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.

Remember that video with the celebrities telling us "don't vote" and we all pretty much panned it as being stupid? Turns out they made a follow-up with all the actors not understanding why they're being asked to read lines that don't make sense. I'm only OK with it this time because it's Harrison Ford to sets things right. I'm still not particularly crazy about being nagged by celebrities. (Note: a couple tiny curses you'll barely hear.)

"The memorial reefs are known as “reef balls.” They are constructed by mixing cremated remains with liquid concrete, which is put into mold in order to create the reef ball." Kinda a weird, but really, is it any more bizarre than scattering ashes?

Folks are describing the new Mtv site as having every music video ever (and therefore something of a YouTube killer). I don't know about that. They're pretty light on Jimi Hendrix footage compared with what you can find on YouTube but still, always nice to have another free music source.
