Maybe not the first, but it becomes an interesting question. How long do you leave the correction on the page? How and where do you archive corrections that relate to databases? Is it worth having some sort of microblog -- or at least a blog category -- for every app to cover notes like this?

The Capital Weather Gang provides background and context for this weekend's ridiculously massive winter storm in the DC area, explaining their forecast, their method, and the outcome. Plus, the obligatory satellite photo of the damage.
Quote: Like most big storms around here, Snowmageddon arrived with only a brief period of lighter snows before it quickly started piling up. Unlike many storms in these parts, it began producing multi-hour snowfall rates of up to 2-3" per hour prior to midnight on the 5th. These continual super bands ejecting north around the strengthening low pressure off the coast contained whiteout conditions and instances of thundersnow, both typically associated with the most powerful winter storms on the East Coast.

This book is a data-focused remix of "Think Python: How to Think like a Computer Scientist," the book Adrian Holovaty often recommends to journalists who want to get started with Django.
Quote: Chuck Severance, clinical professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Information, recently published a new textbook in 11 days because he was able to remix an existing textbook. Added: February 5, 2010 at 12:16PM EST

A great explanation of how comments work on Gawker blogs, powered by karma, Facebook Connect, and heavy moderation of new commenters before they're set free on threads.
Quote: There are three levels of commenters: Unapproved, Approved and Starred. You basically have to audition for the right to comment, by leaving a smart blurb—if it's good, you'll get approved by an editor, one of our moderators, or a starred commenter, and then people can see your comment.

As I read this sordid tale of a mild, attention-seeking con that roped in a few journalists, I can't help but notice that the only people who smelled something fishy were Wikipedians.
Quote: What brought Roberts down was one of the tools he used to hoist himself up, Wikipedia, on which he posted no fewer than five fake entries: for himself, for his fake line of Rothschild family members and for one of his fake companies, Rothschild Estates. His antics caught the attention of the Wikipedia Review after editors kept deleting the fake entries and Roberts kept trying to resurrect them. Added: February 1, 2010 at 11:21PM EST

A primer including the origins of crucial one-liners by Dave Winer, Dan Gillmor, Jay Rosen, Clay Shirky, and a few more.
Quote: When I dove into the future-of-journalism world, I quickly found that a few of these phrases function as shorthand for big, fundamental ideas. They often get traded without explanation and sometimes without links, leaving the uninitiated pretty confused and possibly a little turned off, too. Added: January 30, 2010 at 12:16PM EST

Chris Amico's background and debriefing on Newshour's State of the Union application, which added analysis and video to a transcript of the President's speech as he presented it.
Quote: On the editorial side, the app hits a NewsHour sweet spot: The show's core competency is finding interesting people to talk about interesting things. The broadcast loves nothing more than three wonkish experts sitting around a table going back and forth on an issue for 15 minutes. We wanted to bring that kind of analysis to the State of the Union in a granular in and compelling way. Added: January 29, 2010 at 10:17AM EST
