Huffington Post Doubles Down on Social Media: Tech News and Analysis « The Huffington Post gets a lot of criticism for the way it runs its digital content business, including its “crowdsourcing” of free content, which has led to a class-action lawsuit by a number of bloggers who now want to be paid in the wake of the site’s $315-million acquisition by AOL. But if there’s one thing that The Huffington Post has consistently done better than just about any other traditional or new-media entity, it is to take advantage of social media tools in order to boost its reach and engage with readers in new ways, and the site has just rolled out some new features that take that effort to a new level. In a nutshell, the new features — which have been in beta testing for the past week or two, but were officially announced on Tuesday in a blog post by Huffington Post social-media editor Rob Fishman — allow users to “fan,” “like” and “follow” individual reporters and bloggers for the site, both on the site itself and via Twitter and Facebook.

Mashable Follow: A Step Towards Community Powered News | Social Commerce News. By: Max Buxbaum With more and more content overloading Mashable’s site, they created Mashable Follow, a new “social layer” that creates a “custom tailored experience” for users. Here are four features that make this new social tool worth using. Profile Pages: Mashable Follow allows users to create a personalized account simply through a Facebook or Twitter login. This new feature allows users to connect and interact with community members with similar interests, as well as post links to other social media accounts. Follow Topics: This new format allows users to easily select which topics they are interested.

Sharing: Spreading content has never been as effortless. Badges: This fun system rewards users for “ sharing stories, connecting with other Mashable users, commenting on articles, following topics and more .” These new features place Mashable in transition between a news and social networking site.

Huffington Post Does a Foursquare, Offers Readers Badges for Good Behavior: Tech News and Analysis « CJ Chivers (cjchivers) Twitter Feed Evolves Into a News Wire About Egypt. While people debated whether Web sites like Twitter were important in organizing protests in Tunisia and Egypt, Andy Carvin was organizing information about the protests in an innovative way.

Andy Carvin of NPR used Twitter as a news wire about Egypt. Mr. Carvin’s Twitter account was transformed into a personal news wire about Egypt and was widely praised in news media circles. By seeking out the voices of sources in Egypt and sharing them almost in real time on a social networking site, he “provided a hint of what news can look like in an increasingly networked media environment,” the Nieman Journalism Lab wrote in a blog post on Friday.

For people who wanted to take the minute-by-minute pulse of a protest, Mr. Carvin’s account was a suitable starting point. His day job is at NPR, where he is a senior strategist who specializes in digital media. When attention turned to Egypt, he decided to use Twitter to the same effect. Rob Fishman: Follow Topics, Bloggers and Reporters: A New HuffPost Feature. These days, even the most diligent newsreader can have trouble keeping up. Between newspapers, blogs, apps, RSS, Twitter and Facebook, the options can seem endless. And yet, frustratingly, it's the story we most care about that so often slips through the cracks. That's why HuffPost is now allowing readers to follow topics, reporters and bloggers on the site and across social platforms. Want a tweet every time Arianna blogs? It's all as simple as the click of a mouse. Follow Topics You might have already noticed the encircled + icons beside story tags.

How does this all work? We're using the latest technologies offered by both Facebook and Twitter's application programming interfaces (APIs) to publish automatically and directly to those platforms. We send updates to your News Feed by using Facebook's Open Graph protocol, automatically generating pages for each of the important topics we cover, called Big News pages. Follow Bloggers and Reporters Choose the options that work for you. Nicholas D. Kristof. Mozilla Firefox Start Page.

The article is no longer the atomic unit of news. It's not dead. I didn't kill it. But in the age of online – of "digital first," as the Guardian defined its strategy this month – we should reconsider the article and its place. No longer do the means of production and distribution of media necessitate boxing the world into neat, squared-off spaces published once a day and well after the fact.

Freed of print's strictures, we are finding many new and sometimes better ways to gather and share information. Consider Andy Carvin (@acarvin), the National Public Radio social strategist who has been tweeting and retweeting news from the Arab spring, up to 1,300 times in a day. Carvin is not necessary to the flow of news; witnesses are already sharing what they know without him. Look also to live blogging. So we must question the best use of those resources. At every turn, the question must be where can I add the greatest value?

Yes, articles continue. It's bigger than that, though. Plunderbund. SkinnyOhio.
