CL1P.net - The Internet Clipboard Reinventing Gonzo Journalism in a digital age Part 1 - Rock the Drawing by the great Thomas Hawke Hunter S Thompson is a hero of many. The writer of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and the most honest book about the Hell’s Angels appeals to thousands of young journalists. He invented Gonzo Journalism. A journalism genre that finds its roots in New Journalism, where the old distinctions between journalism and creative writing were blurred. Gonzo Journalism took things a little further. So Thompson died in 2005. What’s there to write about? To get an idea how we can reinvent Gonzo Journalism we should come up with some ideas for stories first. Want to experiment with Gonzo Journalism (coined by Hunter S Thompson) and thinking about spectacular subject. Some stories that need Gonzo style reporting Olaf Koens, a Dutch correspondent in Moscow suggested to send a reporter to war-zone, since that’s one of the subjects where Hunter S Thompson had flaws. Twitter user Gumbah said we’ve to investigate coffeeshop suppliers by posting outside their doors.
OpenDNS, el DNS configurable Ya hablamos de OpenDNS hace un tiempo, un servidor de DNS alternativo que prometía mayor velocidad y mayor seguridad, al evitar páginas que puedan contener malware o phishing. Ahora han añadido un nuevo servicio que imita los atajos de búsqueda de los que disponen algunos navegadores, como Opera, y que, particularmente, es algo que uso muchísimo. La idea es que no sea necesario teclear la dirección completa de un sitio, sino que podamos configurar una serie de abreviaturas que nos mandarán directamente al sitio al que queremos navegar. Pero no solo eso, sino que también se puede utilizar con URLs más complejas, de forma que se puedan realizar búsquedas. La instalación del sistema es muy sencilla, solo es necesario cambiar las direcciones de nuestros servidores DNS en la configuración. Vía | Crunchgear.

The Internet is Killing America's Free Press and Why It Mat By popular demand, here is the complete version of my little weekend magnum opus on the future of the American press with all four of the related posts in one place.  If you read it in parts, I made a few minor revisions and corrected some misspelled words.  Thanks for reading and caring. JB There is a wonderful scene in State of Play, Kevin McDonald's flawed, but thought-provoking, political thriller, when Cal McAffrey, the grizzled, oddly uncynical investigative reporter played skillfully by Russell Crowe, explains to the young gossip blogger from his newspaper's online group why he spends so much time checking and re-checking leads, working his sources, and making sure he has all the verifiable and double-sourced facts available before he lets go of a story: "I still think they (readers) know the difference between real news and bullshit," he says. For the sake of our democracy, I pray that he is right. But, content is not necessarily news. Why Journalism Matters
WSS 3.0 > configuración Alternate Access Mappings (acceso int WSS 3.0 & MOSS: Configuración de los Alternate Access Mappings (II)! Hace un par de semanas os comentaba que en SharePoint tenemos la posibilidad de definir rutas de acceso alternativas a la que por defecto tenemos disponible al crear una web application y un site collection de SharePoint (WSS 3.0 o MOSS). Como os comentaba, la clave de definir rutas alternativas en SharePoint está en las rutas de acceso alternativo de SharePoint. La idea de este post es comentaros como configurar las rutas de acceso alternativo (alternate access mappings) en una máquina que tiene instalado SharePoint y que si tiene un DNS definido. Añadiendo un nuevo host a nuestro DNS Abrimos la consola de gestión de DNS (dnsmgmt): Expandimos la sección Forward Lookup Zones, y seleccionamos la que se corresponde con el dominio que tengamos establecido (en mi caso LITWAREINC.COM). Con esto ya conseguiríamos que el navegador de nuestra máquina entendiese las direcciones intranet.litwareinc.com y extranet.litwareinc.com.
Sptrans The Long Tail - Wired Blogs Jon Lund, the head of the Danish Internet Advertising Bureau, and I had dinner in Norway last week and he told me the chilling story of the crazy free newspaper war in Denmark that almost killed everyone involved. I thought it was an important cautionary tale of Free gone wrong, and I encouraged him to write it up on his blog. He did, and it is indeed grim reading. I’ve excerpted (and lightly edited) the basic story below, but it’s worth going straight to the source to get Jon’s analysis, along with a lot of links to other reports on this disaster. Short form: the attempt by a half-dozen newspaper publishers to “out-free” a free Icelandic paper that entered the market (backed by Morten Lund, who made a fortune as an early investor in Skype) ended up costing the collective newspaper industry in Denmark more than $150 million dollars and the bankruptcy of three newspapers. Morten Lund has also been chronicling this disaster, confessional style, on his blog (see here and here).
