I hadn't heard about Google Shared Stuff til the other day and when I went there, I saw a link from you and Rubel for some reason. I then added my own page. Not sure about the ukraine thing...

Re: Hyperlocal Websites will Boom in 2009 as Community Newspapers Fold

I've been running a few for almost four years now. One has REALLY taken off

http://www.andersonfreepress.net

We have a very active community of posters. Since the newspaper closed their public forums on new years eve, I've seen yet another wave of disgruntled citizens coming to my site.

2009 IS the year...

Oh yeah, I've done 4 print tabloid issues as well - direct mailed to around 80,000 people. I'm deciding whether or not to continue with that, though. With no start-up money, it's been hard doing everything on my own. I really, really need a good salesperson...

I've also kinda been following this Nikon D80 campaign with more than a little interest. ;)

Re: Google News Norway removes thumbnails

Heh. As a small, independent new media publisher, I was *more than* happy that Google News picked up my site (and that they include my pics as thumbnails...) They're doing a lot better job, imho, than the Newspaper owned Topix.net.

Re: It’s Not Citizen Journalism Or Crowdsourcing – It’s Just Journalism

I do think there's a difference, though, in the ways people are approaching this 'new new journalism.' (Darn you Wolfe for calling it that too early. Heh.)

I like to call what I do 'grassroots journalism.' Makes more sense to me and better describes what I'm doing - a bottom-up, horizontal, people powered approach.

Re: Web 2.0 Inefficiency: Crossposting On Twitter, Facebook, Google Reader, Etc.

Definitely a problem when you're 'too nice' to someone and offend them. Someone brought that up today in the newsroom - story about a satellite company repeatedly calling him on his cellphone to see how he liked his service. After he told them to stop calling. Trying to do 'good customer service' actually hurt the company. I think sometimes each site should have it's own post - because I for one use different social media sites for different things.

Depends also, I guess, on whether or not you're into 'SMM' (social media marketing...) Why TIME booted MySpace to their 'uncool' list I hear...

Sorry to hear that. (I guess I'm a little late.)

Been working on my own project - for over two years now - with no funding.
