Sheer weight of content

Posted on 19 January 2009 by admin

It’s 2:26Am on a Monday morning and I am just about ready to march down to Canberra and bury Senator Conroy under the 144 seperate articles that have been linked on Twitter regarding his censorwall in the last month alone.

You might notice that I’ve added a del.icio.us button to my sidebar, I’d seriously recommend checking it out for references on the filter issue, there’s already the bespoke 144 articles and that should increase over the next week as I trawl the collective information streams of the various twitterati concerned.

Please make my job easier and if you’ve written an article that didn’t get much coverage, link it here and I’ll add it.

This is all part of a slightly larger project which I’ll announce by Friday. That is assuming it hasn’t killed me first. It’s been a while since I’ve spent this much time doing anything constructive.

I’m actually amazed at the sheer amount that has been written about this issue. I thought I had been keeping relatively good track of what was being published both online and offline. It looks as though I was wrong. There’s a real data mine over in the Whirlpool community that I just hadn’t been keeping a track of.

I must admit that I am impressed with del.icio.us. It has surprised me, I thought I had tried it at one stage and remembered it being remarkably dry and not particularly useful. I was wrong there again. Check it out, it’s worth it if you approach it with a plan or some kind of mission.
