At present, we are close to wrapping up development on the four elements that constitute our basic offering. First, we now have a real-time stream of content, which includes database scrapes of selected public records, RSS feeds of news sources and blogs, tweets, Flickr and Picasa photos, YouTube videos, and placeholder advertisements. Second, we have a working stream engine that pushes content to web-enabled smartphones and our web widget. Third, we have a real-time filter that enables the end user to filter the stream for items that contain specific words or text strings. Fourth, we’ve built a web-based dashboard that newspaper advertising staffs can use to manage and analyze ads and ad campaigns.

Daniel said: The incubator concept synthesizes a few ideas: a physical co-working space specifically for reporters who want to work someplace other than their home offices some or all of the time, a group that could barter editorial services – my copyediting for your videography or Ruby on Rails development, and a loosely affiliated group of journalists and bloggers, each with their own specialty or beat that would run their respective websites, blogs, email newsletters or other publications.

Daniel said: Bill identifies the most important part of We Make The Media: the foundations of a community. Quote:
The digital element of the conference felt like an afterthought, and it's rather astounding that an effort largely inspired by nonprofit journalism endeavors in Minnesota and San Diego, Web-only endeavors, did not have online elements that didn't feel like afterthoughts.

Daniel said: According to Abraham, it was obvious that Saturday's conference failed to address two things: diversity and technology. In both cases, "the cavernous gap between those two mindsets created an us-vs.-them mentality that drove some of the Twitter crowd into a frenzy."
