WaPo tries to seat TBD.com at the kids’ table

The article published today by The Washington Post about TBD.com, is pretty sad. It is rarely a good thing when make your childish attitude clear in the first 8 words. That’s not a lede, it’s a put down.

Also, who the heck decided to put the term community engagement in scare quotes? Perhaps it’s more depressing that The Post does not even know what that idea means. If the company had cared about community maybe they wouldn’t have had to sell Newsweek for a dollar.

Anthologize, a new WordPress plugin

Boone Gorges just released Anthologize, a very interesting WordPress plugin for collecting content and publishing in a variety of e-book formats. Looks like a great idea.
