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 third installment:
- An interesting take on why journalists love Twitter but hate blogging. I agree somewhat with the observation, but not so much with the explanation.
- A useful survey in which SEO experts reveal which tactics bring them the most success climbing the Google News rankings.
- A Twitter ghostwriter exacts revenge after being fired.
- Keep your writing tight and fresh by banishing these unnecessary journalism phrases.
- I’m not much of a gamer, but I like the sound of an action game where you’re a photojournalist rather than a commando.
- I really need to get around to exploring Google Hangouts. This is getting serious.
- A video about a rare and valuable mandolin, featuring North Vancouver’s John Reischman.
- A snapshot of Vancouver’s Yaletown before it was Yaletown.
- And finally, this Mario-style map of Vancouver rapid transit, just because it’s awesome.
