- Still grasping for a clue?
Lots of talk about Don MacAskill’s post detailing his experiences with BusinessWeek and the LA Times. Reading the bits about the Times makes me cringe. I want the experience to be different and I think there is a gathering momentum to do things in a much more Web-friendly way but we aren’t there [...]
- The Atlantic Opening up for All to Read
According to the New York Times, tomorrow The Atlantic will be opening up their archives beyond just for subscribers.
Readership will get another boost starting Tuesday, when TheAtlantic.com will abolish the fire wall that has allowed only subscribers to the print magazine to see most of its articles online. It will make its archive accessible, too.
I [...]
- Changes at the Times
Over the weekend, there was a parting of the ways between The Times and former editor James O’Shea.
In a defiant speech delivered in the newsroom, O’Shea, 64, complained about what he called the “pervasive culture of defeat” manifested by repeated cutbacks in newsroom spending across the country. He attacked Tribune’s budgeting process for [...]
- Starling
Blaine Cook from Twitter released Starling last week. He describes it as:
Starling is a light-weight persistent queue server that speaks the MemCache protocol. It was built to drive Twitter’s backend, and is in production across Twitter’s cluster.

- topics.latimes.com
We launched something officially this week, http://topics.latimes.com. It actually went out mid-December but it isn’t official until it was linked to from the main Entertainment section, which was given a facelift in case you didn’t notice.
- The Return of a Familiar Icon
I think it is absolutely awesome that Brent was able to release NetNewsWire for free. I always enjoyed using it but I went away for a bit once EarthLink released a Web-based reader. Then that was shut down so I had to use Google Reader. Needless to say, I haven’t been happy [...]
- Newspapers as a Social Object?
I’m re-reading Douglas Rushkoff’s Get Back in the Box and finding it extremely more interesting and thought-provoking at the Times then when I was at EarthLink. The chapter I just finished was on social currency and it was mirrored some things that Hugh Macleod has been posting about social objects
Here’s Hugh’s definition of a [...]
- Programming Collective Intelligence
I’m finally starting to make my way thru Programming Collective Intelligence by Toby Segaran. It’s been mocking me from my desk for the past weeks and I wouldn’t let myself pick it up until after a launch and after the holidays. Since both of those have passed (and yes I realize I haven’t [...]
- Snapshots of the Candidates
In last Sunday’s paper, there is a special section with photos of 8 candidates. I was really impressed with the variety of pictures and the shots the photographers could get. Actually, I should say that I’m constantly impressed with the quality of our pictures. They are amazing and I don’t think we [...]
