Posted on April 1, 2007 by Melissa Worden
>> Gmail paper — from your inbox to your doorstep.
“Everyone loves Gmail. But not everyone loves email, or the digital era. What ever happened to stamps, filing cabinets, and the mailman? Well, you asked for it, and it’s here. We’re bringing it back.”
>> Howard Owens explains what journalists need to be entrepreneurial. This is a print-it-out-and-tape-it-to-your-desk post. Thanks, Howard.
(His post is in response to Mindy McAdam’s outline of “What do we mean by entrepreneurial?“, another good read.)
>> Cory Bergman at LostRemote wonders about the potential of local TV sites and user-generated video
“I’m beginning to believe that the only reason people would submit video to a TV site would be to see it on TV. And perhaps that’s even losing a bit of its luster these days because the people who submit the most video are the people who watch the least TV.”
>> Meranda Watling’s reaction to the AJR’s “Caught in Contradiction.”
“I just think we’re dealing with a finicky generation that demands what it wants, when it wants, how it wants and where it wants it. That’s how we’ve been raised and what we’ve been conditioned to expect.”
>> Scott Anderson thinks the facts speak for themselves when newspaper editors are asked to list their favorite Web sites (only one mentioned their own newspaper Web site).
>> Washingtonpost.com creative director Paul Compton chats with readers about the site’s redesign.
>> JibJab’s “What we call the news.” (link via Doug Fisher)
