Digging Deeper::Public Documents + Shoe Leather Reporting = The Smoking Gun's Staying Power
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:25:43 PDT
In a world of social network widgets, videoblogs and Web 2.0 gewgaws, sometimes it’s the simple things that work best. That’s the lesson of Web 1.0 startup The Smoking Gun, a simply designed site that relies on public documents and criminal mugshots to bring in boatloads of traffic. If a prominent politician or celebrity has run afoul of the law, chances are good that The Smoking Gun will have a mugshot, lawsuit brief or other document to provide the gory details.

In New Albany, Indiana, (just across the river from Louisville) today, Obama made clear that he's moved on to the general election. U.S. Sen. Barack Obama told a cheering crowd at Indiana University Southeast today that the Democratic Party will be unified - whichever candidate is ultimately successful - in its effort to defeat the Republican presumptive nom

Happy Birthday, IMG info]]ratphooey! So glad you're in the embrace of your family today. May there be cake as well as personal serenades! In other news, I finished another book last night.

(Three stars: I liked it enough to read more by the same author)
How to get your antennae up
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:26:45 PDT
A while ago, I said that once witnesses can share what they see live to the world from wherever they are, one of the great challenges for news organizations will be finding this stuff as it happens. The challenge, I said, is keeping our antennae up. Robin Hamman has been trying to answer the challenge with a Yahoo Pipes demo that looks for newsy keywords — e.g., explosion, evacuation — across many (pardon me) user-generated-content services (Flickr, Twitter, et al). Very clever. It doesn’t wo

This Won’t Be Controversial: Jesus As the Product of Rape By kyle | April 23, 2008 Speaking of Fox News, they’re running a story that “Basic Instinct” director Paul Verhoeven is about to publish a book in which he’ll claim that Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, was the result of a rape committed by a Roman soldier. The story seems a bit iffy on sourcing, though bait-takin’ Bill Donahue has already chimed in with some outrage. (Wouldn’t dignified silence be the best response?) Topics: Books,
