WFPL’s Content Concierge

The experiment is a first stab at trying to address three problems: first, public radio web sites are really quite static. [...]

Twitter, Jaiku, Conversations, Value: Add Me!!

I’m closing in on a year of using Twitter, seven months with Jaiku… and I’ve enjoyed the element of presence these applications afford - the vicarious enjoyment I get from the snapshots into the lives of my friends, many of whom live across the country.
