ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

A couple notes about comments

Posted: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 1:02 AM by Will Femia

The way the comments works is that I have to approve them before they show up.  Right now that means going through them only once or twice a day.  the good thing about it is that it forces me to read them all, the bad thing is that there ends up being some redundancy in some of them because people can't see when they're making a comment similar to one that's already been submitted.  We're just going to have to forgive each other for overlapping comments in those cases.

If you don't want to leave a public comment you can do two things, either tell me when you post the comment that you don't want it to be public and I won't approve it.  Or else send me a mail.  I'm still reading everything that comes in to Spotter@MSNBC.com (and yes, I'm now aware that the new blog doesn't a link to that address, I'll get that fixed too).

The other good thing about having to approve all the comments is that it gives me a chance to reply to them.  I'm not sure there's a good way to know when it happens, but I am trying to participate in the threads as well as doing the posts.

'Just a suggestion, Will. I think its much more okay if you put all the links in 1 post rather than creating a separate entry for each of them. 'Just like what you did before. It's quite inconvenient having to open them from Live bookmarks one-by-one.
