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?

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

Quote: Here's another parallel to learning to speak Chinese. You will make dumb mistakes. You will break things. You will spend days hunting for the one misplaced comma that turns your beautiful application into an ugly stack trace. Added: January 27, 2010 at 7:14AM EST
