Links for October 28th through October 29th:

• PC World - 8 Ways Twitter Will Change Your Life - "I figured if the candidate wasn't on Twitter, they most likely weren't right for the job." When I get a job partly due to having a Twitter account, I will eat my shoe.
• Stuff journalists like - Comic relief that tries to (cheaply) ride on the coattails of Stuff White People Like.
• Christian Science Monitor to drop weekday print edition - Romenesko - It's notable when a big name moves to web-only. Wouldn't be surprised to see more of this coming.

Feed me, Internets.

I’m not shy about adding feeds to Google Reader. I’ve got 79, which is neither astronomical nor shabby. But today I noticed that I regularly turn to a mere handful for reliably good dirt on online journalism, social media, multimedia, etc. I can always expect solid links, instruction, inspiration and news about the news from:

• Teaching Online Journalism
• 10,000 Words
• Journerdism
• Cyberjournalist
• Romanesko

Now that I’m making better use of Delicious and try to feed it with a bunch of great finds pertaining to online journalism every day, this just isn’t enough.

Queue 10,000 Words, which recently had a great post on the 20 Essential Feeds for Multimedia Journalists.

Got any more essentials that 10,000 Words didn’t mention? Spill ‘em here.

Links for October 27th from 23:27 to 23:43:

• How to Use FriendFeed as a News Ticker | New Media Bytes | Online journalism, web production and promotion - This kind of intrigues me. For this ticker to convey much information, I'm going to need to follow more people on FriendFeed. Goodbye Twitterific?
• Time to move on… « Mastering Multimedia - Among the many ringers to the head brought by the recent S-R layoffs, the effect on Colin's video-expansion efforts was a painful punch to the kidneys. I know he'll master his photo/video juggling act yet.
• Teaching Online Journalism » Reassessing newspaper video - What's up with newspapers and video these days? "What is still frigging hard about all this — a news Web site today is not the buffet table that a printed newspaper used to be. I am not browsing around randomly on your Web site, happening upon your loveliest desserts or videos as I peruse the latest miserable financial news."
  Damn, that's a good point.

Links for October 26th through October 27th:

• Blogs are so over, Wired magazine says — mathewingram.com/work - In answer to Paul Boutin. "Is everyone going to have a blog? No — and they never were. Facebook and Twitter are probably enough for many people. Not writing at all is enough for many people. But why does it have to be all or nothing?"
• Twitter, Flickr, Facebook Make Blogs Look So 2004 - "Thinking about launching your own blog? Here's some friendly advice: Don't. And if you've already got one, pull the plug."
• Video Journal: Green Bluff grape harvest - This one goes out to Thuy. "Stephanie and Davide Trezzi have been growing wine grapes for three years. This year, they're passing a total of five tons of barbera and dolcetto to winemaker Don Townshend, making it the first time a Green Bluff wine will be made exclusively from Green Bluff grapes."

I’m back from a short trip to Portland and Seattle, and I’ve got a few more days off to play around with this site.

Two immediate changes:

1. I’ve created a portfolio page, which you can access via that nav links above or by clicking here.
2. I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.6 after ignoring the prompts for several weeks. I’m happy to report it was quick and painless.

I’ll be back with a real post soon.
