From my del.icio.us account — I’m “mathewi” if you want to add me to your network. Or tag something “for:mathewi” if you want me to see it.
- Steve Rubel has a post I meant to write about “reinventing the media interview,” using Mark Cuban (who likes to post the email transcripts of interviews with journalists to correct the record) and Dave Winer (who posted on the topic recently) as examples.
- A writer at the New York Times gets a letter from the mother of “FunTwo” — the 12-year-old guitar-playing prodigy whose electric version of Pachelbel’s Canon on YouTube has to be seen to be believed, and has been diownloaded about 7 million times.
- Supr.cilio.us has a great survey of “what Web 2.0 means” that includes some hilarious responses, including one that says it means “life inside the static” (not quite sure what that is supposed to mean, but it sounds great).
- Through Lisa Williams at the great local Watertown blog H20Town, I came across the first post by Watertown resident Michael Megna, who has cerebral palsy and spent 16 years at an institution for the mentally handicapped because he was thought to be retarded. Like Lisa, I think this is one of the most amazing first posts I have ever read.
- CNet has an interview from behind bars with Josh Wolf, the video-blogger who was jailed for refusing to turn over footage that he filmed of a protest that authorities are interested in. He is getting support from (among others) Judith Miller of the New York Times, who was jailed for refusing to identify a source.
