Obligatory links post during finals

As you can tell, my posting has become very light as I head into the home stretch of my collegiate career.  However there are a few bits of info that I have been meaning to blog about:

  • The Philadelphia Inquirer has become using Twitter.   They are doing more than just regurgitating headlines, but *gasp* actually responding to followers.  Although this may be labor intensive I think they are doing it right.  Follow them at: http://twitter.com/PhillyInquirer.  Follow me at http://twitter.com/blandanomics
  • 37 signals has released a case study about a small Chicago volunteer news organization using Basecamp for collaboration.  Stories like this make me think that newspapers are too bloated.
  • Mr Greg Linch, does a great job at musing over the equipment options for a newspaper.

Good luck to all of you students out there!
