How do you use Twitter? An archivist explains how she uses Twitter | Gina Chen, Save The Media, 22/10/09
I’m starting a new feature here at Save the Media, called “What the heck do you do on Twitter.” It’s an occasional feature, which in journalism-speak means I’ll do it when I have a chance. The idea is to showcase a variety of people who are using Twitter in creative ways. My emphasis, of course, is on how people use Twitter for journalism, but I want to highlight all types of applications. Hopefully, it will be a place we can all learn.
Newspapers: Less Liked Than Airlines? (Jon Fine, FineOnMedia, Businesssweek.com, 19/5/09)
I posted here on Friday about a shred of good news for newspaper companies. Consumers appear to be willing to pay for their papers—that is, the paper version of the newspaper.

Each quarter it surveys consumers to come up with what they call a “satisfaction index” by assigning scores to key business sectors, and in many cases companies within these sectors, on a scale of 1 to 100.
A guide to the 100 best blogs - part I (Bryan Appleyard, The Sunday Times, Londres, 15/2/09)
Blogs — an ugly word, but now unavoidable — were born with the internet. As soon as people started to use the technology that would link computers, they started leaving messages. In the 1980s, these were “pinned” on virtual “bulletin boards”. Then, in the early 1990s, online diaries appeared, personal journals to be seen by the entire online world. As internet use spread, people were dazzled by their power to connect and communicate. But they didn’t just want to stare at pages. They wanted, above all, to make their mark on the explosively expanding world of cyberspace. So, in the mid-1990s, the online diary became the web log, or blog.
