Social Journalism

Morning all -

Some of you may remember about a year back when I was so excited to have a picture of mine from flickr sourced for a Reuters article about North Korea on the citizen. journalism site, NowPublic.

We this morning, NowPublic sent an interesting bit of news out that they are now compatible with YouTube videos. So now all of you who have stories to share can document them for the public in multimedia, Whoopee.

It's not the first of its kind, and it's not a major news site making this announcement, but I'm happy to see even the English-language internet beginning to catch on to some of the technologies that have been in (at least) Japan and Korea for a couple years.

One more posting to come today....
