Back to business bullets

Remember when we used to write about local media issues, technology and our impending launch-- back before this briefly turned into an animal issues blog? Well, we're back to that.

• Hard to believe, but Jeff Jarvis post day-job is an even better blogger. See What's wrong with news; A new newsroom; and Small is the new big.
     
• We're working on our beta right now, and this Kathy Sierra post is a good warning: Featuritis vs. the Happy User Peak.
     
• Tim Porter with lessons from a newspaper doing the impossible
     
• AJR on the new wave of local sites, and a focus on Backfence.
     
• Mobile is important. (And half-baked unlinked headlines don't cut it.)
     
• No more Eric Celeste blogging. Heaves of relief sighed in corporate media offices all around town.
     
• Adrian and Wilson's crime map is famous.
     
• A media survival kit.
