Tracking the newsroom bug-tracking idea

Tracking the newsroom bug-tracking idea 02/01/2005 09:42 PM
I want to return to the idea I floated a few days ago about bug-trackin g software for newsrooms. The comment s response ranged from "neat idea!" to "it'll never work," so let's look it over again.

What I imagined was something similar to the way open-source software development projects manage bug reports. When people file bugs against such a project, they go to a publicly available online resource and enter a form that says "Here's a problem I encountered," and provide details. Different projects follow different organizational structures, but generally speaking, other developers will review the bug and try to classify it: Sometimes they'll say it's a duplicate and point to previous entries in the database that dealt with it; sometimes they'll say it's a simple problem and go fix it right away and close it out; sometimes they'll say it's a big one and leave it open to be dealt with in the future; sometimes they'll say it's a "known bug" that for one reason or another is never going to be fixed; sometimes they'll say it's not a bug at all.

For a newsroom, the idea is to provide a structure and a channel for reader dissatisfaction. You wouldn't have to follow the software model detail for detail, but the general outline could be valuable: Provide a form for readers to enter complaints, one that requires them to present details. Post the complaint publicly as soon as it's entered, and record the publication's response in a reasonably prompt fashion -- anything from "Thanks, we fixed the spelling on that name" to "we chose the phrase 'private accounts' because it is an accurate description of the president's proposal, and the label was in wide use by supporters of the idea until very recently, so we do not plan to stop using the term." The explanation is on record, and if other readers keep filing the same complaint they can simply be pointed back to the original answer. Spam? Just delete it. Letters to the editor that don't have a specific complaint? Re-route them to the letters box.

The most common objection seems to be, forget it -- this will become another free-for-all for political partisans to work out their agendas, another wide-open Internet forum that will degenerate into circular debate. Such forums already exist, to be sure; the point of a bug tracker is to avoid that outcome by choosing a narrower environment for the feedback that allows you to quickly aggregate and dispose of duplicate complaints, and that provides a public record of responsiveness and accountability. If 500 people all holler that you shouldn't say "private accounts," you can answer them once and be done with it -- but you can point each individual complaint back to your explanation, so those people understand that you actually heard them and offered some sort of response. There's a big difference between the silence of no response and "no, we're not doing that, here's why." The latter won't satisfy everyone, but it at least acknowledges that there's been an exchange on the subject.

Ross Karchner proposed a somewhat different model based on wiki practices: "1) A publically viewable changelog, where you can see, in detail, the changes made to an article. 2) A place where the author(s) and editor(s) can discuss the changes needed and made. This is also in public view..." I'm not sure whether Ross means the changelog and the writer/editor dialogue to commence from the first time the writer composed a draft, or only upon publication. The former is, I think, too wide open -- even a blogger has the right to compose a posting and revise it in private before choosing to push the "publish" button. The latter is fine -- but since most reputable publications rarely change articles once they're published, and note the changes as corrections if they do, then it's just codifying an existing practice in slightly different ways.

As for the idea of trying all this out at Salon: Who knows, I might well advocate it, though my current on-leave status doesn't put me in a good spot to work on it. But Salon has been dealing with the back-and-forth of online criticism of our work for 9 years plus. Whatever problems we may suffer from, a failure of responsiveness to online feedback is not, I think, one of them, and we have a pretty sturdy process for reviewing complaints fast and correcting them where needed.

I think this approach would pay off best for a newsroom that is having difficulty convincing readers that the publication is actually listening to them. If you showed the public that you were recording and responding to the issues they raised -- whether you end up publishing a correction or simply saying, "We don't think that needs correcting, and here's why" -- I think you'd start to bank some confidence and trust pretty quickly.

I'm not suggesting that this idea is the single, one-fix-solves-all-problems answer to the ills of journalism today. It's a pragmatic, you-could-do-it-real-soon suggestion for beginning to deal with professional journalism's biggest problem: the public's loss of trust, which begins with the sense that media companies are big institutions that pay no attention to their own mistakes.

