What is the multimedia blogosphere talking about?
Monday, August 18, 2008
Whether it's "mobile" (New Media Bytes) or "social" (Reportr.net) this is what multimedia journalism blogs are discussing:
Mindy McAdams
Technolo-J
Reportr.net
SteveOuting.com
Journalistopia
Robb Montgomery
New Media Bytes
10,000 Words
Word clouds created with Wordle. The online tool can extract recurring words from any site or RSS feed. See a practical application (Sen. McCain v. Sen. Obama's blogs) here.
I originally intended to use mooColorFinder to extract the color scheme from each blog, but most use the same light blue, gray and white. We are reporters, not designers.

On Sunday night, I went through this exact exercise to help refocus and reassess my blog at gaffney3.com. Wordle.net was invaluable in my refining its overall message by its visual representation of the topics and keywords I was choosing.
Anyway, here’s my post:

Jonathan Feinberg qualifies Wordle as a toy, but I would suggest to anyone writing a blog that it be looked at as a powerful tool.

So am I the only blogger to file using a byline? Newspaper habits die hard, I guess.
