Paul Balcerak reverses the information stream, and instead of asking readers for photos, or feeding them unfiltered breaking news, he asks them a simple question: What do you need to know right now?
Quote: Our newsrooms were obviously already covering the storm. And I had asked for photo submissions because they help tell a story. But I figured there had to be people out there living the story who were thinking, “Yeah, great, a tree that broke in half. But I can look out my window and see that and I’ve got an online test in 40 minutes, so where can I find a power outlet and free WiFi?” Added: March 18, 2010 at 11:55AM EDT

Good, quick notes from a wide range of online news folks who braved the crowds and played panel roulette at SXSW in Austin last week.
Quote: Every time slot at South by Southwest is filled with several intriguing panels and presentations, so I missed more than I saw. But I can rely on the many journalists there among the game designers, developers, entrepreneurs, filmmakers and Web hipsters. Added: March 18, 2010 at 11:48AM EDT

Sunlight Labs announces a data visualization contest, including judges like Nicholas Felton, Nathan Yau, and Charles Blow.
Quote: It's a contest as much about possibility as transparency, and with categories ranging from infographics to web design, there's plenty for all to compete in. Each category has a $5,000 prize associated with it now, and as we gain sponsors for each category, we'll be increasing the prizes associated as sponsorship allows.

If you're looking to wrap your head around the concept of 'linked data' on the Web, this list by Martin Moore is a good starting point. Follow the links, and you'll find a few different explainer threads.
Quote: There is an ever growing mountain of information on the Net that never gets updated. There are pages devoted to soccer teams whose last score was added in 2006. Or topic pages about political issues that haven't seen a new story in months. But if those pages were filled with linked data, and linked to others that were too, they'd be automatically updated -- rising from the dead like Frankenstein without you having to do diddly squat.
