Links for today: Twitter, RSS and blogging

Haven't done one of these posts for ages. Tend to push links through my Twitter feed these days. But anyway for your dereliction or delight here are a few things I've been reading:

Twitter

• Can't seem to escape it these days. Surgeons are tweeting operations and 'normal' people will be using it soon. Heaven forbid. Normal people.
  

• For those of you just can't take it anymore, here's the Daily Show's John Stewart who says what you're all thinking.

RSS

• Various journalists explain how they use RSS feeds to do journalism in the comments section of this open post.

Blogging

• So 2005, but still so much to be resolved. Kevin Anderson highlights some of the issues that have cropped up as a result of the festering NUJ row.

• Though budget airline Ryanair might usefully take a trip back to 2005 and learn a few basics. This is a case study in how not to engage with bloggers.

P.S. And if you're interested in counterinsurgency and social media, check out my latest post at the Frontline Club.
