Love the web site. Just subscribed. Sitting here at work, listening to the scanner. I’m an environmental journalist, working in Michigan. I love what you’re doing. I applied for the Knight Challenge, and got to the second round.

But Wow. Yours (the winner) is fantastic. Brilliant idea.

Look forward to hearing more about the project and your views on new journalism, or whatever you want to call it.

I recently found out about water ice on Mars through Twitter. Did a Google search shortly thereafter, and I think the news broke on Twitter.

See ya,

Jeff.

My 1889 issues of the Ann Arbor Argus (paper copies) are full of “news” which would be perfectly at home in today’s blogs, or on twitter.
