A Follow-up to Seesmic

My last post was about Seesmic, a new tool that I continue to think has potential for beat blogging.

I highlighted a thread started by Paul Bradshaw – and it has yielded some fruit.

John Hassell at the Star Ledger notes the potential Seesmic has for columnists in his own Seesmic video and also gets the chance to respond to a reader in a follow up video.

Obviously journalists can do video responses to EVERY single reader question – but Seesmic is very… echem… seamless. It isn’t hard to do several videos a day.

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.