Thinking About A Google IPO

Thinking About A Google IPO 04/13/2004 01:51 AM
James Cramer has written up a great column summarizing many of the points (much more concisely) that I've been trying to make to people who ask me about the potential of a Google IPO. The company is (despite it's incredibly secretive nature) clearly doing quite well and is probably a worthwhile investment - if and only if you can get it at the initial offering price - which is unlikely to happen. As Cramer points out, the demand for Google stock is much larger than any other IPO. Everyone seems to want in on this deal, partly due to the Google phenomenon, and partly due to the lack of big time IPOs in years. This explains how people who should know better were conned into buying non-existent shares in the company. It also sets up the perfect environment for flippers. The big time institutional investors are going to get first crack at the shares (at the price the bankers set the IPO at), and will quickly try to flip the stock on the open market, where people who don't know any better will snap up the shares at two, three or even more times its initial public offering price. What Cramer leaves out, of course, is that plenty of people who simply don't understand investing will think it's a good thing that the stock jumps up so much on its first day of trading when all it really means is that (a) the company left money on the table and (b) there are a lot of silly investors out there who don't understand how to value a stock.

Thinking local

Thinking local 08/15/2004 09:21 PM

I'm sitting here in Gramd Haven, MI - thinking abotu how cyberspace needs ot hit meatspace. MeetUp does it well and so does Dodgeball, but when I hear about new services like StepUp.com - I get real excited.

The UPS store is across the street - and I stopped by and asked them about AuctionDrop.com. They hadn't heard of it - yet. But they liked the idea.

As John Battelle says:

I thought it'd be really cool if we started a website where local merchants could list their wares, so folks could check to see if a local business had what they were looking for before going down to the store. We decided against the business, but I've remained fascinated by this concept. It just seems to make sense, that at some point you will be able to check into the inventory of your local stores to see if what you want is there, and even reserve it or have it delivered to you.

John's talking about a real-world solution who's day has come.....

But I gotta wonder if subjects like this will get discussed at the upcoming Web 2.0 conference. Judging by the list of speakers - I doubt it. It's just more of the same - sort of like the BlogOn conference.

It was ludicrous - Yahoo, AOL and CNet telling us about teh future. Give me a break!

Sure - Cory will get up and holler aboput [insert complaint du jour] and Danger Mouse will hopefully keep it real - but I just gotta wonder what John Doerr has to say - for the upteenth time. Or Mary Meeker. Sounds exicting.

Anyway I'm sure the folks putting on Web 2.0 have the best intentions, and they certainly got the buzzword du jour - by the horns.

But without cutting edge entrepreneurs taking risks, what's the point? And I don't mean T'rati, 6A or Craigslist. They've had their day in the sun.

How 'bout a panel with developers who are broke, have kickass services and products and need funding? What a concept.

But anyway - back to local services. The FEDEX and UPS stores solved integration and aggregation issues for humans - for packaging and shipping. The merger with Kinkos was brilliant for FEDEX. Kinkos has been solving the copying/printing activity for humans for years.

Software needs to solve real world problems and wrap it into 'activity based' solutions. By combining eVite functionality, with WinAmp, Guestbook and Blogging features - coolio integrated parties could be born - spontaneously. Sounds like a meatpsace solutionf or Dodgeball.

:-)

So, should Linux users brush off concerns about malware plagues? Short answer: No.”

Two new articles on big thinkers have turned up. First is an Investor's Business Daily article on Alan Turing's life and imagination. It covers some of the historical aspects of his life as well as touching on cryptography, artificial intelligence, robotics, and brain-mind metaphysics. The summary of Turing's life also conveniently leaves out the more controversial bits and the cause of his death. For a more complete look at Turing's life, see the Wikipedia article. A more recent thinker on similar problems, Ray Kurzweil, is intereviewed by DevSource. Kruzweil discusses reverse-engineering the brain, embedded intelligence, and even has a comment or two about synthesizers.

Old wireless thinking 02/19/2004 10:00 AM
This Washington Post story about new wireless services is a great example of old telecom thinking.  Everything depends on the carriers, and when they upgrade their networks.  WiFi hotspots and other forms of unlicensed connectivity remove that bottleneck -- along with the additional charges the carriers want to load on for the whizbang new services.  That's why incorporating WiFi (and ultimately software radios) into mobile handsets is such a significant development.
