Social media moves too fast to wait for sites to update. Twitter streams move faster than most people can read. Facebook updates in real time all the time.

Digg Makes Admirable Attempt, but Misses with New Comment Feature
You have to hand it to news aggregator Digg.com. The site is making solid attempts at bringing community back by introducing new features on the site’s front page. The efforts are commendable, but Digg has to be careful it doesn’t trip over its own feet. In the past several days, engineers at Digg rolled out [...]
The World at Large is Transitioning to the New Digg?

Liverpool Lennon Airport Experiments with Carbon Capture Technology
I am totally infatuated with the site I submitted Monday morning. CleanTechnica has been around for a while and specializes in technological innnovations that help make the environment cleaner. It’s so cutting edge that it often doesn’t get a whole lot of press — at least not as much as Britney Spears’ new album. This [...]

Hi I'm John Boitnott. Welcome to my blog! Here I talk about how old media is coping with the Web. I write for Soshable.com, build buzz for sites and advise writers on how to make their work more likely to be shared online. I have worked at Venturebeat, Village Voice Media and NBC. Before that I held several positions at various TV newsrooms in the state of California, from 1994 to 2009.
