Ryan said: Paul Gillin's notes on how he followed the Chile earthquake and tsunami via Twitter and a wide distribution of curators. Quote:
No longer is our problem lack of information; it's that we're drowning in information. That's why curation is so important. Trusted curators who point us to the most valuable sources of information for our interests will become the new power brokers.Added: March 4, 2010 at 9:23AM EST
Ryan said: PBS NewsHour uses Publish2 to round up "reactions in the blogosphere and around the world" to news of U.S. President Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize win. Quote:
"President Barack Obama woke up Friday to the news that he'd won the Nobel Peace Prize just nine months into his presidency. He wasn't the only one surprised."Added: October 9, 2009 at 3:26PM EDT
Ryan said: How do you cover a midnight state government shutdown at a student newspaper? You link. And then you link some more. Brian Manzullo has the traffic to prove it works. Quote:
"Every update from here on out would be simply aggregation from the Detroit Free Press and other sources. I updated with the consequences of the shutdown, the latest developments, little details and, most importantly, more links."Added: October 8, 2009 at 4:50PM EDT

Ryan said: Chris Aheam, President of Media at Thomson Reuters says: "I don’t believe you could or should charge others for simply linking to your content. Appropriate excerpting and referencing are not only acceptable, but encouraged. If someone wants to create a business on the back of others’ original content, the parties should have a business relationship that benefits both." Added: August 6, 2009 at 9:56AM EDT
Ryan said: Gotta love Jay's lead-ins to links. I might have steal this line: "Curating the cascade stands apart from filling the news hole." Of course, I'd take issue with that. Curating the cascade is a critical way to fill the news hole if what you're after is 100% coverage. Added: July 30, 2009 at 4:04PM EDT
Ryan said: David Weinberger extends his "X is the new Y" cliché into something much more meaningful. My favorite bit: "We thought that that was how knowledge works, but it turns out that it’s really just how paper works. Transparency prospers in a linked medium, for you can literally see the connections between the final draft’s claims and the ideas that informed it. Paper, on the other hand, sucks at links."
