Digital Consultant links for February 9th through February 11th

These are my links for February 9th through February 11th:

New BBC Director Mandates Journalists Use Social Media – Look like BBC, along with other news rooms, are insisting that journalists 'get with da programme' and get connected with Twitter, RSS etc as a news gathering and feedback reponse. Hoorah.
Cross platform storytelling links – Some links I will soon be checking out to interactive storytelling projects from an Indie Training Fund event I recently attended.
Big brands see mixed results on Twitter – US stats showing many big brands are achieving more success on Facebook than Twitter, where even Apple don't have a presence (is this REALLY true?). Article suggests Twitter is waning in popularity, but actually for me it's maybe taking up on more specific niches which attract special interest group and a more connected community (and big brands, that probably doesn't include you).

These are my links for December 21st through December 23rd:

500 Internal Server Error – 500 Internal Server Error
Browser Size – A neat tool that lets you see how visitors view your website who are using different browser sizes and programes, which can show you where the majority of people will start to see content drop out from the right or drop down 'below the fold' of the web browser.
The End Of Hand Crafted Content – Tech Crunch's excellent Michael Arrington on the worry for online publisher that re-writes and lack of attribution from online sources will lead to a wealth of 'fast food' content where journalism is pushing out the skill in the online – as well as print – space. "The disruptors are getting disrupted". A gripey moan? Well maybe, but I go with him that there's little income now in quality journalism as well all become sapped into the Google link well…
