It is now and again perplexing just to always be making a gift of instructions that many many others might have been making money from. And now we keep in mind we need the blog owner to thank for that. Most of the illustrations you have made, the simple website navigation, the friendships you help to promote - it's most overwhelming, and it's letting our son and the family believe that this idea is fun, and that's very essential.

It's not at all simplistic to simply possibly be giving for free guidelines that people today could have been trying to sell. And we already know we have the blog owner to appreciate because of that. All the explanations you made, the simple blog menu, the friendships you can help to create - it's mostly awesome, and it's letting our son and the family reckon that that content is exciting, and that's truly essential.

For a non-profit agency, the information has more reliability than an agency that has potential benefits from placing a spin on the story. For example, at an oil spill I would prefer less bias boots on the ground. Another thing to keep in mind is the source.

If I am uninterested in the latest fashion trends or celebrity gossip I simply don't follow their tweets or their rss feeds or make them friends. I am not forced to filter through that info on news websites and or in print. Sort of like subscribing just to the Discovery channel vs. getting all cable channels. I agree there are issues with making sure organizations are held accountable for good as well as bad. Having vigilant followers who will hold these organizations in check will help. Ultimately it's boils down to where people want to focus their attention. There are certainly plenty of distractions and noise. I believe those who can adequately synthesize the information they receive and filter out the junk will be those most valuable to their organizations and customers.

This only works if the people on the ground are reliable. We need to tread carefully, I think. The lesson is also that there was a huge amount of activity over … nothing.

It helps dull the roar of the 'but we need boots on the ground' argument from many journalists. If you have the people you were reporting on doing their own … reporting, the need to have as many newsorg employees on the ground decreases – you can have reporters paid for by the people who are already there. For that matter, the reach is greater – there's no way this Coast Guard story would have been reported as quickly without the help of the Coast Guard themselves doing the reporting. Now, if we can just implement some guarantee that they will report the bad stuff with the good. Perhaps transparency is the answer? Mark–
