Every time I read things like RSS is dead I want to buy the people that write things like that a copy of the PBS series Connections. Things may change and evolve or become something they were not initially intended be, but they never die. Or they become so much more a part of the fabric of what we do, we don't realize it is even there (you said that much more eloquently).ppidgeonThu, 07 May 2009 10:42:19 -0000http://www.inquisitr.com/11859/could-google-be-the-ny-times-salvation/#comment-4386300Google doesn't have to buy NY Times. A deal that injects cash in NYT and provides Google with something for Google News may also do the trick.ppidgeonSat, 13 Dec 2008 09:15:05 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/11/27/isTwitterJournalism.html#comment-4038449Twitter is just one of many ways to gather information. It's important that one have a variety of sources of information in order that they can come to a rational conclusion about an event. A person should also be clear about the reliability and accuracy of the information they get from specific sources and rank those sources accordingly.ppidgeonThu, 27 Nov 2008 10:00:17 -0000http://thinkprogress.org/2008/11/13/cheney-biden-meeting/#comment-3763231Someone should ask Biden how it felt to to stand so close to evil.ppidgeonThu, 13 Nov 2008 19:30:46 -0000http://webfeeds.brookings.edu/%7Er/BrookingsRSS/topfeeds/LatestFromBrookings/%7E3/431150528/1024_voting_mcdonald.aspx#comment-3309262Interesting piece on early voting by the Brooknings Institute.ppidgeonSun, 26 Oct 2008 07:58:47 -0000http://ping.fm/blog/speak-your-mind-pingers/#comment-2895110Social Thing is s what I downloaded. I like a lot of the Adobe Air apps. I like Social Thing flexibility. I like apps that provide me with options. That's why I like Ping, I have options.ppidgeonMon, 06 Oct 2008 13:01:32 -0000http://ping.fm/blog/speak-your-mind-pingers/#comment-2894268Yes. Thank you. I found what I was looking for. I not saying a desktop client will make it a better service. That I agree with you on. But I see extensions, plug-ins and desktop clients as tools. Ping.fm is a tool. The more tools I have at my disposal to use the more I can do. I'd use Ping regardless. It's a great tool. Now I can do even more with it.ppidgeonMon, 06 Oct 2008 12:06:43 -0000http://ping.fm/blog/speak-your-mind-pingers/#comment-2893839All of which explains the popularity of Twitterific, Tweetdesk, Twhirl......Having a multitude of tabs open doesn't thrill me.

To a certain extent the answer to both these questions is yes. Simply put there is a segment of population out there that will vote against their interest and the reasons for that generally are irrationalism, bigotry, and ignorance.ppidgeonFri, 06 Jun 2008 09:18:46 -0000http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/198873.php#comment-599125I think it goes without saying the whole pretext for the invasion of Iraq was BS! Anyone that took the time to weigh the evidence back then would have been highly skeptical of the Bush Administrations claims.ppidgeonThu, 05 Jun 2008 11:16:44 -0000http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/198825.php#comment-598983It's good to see that despite the fact that McCain and Obama are opposing each other for the Presidency, that they can still work together when it comes to the best interest of the country.ppidgeonThu, 05 Jun 2008 10:55:45 -0000http://ppidgeon.tumblr.com/post/36592950#comment-559671I'm aware of that, but being able to check off more then one blog before posting I think would make a nice addition to what consider to be an excellent app. Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!

Most of these trips have nothing to do with fact finding. They are for the most part photo opportunities. It's not like any of these candidates are actually going to go out on a patrol with the soldiers and risk being maimed or killed by sniper fire or a roadside bomb.ppidgeonFri, 30 May 2008 12:19:03 -0000
