Citizen journalism, other subjects — notes for the day
“We need better ways to track discussion threads from the blogs” sez Dan Gillmor in a 2005 report on Blogging, Journalism, and Credibility. Which is still true. No way people will keep up with everything it’s a pull technology. Email updates may help (Alan does it well, for ex., at http://thinknola.com/posts/gis)
From the same report:
Carvin uses a service, Audlink.com, to record from his mobile phone directly onto the web. It doesn’t automatically create enclosures or an RSS feed, so the podcast is not automatic, but it’s a useful too. He also uses a tool called audioblogger.com which enables the blogger to ‘call in’ to their blog and post audio files directly on it.
That was 2005; both have failed. http://www.audioblogger.com is an Apache hello page. Livejournal does http://www.livejournal.com/voicepost/
What is Berkman doing to help with the Digital Divide? Not clear. OLPC? Complaining about the situation? (C Nesson is doing something in Jamaica)
