I asked Peter Shankman a few easy questions today about his Help A Reporter Out project.

As previously stated, I'm rooting for the CrunchPad too, until the moment Apple releases something similar at a $199 price point (probably in its 3rd generation).

Regina McCombs apparently talked with a posse of great hacker journalists over the last couple days for insight into Everyblock's code and its open-source release. Great stuff in here from some familiar friends.

Howard Owens turns out a well-crafted blog post, which tells me he's working on his book again, including this kicker as an answer to those who demand an online news business model that works for publishers, today: "There are a number of worthy experiments in online publishing going on out there. Maybe rather than scoff, some of these skeptics should stop yapping and try an experiment or two of their own. Maybe one of them will find the model that will one day employ a legion of highly paid investigators, at least until the next disruption comes along."

Jack Lail points out the hard truth about "permanent" online archives of news: We lose stuff all the time, as we shift systems, migrate databases, and especially when we move static files. I think those days will be over soon, as more content management systems integrate file management and packages as part of their database, assuming you can port your old database into the next system when it comes along. (Not as easy as switching from Blogger to WordPress.)

Thanks for posting. Any other podcasts planned?
Nothing scheduled, but the idea would be to do quick five-minute calls like this using the free Cinch thing to record.
No software necessary, and no editing. Upload the mp3 in WordPress and use the Podpress plugin for the player.
