Bookmarked via Ma.gnolia on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 @ 15:00 CDT by Daniel Andrlik

My friend Dan Patterson is a U.N. correspondent for Talk Radio News, and was recently sent on assignment to Sudan. He’s sent back several reports via a satellite phone, and this latest one deals with him witnessing the freeing of over 100 slaves in the Sudanese desert.

One of the many shocking things in this short report is when he reveals what was exchanged for their freedom after years of hardship.

Let’s do for news what we did for software | Linux Journal

This is a pretty good article on citizen journalism from Open Source Linux guru Doc Searls. While I’m a fan of the concept, and support the idea of citizen journalism, I think the notion that all bloggers should be CJs to be particularly ridiculous. More on that some other time.

MySpace: The Business of Spam 2.0 (Exhaustive Edition) - Valleywag

Trent Lapinski’s expose on the origins of MySpace. It’s tone is really judgmental, considering that the majority of the revelations are pretty obvious assumptions that an astute user would make.
