Dwight Silverman tries out a worrisome Chatroulette mashup that maps users and an image from their webcam. Yikes.
Quote: Of course, not everyone you see on the map is so pleasant. The same pervs who pop up on Chatroulette may also appear here . . . complete with an approximate location. Added: March 11, 2010 at 12:26PM EST

Matt Thompson draws a bright line between the episodic distribution of information as it stands today, and emerging methods to put those episodes in context.
Quote: Faced with a flood of headlines on an ever-increasing variety of topics, we shut off. We turn to news that doesn't require much understanding - crime, traffic, weather - or we turn off the news altogether. Added: March 11, 2010 at 8:32AM EST

This is just Part 1 of Mark Luckie's series about turning his running catalog of lists, tutorials, and commentary into a real live book you can pick up at Amazon. Mark's process has always been an open dialogue with the online journalism community, and these posts continue it.
Quote: When I began writing the book, I thought it would be easy to just take my blog and magically transform it into a book, but I can tell you that there is so much work that goes into creating a project of this magnitude. Blogging gives a writer freedom to write in whatever style they want, with little connection from one post to the other. A book, however, must have a flow and each paragraph, section, and chapter must connect to the next. Added: March 10, 2010 at 5:52PM EST

Malcolm Coles follows the instructions in the Royal Mail's TOS on the long road to linking to their FAQ.
