Yahoo News was most cited news source by
bl0gs in 2004. RSS a factor? 12/19/2004 03:44 PM
According to Intelliseek, Yahoo News was the most cited news source on blogs in 2004. Congrats to the Yahoo News team! I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that Yahoo News is very blog and aggregator friendly? They've been pumping out RSS feeds and allowing you to subscribe to a news search as RSS for a while now. I think there's a connection. I can't wait to see even more of Yahoo becoming blog and RSS...

Yahoo News Tracking Political Blogs

Yahoo News Tracking Political Blogs 08/30/2004 02:35 AM
Tip of the hat to The Unofficial Yahoo Weblog for pointing out the Election Blog Roundup on Yahoo News. While the page says one thing: Our goal is to aggregate a diverse selection of political blogs and let you sample a variety of opinions as election season heats up. It seems to do another. While it does provide a blogroll of sorts on the right side of the page, the main section is basically an aggregator devoted to showing the...

ABC News story on Cryptome.org

ABC News story on Cryptome.org 08/13/2004 12:42 PM
John Young's Cryptome-- an online repository for publicly available information -- has long been on my short list of essential 'Net bookmarks. The site archives "material on freedom of expression, privacy, cryptology, dual-use technologies, national security, intelligence, and secret governance -- open, secret and classified documents," among other things. This ABC News story details a recent incident in which Department of Homeland Security officials paid Young a visit, expressing concern about some of the content he'd posted online. It's not the first time he's been visited by federal authorities over that issue, and I'd wager it won't be the last.

Officials questioned Young about information he had posted about the 2004 Democratic National Convention, including satellite photos of the convention site and the location of specific police barricades referred to on the site as "a complete joke." In response to a complaint, two special agents from the FBI's counterterrorism office in New York City interviewed Young in November 2003. "They said, 'Why didn't you call us about this? Why are you telling the public?' And we said, 'Because it's out there and you can see it. You folks weren't doing anything,' " Young told ABC News.

The agents, according to Young, stressed they knew that nothing on the site was illegal. Young added: "They said, 'What we'd like you to do, if you're approached by anyone that you think intends to harm the United States, we're asking you to let us know that.' "

Australian developer David Watanabe has released version 0.5 of NewsFire, his RSS (Really Simple Syndication) reader that enables you to monitor news sites, blogs and other online publications that offer RSS feeds. The new version adds title and summary list styles and allows you to hide feeds as well as select smart feeds as a condition in other smart feeds. NewsFire supports the RSS and Atom feed formats and imports and exports OPML, the standard file format for news feeds. You can also import feeds from another newsreader. The software is still in Beta and is a free download; Watanabe plans on ultimately releasing it as shareware.

NYT, Fox News, others on bl0gs and

NYT, Fox News, others on bl0gs and
tsunami disaster 12/29/2004 08:31 PM
Xeni Jardin: John Schwartz wrote an insightful piece for the New York Times this week about the role blogs play in covering and responding to the tsunami disaster. I was interviewed for the piece, but the people who really have something interesting and valuable to say are the ones over there, on the ground -- and the folks rolling up their geek sleeves to assist.

From relaying first-person accounts (like Sanjay/Morquendi's SMS reports in Sri Lanka), to kick-starting relief efforts (tsunamihelp.blogspot.com, and the Post-Tsunami Reconnect project), to questioning media coverage ( Ethan Zuckerman's post about Myanmar), there's a lot going on here The amateur-shot image shown here ran in the NYT story. Snip:

"At sumankumar.com, Nanda Kishore, a contributor, offered photos and commentary from Chennai, India: 'Some drenched till their hips, some till their chest, some all over and some of them were so drenched that they had already stopped breathing. Men and women, old and young, all were running for lives. It was a horrible site to see. The relief workers could not attend to all the dead and all the alive. The dead were dropped and the half alive were carried to safety.' His postings included a photo of a body on a sidewalk with a buffalo walking by. 'It now seems prophetic," he wrote, "for according to the Hindu mythology, Lord Yama (the god of death) rides on a buffalo.'"

Fox News did a segment on this subject yesterday. I spoke with anchor Jon Scott about some of the blogosphere reports we've been pointing to from BoingBoing in recent days. Here are video clips of the Fox News segment: Real, Windows (Many thanks, Mike Outmesguine, for TiVoing and kindly hosting.)

There have been a number of related stories out in the past 24 hours in the Wall Street Journal (Link, sub required), Libération (France) (Link), the Inquirer (UK) (Link), and AP (Link) . (Thanks to BB readers including Jean-Luc for pointers).

A friend in Silicon Valley sent me this article on career choices for engineers in the U.S.

[If you're looking to transition out of coding you might consider opening a helicopter flight school in Edmonton.  The economy here is booming due to the high price of oil (Alberta actually has more petroleum reserves than Saudi Arabia but they require some work to extract, unlike in the Persian Gulf).  There is one CFI here with a Robinson R22.  He charges CAD$500 per hour!  The price in the U.S. is closer to USD$200 or only about half.]

AP - When Terri Schiavo collapsed 15 years ago, George H.W. Bush was in the White House and she was just an ordinary insurance company clerk who liked stuffed animals and romance novels, and was desperately trying to have children. By the time she died this past week, Bush's son was president, and she had become the central figure in a national debate on the right to die and on who gets to decide.
