Despite the title, this is actually a good list of rules to abide by if you're using Foursquare.

Google Buzz's...buzz seems to have overshadowed Google Wave. And Buzz does a lot of the same stuff Wave does anyway. It seems that Google's products are competing against each other and Google seems fine with that.

Measures sentiment (positive/negative) for terms you search based on other words in the Tweet. Imperfect, but interesting and possibly useful.

I was really psyched when Reuters came out as the anti-AP (with regard to linking), but they seem to be contradicting that spirit with this new Twitter policy.

If you tie yourself to a medium—print, a blog, whatever—you sacrifice your ability to be everywhere as an information broker.
Quote: It might be time for news organizations to reconsider how they define themselves. If they choose to define themselves by their publishing platforms, emerging platforms are likely to be perceived as threats to their business. But if they define themselves by the content they produce, new platforms can easily be identified as new opportunities. Added: March 15, 2010 at 3:49PM EDT

A dissection of Fox News finds that ""whatever it is that dominates cable news, it is largely not journalism." No way.

- NEW YORK CITY LAW DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES PUBLICATION OF PROPOSED NEW RULES FOR PRESS PASSES THAT INCORPORATE ONLINE MEDIA
- The New York Press Club

Paul said:
Emphasizes how often a reporter covers restricted events, not what kind of media organization they're with. Worth a read.
Quote: Under the proposed new rules published today, to obtain a press credential, an applicant must show that he or she has covered, in person, six news events where the City has restricted access, within the two-year period preceding the application. In addition to employees of traditional news gathering organizations, the new rules cover self-employed newspersons and other individuals who gather and report the news. The new press card will be issued every two years. Added: March 4, 2010 at 5:24PM EST

The Nationals beat writer was laid off by the Washington Post, so what's he do? Starts up his own blog, which blows up and gets $5,000 in donations for coverage.
