Here it is:

Never seen this kind of thing before, and it occurs to me it’s unbelievably smart in web terms. A video that’s quick enough to watch over a coffee. Enough stuff in it to harness debate. More than an attack ad, less than a documentary. The ideal attack-medium for a time-poor community that thinks it’s smarter than the average voter.

  • Information Overload: Information Overload is Filter Failure, Says Shirky
    Quote from Shirky's presentation: "If you have the same problem for a long time, maybe it’s not a problem. Maybe it’s a fact." As Clay says, it's from Yitzhak Rabin "and he would know."

    This is why newspaper journalists should have blogs. Having read this will inform everything I read from Brogan in future. He's a human now, not a byline. Great stuff.

  • Medill - Knight Foundation Scholarships
    "People who understand coding and journalism are in great demand now — at traditional media companies as well as startups. Media companies want people who can build better systems for news production and distribution. Newsrooms want journalists who can help figure out the best way to present data-driven stories on digital platforms. Startup companies want developers who understand how people use and consume information. And there are endless opportunities to create new digital products that engage audiences with information they need to be citizens."

    Is that makes Peston so alarmingly uncomfortable on TV also what makes him such a great blogger? Random informed verbosity - the hallmark of the ace blogger.

    "For the past year or so, I have been working with three universities on a study of the online behaviours of listeners and fans of BBC radio and over the rest of this week, we're going to be publishing guest posts from each of the researchers on their case studies: interactivity on the BBC Radio messageboards, the off-BBC activity of fans of Terry Wogan, fan cultures around the Archers and how the BBC serves specialist music fans."

  • Has NBC Figured Out Web Video? Sarah Palin/Tina Fey A Hit On NBC.com, Hulu, Not YouTube
    "At least as important: You can't find the clips on YouTube. As of late Monday afternoon, YouTube offered plenty of clips of Tina Fey's first turn as Palin, which ran three weeks ago. But if you wanted to see this weekend's sketch you were out of luck: You could only find small snippets, or stories about the sketch, or spam masquerading as the sketch. We don't know if that's because NBC is spending a lot of time sending takedown notices to YouTube, or if YouTube is being extra vigilant about filter. But it's certainly not a conincidence."
