Pipes. Any extra resource is a good one – I’d be recommending journalists to be creating their own syndications/aggregators through RSS readers and things like xFruits and Yahoo! Pipes.

Another question - it's not quite social media but I've noticed there are some online syndication communities/marketplaces (e.g. <a href="http://thesyndicatednews.com" rel="nofollow">The Syndicated News</a>, etc). Do you think those are good resources for freelance journalists? Great answers, thank you.

However, given the choice between not writing anything and publishing on video, I'll choose the latter. I also think video offers some forms of interactivity that text doesn't - in particular, increased sense of community; the ability for people to comment via a medium they're more comfortable with; and ease of posting via mobile phone or laptop (e.g. Qik; Bambuser). @Tim totally agree about video (see http://onlinejournalismblog.wordpress.com/2006/10/13/analysis-video-journalism-is-the-easy-option/), which is why I asked Jess to transcribe this (the post now contains that transcription).

I'll certainly keep tabs on what you have to say and will refer students to your blog. I found many of the questions posed to you of particular interest to me as both an academic and as a journalist. While many people believe technology is behind the growth of online journalism I'll always argue it's the ability for everyday people to engage, comment, respond and create content that is the real backbone of this movement.
