    Just a glance of the mockup I built tonight.* Click to enlarge… This might give you an idea of how I’ve been imagining (and diagramming in mindmaps/on napkins) the structure of the site. *(…in Coda, not Photoshop. HTML and CSS that I can build into a Drupal theme.)

    Journalism.co.uk asked six questions about ReportingOn. I answered them. “4) Why are you doing this? I saw a need to connect reporters to each other.

    I gave someone a bit more detail about my nascent ReportingOn concept via e-mail late last night. Talking these things out in public always helps, so here’s a fresh draft of what I’ve been mumbling about: This post was the beginning of the idea.

    Ideas bubbling to the surface on a sunny Saturday… Has Joe Weiss ever thought about building a hosted Soundslides service, where users could upload their publish-to-web folder and get a friendly piece of embed code spit back out at them?
