Thanks to Poynter, and Some Notes
Thanks to everyone who stopped by today’s Poynter chat about Tumblr for journalists (and more thanks to Mallary and Joe for having me!)

Lucy Kafanov is a journalist for RT (previously known as Russia Today) and she’s not sold on Tumblr? She’s a must-follow on Twitter if you’re interested in Occupy Wall Street. Make your pitch, Coatney.

lessig:
Twenty-seven months ago, I announced the hibernation of my blog. It is with deep deep embarrassment that I confess that for about the last 24 of those 27 months, I have been trying to find a way back. The latest of these efforts has again failed, but I am not going to wait any more. I want a…
Attention, Tumblr. Lawrence Lessig is now on Tumblr. Begin reblogging on my command.

I Believe In The Internet - The Content Industry...
bradburnham:
I have always believed that the entertainment industry’s effort to stop piracy by asking search engines and ISPs to make it more difficult for their users to find pirate sites was the wrong way to solve the problem, but it could never put my finger on why I felt so strongly about it.

This was so, so good; watch it again.
