a compelling opportunity to extend the TechCrunch brand while complementing the great work of sites like Engadget and Switched,” which are also owned by AOL.
Engadget and TechCrunch were direct competition, especially through TechCrunch’s CrunchGear site, until today. Also going head to head, until today: TechCrunch’s MobileCrunch site v. Engadget Mobile.
Now AOL owns it all, and two of the top names in ”tech news” are going to ”complement” each other. Scoble calls this ”the end of an era in tech blogging.”

Jacob, that’s a great point. The Seattle Times is first on the dais for news in our community. In fact I recently searched for “Seattle” and they were the number two result, after Seattle.gov! so their place in our community goes beyond the news. Considering how the search engines rank things, they’ve won a sort [...]

”We commonly call Twitter a “platform,” the better to emphasize its emptiness, its openness, its agnosticism. More properly, though, Twitter is a medium, with all the McLuhanesque implications that term suggests.”
– Megan Garber of the Nieman Journalism Lab
Garber asks what ”the new Twitter” means for ”new journalism.” Twitter have updated their interface in a major way, making them more than ever a news media platform.
Garber observes: ”The Twitter.com of today, as compared to the Twitter.com of yesterday, is much more about information that’s meaningful and contextual and impactful. Which is to say, it’s much more about journalism.”
See Garber’s article here http://www.niemanlab.org/2010/09/twitter-as-broadcast-what-newtwitter-might-mean-for-networked-journalism/
and a video about the new Twitter, below
My first impressions are good, but I wish the makeover included cool new ways to interact with lists. Scoble agrees. Here’s his initial take.

@psessum good to see you here, Pete. These days it seems only an organized general public can manage watching the watchdogs. I’m glad WNC is here to help that along!

From Choney’s piece at MSNBC.com, The Gray Lady might owe GOOG and VZ an apology, see http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38576914/ — as she writes there: “Google has been one of the big forces behind the Open Internet Coalition , which supports “network neutrality,” the notion that no Internet content should be blocked, slowed or given preference on Internet networks in [...]

We introduced a new feature in the WNC Community today: members can now edit their activity stream status updates within 2 hours of having posted them.
The 2 hour time period is negotiable. I had to pick a number, but if anyone thinks it should be shorter or longer then we can modify that. 10 minutes? 1 week? 1 month? 1 year? I thought it would be good to give people a chance to ”undo” but to balance that with consideration for anyone who replied to an update. Thoughts?
Sidenote: with this, WNC administrators have also gained the ability to edit any update and with no time limit on that ability. We have better moderation tools planned for the future, but for the time being let @wnc know if you see something which should be removed.

Had a great time tonight at a Journalism That Matters collaboratory potluck, following up on the JTMPNW unconference from January 2010. A few people reviewed @wnc ’s new site and we caught up on many journalism projects percolating in the area.
Cheers especially @peggyholman for hosting another great one.
definitely! also enjoyed connecting with @michaelbradbury
