Time to start catching up.

Let’s start with links.

1. Robert Scoble breaks down several social networks and what they offer him: "One thing that happened in 2007 is that we finally saw real value in having lots of friends on online services….The thing is my online “social networking” friends have added a great deal of value to my life. Let’s detail how."

2. Robin Good lists more online collaboration tools than I can shake a stick at. Again, beat blogging isn’t just about technology – it’s  about managing people, but knowing what tools are out there is still key.

3. Some thoughts on Ryan Sholin’s ReportingOn, which is similar to an earlier beat blogging post on Twitter.

About BeatBlogging.org

BeatBlogging.org was a grant-funded journalism project that studied how journalists used social media and other Web tools to improve beat reporting. It ran for about two years, ending in the fall of 2009.

New content is occasionally produced here by the this project's former editor Patrick Thornton. The site is still up and will remain so because many journalists and professors still use and link to the content. BeatBlogging.org offers a fascinating glimpse into the former stages of journalism and social media. Today it's expected that journalists and journalism organization use social media, but just a few years ago that wasn't the case.
