Every weekend I round up a few links that caught my interest as they drifted past during the previous week. Many are related to digital journalism and writing, but they may also touch on my other interests like sports, music or life in Vancouver. Here’s the second installment:
- Steve Buttry puts together the ultimate list of Twitter resources for journalists.
- Why do we focus so much on social media in our newsroom, sometimes at the expense of conventional SEO tactics? Because social sharing’s effect on search results is growing, and we believe it’s a trend that is barely getting started.
- Lauren Rabaino breaks down the Boston Globe’s new paywall site — and likes it a lot.
- If there were a Super Bowl of social media, the New York Jets would be the champions.
- The great Chris Jones talks to former NHL enforcer Stu Grimson about the recent deaths of his brethren.
- What it’s like to be a full-time movie extra.
- Shaw will enable its customers to access WiFi while out and about in Vancouver by next spring.
- And for other parents out there, two interesting posts about raising kids in the digital world, from Soren Gordhamer and Alexandra Samuel.
