News websites are starting to see some competition on the local data front from niche players that do one thing very well. Witness SignalMap, which maps users' reports of cellular reception, and CleanScores, a database of restaurant health inspections in...Posted 2007.11.18, 13:24 PT
Rethinking the Merc
Kudos to the San Jose Mercury News. After a series of demoralizing cuts that seemed destined to precipitate the newspaper's slide into oblivion, the remaining staffers have refused to write their own obituary. They're fundamentally rethinking how their organization should...Posted 2007.11.05, 23:25 PT

News consumption graphs
Akamai has charts showing current online news consumption around the world. Peak in North America: 2.4 million visitors per minute. I'd say that's enough audience to build a business model around. (Thanks to Michael Owen for the link.)...Posted 2007.06.08, 07:47 PT

Digg and other cutting-edge stuff
OK, I may be the last person to discover the wonders of digg, but that doesn't mean I can't write about it. Digg is essentially a link repository coupled with a user rating system. It does certain things very well...Posted 2006.06.29, 01:28 PT

The smoke seen 'round the world
I guess somebody had to do it... MSNBC has trained a webcam on the Sistine Chapel chimney from which a puff of white smoke will herald the selection of a new pope. Some will no doubt see the "SmokeCam" as...Posted 2005.04.19, 06:35 PT

Bloggers, journalists cross paths in Hollywood
The theme of the 2004 Online News Association conference, if there was one, seems to be that journalists and their uncredentialed, unkempt, pajama-clad cousins have learned to live together in the online realm. Everyone now pretty much agrees that bloggers...Posted 2004.11.14, 07:42 PT
