Louise sent me this item on branding which looks very interesting (and fits with some of the things I was discussing in my interview) - brands are more than logos: Building Brand into Structure

Just discovered a very interesting South Korean news site that allows the audience to publish articles of their own by agreeing to a code of ethics. Looks like participatory journalism is coming of age.

Now with news feeds

Many thanks are owed to Ian Forrester and in particular Neil Charlton for their help in setting up PHP based RSS parsing on the site for me. I've quickly built a page (mainly for personal use) where I'll add new and interesting feeds to as I discover them.
