Poynter Online - Romenesko

Poynter Online - Romenesko:

"'Since online journalism is still in its relative infancy it's one that
can be solved,' writes Jonathan Rosenberg (left). 'The experience of consuming
news on the web today fails to take full advantage of the power of technology.
It doesn't understand what users want in order to give them what they need. When
I go to a site like the New York Times or the San Jose Mercury, it should know
what I am interested in and what has changed since my last visit."


He has a really good point. The news of the past waited for the reader to come to it, the news of the future will need to find ways to reach out to the reader. That means on the web, on phones, and using information in interactive formats.

Time for Burris to go!

First he dodges a question about who he talked to. Then he comes forward and says - yes I did talk to the governor's brother but I didn't give him any money. The final straw is that he now admitts he tried to raise funds for the governor.

The benefit of the doubt had already been stretched thin and taut by the time Roland Burris offered his third version of the events leading to his appointment to the U.S. Senate. It finally snapped like a rubber band, popping him on that long Pinocchio nose of his, when he came out with version four.

Another attempt to give the terrorists what they want

Who was behind 9/11

I don't really believe it, but it is funny.
clipped from www.redstate.com

Here’s how my very simple theory works: the common 9/11 truthers are - as a rule - unemployed, living at home, and nutritionally deficient due to a vigorously vegan diet. This gave them the free time, as well the depressed hostility (due to lack of animal protein) needed to plan the attacks. After the attacks, they were initially pleased that America mistakenly blamed bin Laden. But they also knew that, given time, after realizing the innocence of these young Islamic entrepreneurs, the scent of guilt would lead only to them.

Paris Hilton “Icon Of The Decade”

Paris Hilton “Icon Of The Decade”:

"Kanye West has already appointed himself “the voice of our generation,” and now

Paris for better or worse, really is the icon of the decade.

"He'd been cheating on her for years. She had his babies, she endured the other
women, she let him back in the door every time he ran away, only to come
slinking back with apologies. For a while now though he has stayed at home. More
mature, done with that life, he's now completely committed to her, ready to take
the next step… Problem? It's her turn to be unfaithful. And not only with a
random but with someone he knows. More importantly, someone he trusts. Worse –
it's no secret. They're all aware, all around them, except for him. And everyone
is bracing for drama. Because what started as a purely physical affair has
turned into one sided love. The other man wants more, is willing to fight for
it, putting her in the middle. He's threatening to blow it all wide open, she's
begging him to calm down, but he's pressuring her to come clean.
