I’m going to mention the word once, then not only will you never hear or see me use it again, I might actually go so far as to punch squarely in the neck anyone who insists on using the word in relation to the product I’m about to announce: Hyperlocal.
There, I said it. An utterly [...]

A student reader and Paper View Monday fan writes to ask whether I know of any news buildings with an outdoor news ticker (also known as a zipper, maybe?), such as those at Good Morning America’s set in Times Square, as pictured above.

Here’s to even lazier adherence to and significantly greater indifference toward widely accepted rules of good blogging in year two!

Sigh. Another big Street View update from Google today, but still a gigantic swath of outdated aerial imagery here in South Florida. The love, Google. Where is it? On with the inevitable collection of newspaper buildings (or at least buildings in the general vicinity of newspaper buildings) as seen in the newly added Street View [...]

I’m bringing back the meh T-shirt from my September post on Google hosting wire stories on the occasion of another Google News development. (Note, however, that Howard Owens says in a comment on TechCrunch that this feature isn’t new. I must be thick, because the Google News Blog post was the first I heard about [...]
