Super Tuesday, Geographic Alerts, and Maps in Election Coverage (Directions Media podcast): "Super Tuesday brought severe weather in the South and high-tech mapping and analysis in the media.

Get over yourself and offer useful services (Steve Outing, Growing Your News Website): "'Get over yourself' means acknowledging and leading your readers and users to good sources of content beyond your news organization.

Max, 19, hits the road (Guardian Unlimited): Warning to newspapers -- nepotism stinks, especially in blogs. Check out these comments. Ouch!

Teaching journalism students to Twitter: the good, the bad, and the ugly (Online Journalism Blog): BRAVO! "Online, journalism is not just making a Web page or a video; it is commenting on a blog, or bookmarking a Web page. There are no walls in cyberspace, only links. Journalism lies in every act you commit online. You just need to make it visible."
