We've got claws and an awesome hat.

A VERY nice walk-through of what was wrong w/ last week's WaPo piece on Causes. Bad #s and focusing on the wrong metrics.

Interesting.

Nice design. Highly doubt there's an audience who cares.

Marketers starting to pick up on the "choose your own adventure" possibilities in in-video links on YouTube.

Nice round-up of Obama's behavioral economics approach to changing incentives instead of taking markets over altogether.

Chris's lovely round-up of sentiments at the end of 100 Days.

I like the "just do it" attitude. Not kind, but certainly necessary.

Nice rejoinder on the good stuff that goes beyond the superficial understanding most have of twitter.

Very interesting. I bet this is tied up w/ Ezra going over there. Bulking up on an policy wonk blogging.

When Charles Johnson is the sanest among you, you've got a real problem.

Good write up on why Causes could have trouble.

Ezra going to WaPo.

*Drool*

Very rough article. I wonder why they didn't explain that the strategy was viral growth first, then once hooks are in figure out how to turn it into cash. It's classic web 2.0 thinking.

Already using it, already loving it.

Part Gawker, part HuffPo, except without the "making money" part.

It's true, Marcy Wheeler deserves mad props (yet again) for this.

Great talk on data visualization. Key take-away: give users tools to find their own stories in the data (make it a user interface, let it be dynamic).

Not sure how useful it is, but it's very pretty.

The big news sites in March.

Shorter, and less polite, Scott Rosenberg: Mark Penn is an idiot or a liar or both.

Basically, NYTs digital is becoming a bigger piece of a smaller pie. That trend will probably continue for a while.

Interesting. Metrics for video ads. Key pt: GET THE RIGHT METRICS.

Rough.

NYTs takes a lot, Eugene Robinson for commentary. And now back to your regularly programmed media depression.

YouTube's stab at Hulu.

Interesting. Gay marriage huge online, barely a blip in the mainstream.

Tracy makes the case for the little media guy. Awesome.

Newsweek is 1. going upmarket to have a bigger bang for your buck on the paper product (higher ad dollars and subscription prices to keep revenue high despite lower distribution and therefore distribution costs), and 2. AGGREGATION! They're gonna link out!

God they make a lot of money.

Awesome.

Interesting analysis. Not sure what it means, but nice data to have.

Nice little piece from Kurtz on Politico's breakout obsession. I empathize with both of them.

Nice profile of the insanely humble Joe Rospars.

Still jealous.

Ouch.

Digg backs down on the digg bar.
