Democracy For Realsies: Iceland Is Crowdsourcing Its Constitution
13 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Hot damn but I love the future. Iceland is drawing up a new constitution, in the wake of the country’s commercial banks collapsing.

09 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Reports over the weekend have claimed that UK journalist and newspaper Twitter feeds are possibly going to become regulated.

So Hey, Twitter Hasn’t Re-Invented Journalism After All
16 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Sort of. HP recently released a study looking under the hood of Twitter’s ‘Trending Topics’ function – revealing (gasp) that most of the time, popular topics get broadcast by major media twitter accounts, then amplified by their followers, rather than some wanky cloud-based news system.

SARAH PALIN IS NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE SHAKESPEARE
21 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
You know who Sarah Palin is, right? She’s that most painful of creatures – a self-righteous, insular hockey mom with the backing of a powerful political party. And she’s also not very bright. Which is perhaps a great reason to keep herself AWAY from social media tools, like Twitter, for instance. The great TweetMachine has […]
