Three threads tied together
I’ve been doing a bit of lightweight reporting and writing for a few other spots on the Web over the last two weeks, and the stories all pull together very nicely, like so: First, over at the official Publish2 Blog, I posted a few notes on Evolving Platforms for Collaboration. You’ll find five examples there of…

IdeaLab: Q&A 2.0
Over at the PBS IdeaLab blog, I wrote something earlier this week about what I think of as Q&A 2.0, the recent string of modern, general purpose question & answer sites exploring different ways to gather, filter, and deliver information. And that’s the right way to think about it: Gather, filter, and deliver information. That’s…

New at IdeaLab: The People Formerly Known as the Audience need a new name
Over at IdeaLab, I’m continuing a conversation I started on Twitter a couple weeks ago that spilled over here as well. What do you call your readers now that they’re participating actively in the creation and curation of unbundled media? Do you call them a community? Better yet, what makes an online “community” and how…

New at IdeaLab: What’s new in ReportingOn 2.0 and what’s been left undone
Over at IdeaLab, I’ve got a post up that circles back to the first version of ReportingOn, my Knight News Challenge project. In the post, I revisit some of the problems the 2.0 release was intended to solve, and I do a bit of scorekeeping on RO’s progress. Here’s a bit from the post about…

At IdeaLab: Paul Bradshaw on crowdsourcing investigative journalism
Over at IdeaLab, I’ve been way past deadline for a post, after (again) making all sorts of promises about helping out more over there. Until now. After playing the modern equivalent of phone tag (Twitter DMs and e-mail across two operating systems and one ocean) for a week or so, Paul Bradshaw and I landed…

On IdeaLab: Reporter-turned-blogger covers the island of Alameda
Over at the PBS IdeaLab blog, I interviewed Michele Ellson, editor and publisher at The Island, a local news site devoted to covering the city of Alameda, which sits to the west of Oakland in San Francisco Bay. (Yes, it’s an island.) Michele left newspapers in 2007 and launched The Island in early 2008, continuing…

On IdeaLab: DIY development, design, community management, and marketing isn’t for me (this year)
Over at IdeaLab, I’ve posted an update on what’s going on with ReportingOn, which is to say, there’s not much going on with ReportingOn. For now. My Knight News Challenge-funded project to connect journalists on the same topical beat with their peers launched on October 1. I continued development work on it through the month…
