• Calls on the President to actually USE Twitter (@marshallk ) – Maybe you should try it sometime, Mr. Obama. And while you’re at it, you should ask someone to brief you on the movement for distributed social networking standards. A speaking gig in China would have been a great opportunity to sing the praises of decentralized, standards-based, interoperable, free-market competition in communication technologies. That’s the next part of the Twitter story
• How Social Media is Taking the News Local – Early last year, journalists Cory Bergman and his wife, Kate, started a Seattle-area neighborhood network of news blogs called Next Door Media, which won the Online News Association’s first Community Collaboration award in 2009.Cory Bergman said in an e-mail interview that about 80% of their stories come from their neighbors and what they post in the blogs’ forums, comments, e-mail, Facebook and Twitter. Experienced journalists who live in the neighborhood cover stories they find via those methods, using traditional journalism skills to gather and confirm information. When the stories are posted to the blogs, a hat tip is given to the user who originated the idea.
• Excellente synthèse du débat Murdoch-Google et de la couverture Twitter de la tuerie de Ft. Hood – In this week’s edition, I look at recent comments by News Corp. honcho Rupert Murdoch about taking his content out of Google searches, and how many people reacted to it. Plus, many news organizations made Twitter Lists to cover the Ft. Hood shooting, but the Austin American-Statesman had an excellent Twitter feed of original and aggregated information. And Salon CEO Richard Gingras talks about how his site will be funding investigative journalism with soft-news features.
• A Microformat with Major Implications for The Newsroom – Imagine this: you visit one of your favorite news sites and the homepage displays a notification that an article you read yesterday has been updated with new information, and a story you read last week has been corrected. The notification enables you to click on a link and read the correction, or to be taken to the updated story.

• Why Google Latitude’s added features have potential for mobile journalism ( /by @paulbradshaw ) – Google Latitude, a service that works with your mobile phone to enable people to see where you are, has launched 2 new services with interesting potential for mobile journalism: Location History and Location Alerts.

• My students don’t have TVs … – CBC News wants to attract younger viewers with its recent relaunch, but as Carleton broadcast journalist instructor Marilyn Mercer found out, many of her students don’t have TVs or cable subscription
• “Welt Kompakt” among the first newspapers around the world to integrate Google Wave into its coverage (via @philaloux ) – Welt Kompakt, a spinoff of the German daily Die Welt, is among the first newspapers around the world to integrate Google Wave into its coverage, Revolution Magazine reported yesterday. The addition comes even as the lifestyle daily also invites readers to follow its editors – and contribute to content – via the free tabloid’s Twitter account, Welt Kompakt yesterday announced.
• Le New York Times publie un article financé par souscription du public (Spot.us). (via @eni_kao et @couve ) – The New York Times has published a story about the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” by Lindsey Hoshaw that was funded in part through the “community funded journalism” site Spot.Us, which helped Hoshaw raise $10,000 from more than 100 people so she could report the story.

Voici quelques articles dont la pertinence/l’intérêt m’ont marqué au cours des dernières 24H. Faites-en bon usage ! :-)

• Mateusz Kukulka quitte le bench 22-A – Le métier de journaliste est un métier formidable mais trimer sans cesse à des tarifs tout sauf honorables n’est plus tenable, surtout lorsque le grand patron de la boîte t’annonce que les tarifs vont diminuer de 12 %… Je ne sais même pas comment on peut qualifier une telle proposition. En tout cas, on peut dire qu’elle est restée au travers de la gorge de tous les indépendants de la boîte. Moi elle m’a décidé à m’en aller.

  Après avoir passé quatre longues et chouettes années à la Dernière Heure/Les Sports (surtout), la Tribune de Bruxelles (un peu) et la Libre Belgique (de plus en plus), je n’ai pas vraiment hésité au moment de faire le pas de l’autre côté du miroir.
  (…)
  A partir du 17 août, je serai l’attaché de presse de Christos Doulkeridis (sur Twitter), secrétaire d’Etat Ecolo au Logement et au Siamu ; ministre-président de la Cocof en charge du Tourisme, de l’Enseignement et du Budget.
• At the moment, around 25 percent of all Wave sessions end in a crash (via @JacopoGio ) – Behind the scenes, the reality is sobering for the Rasmussens and the 6,000 or so people actively using Wave. Job No. 1 for the brothers Rasmussen–who are managing the Google Wave project–is making sure Wave is stable enough to accommodate 100,000 new users that will start doing the Wave after September 30, when Google opens up the limited preview to a wider audience
  (…)
  So why go public now, with so much yet to be accomplished? The brothers Rasmussen have heard the shouts of “vaporware,” and actually chose the opposite launch strategy for the product that launched their Google careers: Google Maps wasn’t unveiled until it was complete.The difference with Wave is that Google believes developer feedback is crucial to its evolution as a product. “We wanted to get people thinking about how we’re going to use it and what people are going to use it for,” Lars said.
• Stage de survie à destination de mes enfants | Jean Michel Planche – Excellent article dont je recommande chaudement la lecture à tous les parents/éducateurs qui se posent des questions sur la manière (les manières) d’aborder le web avec des enfants. MUST READ !
