Kevin: An excellent overview of the powerful RegEX (Regular Expression) function in Yahoo Pipes. Yahoo Pipes can do so much, and it's visual approach might just help many people (including me) get their head around programming and scripting. Very useful guide for journalists who want to do powerful analysis on web sources.

Kevin: Patrick Smith, now of paidContent:UK but previously of the Press Gazette, writes about why the UK journalism's 'Trade Bible' failed. It's a good list of not only why the Press Gazette failed but why other publications are failing. Editorial lost out to publisher Wilmington's other goals. The latest business model didn't work and like so many other print publications there are a list of failed online strategies.

Kevin: A great column from (North Carolina) News & Record Editor John Robinson providing real world examples of how social media has enhanced their coverage. John says: "Everyone who spends any time on Facebook or blogging or Twitter knows that they are valuable informational tools, which makes them valuable journalistic tools. It's not rocket science." John walks the talk.

Kevin: People think I'm a little crazy about geo-tagging, but it's a small bit of fundamental work that opens up a world of value-added location-based services that could be sources of revenue for news organisations. Dan Gillmor highlights how easy this is to do with his class. As Dan says: "The point is that some events take place over time and space, and are made to order for this kind of treatment. Journalists are actually quite late to the party. Flickr and other sites are displaying crowd-sourced such events via user-created tags."

Kevin: Some great tips from the ultimate innovator: Thomas Edison. Be passionate. Question your assumptions. Change things up. Learn to collaborate. Don't forget the customer.

Kevin: To sum up Kinsley's view, look to the last sentence: "If General Motors goes under, there will still be cars. And if the New York Times disappears, there will still be news."

Kevin: A good quick list on how journalists should respond to comments. The first tip is essential. Responding to comments is part a journalist's job. Period. There are also good tips on how to deal with negativity or even makes a racist comment. Also, one of the key points that I make is that the journalist sets the tone. If you're aggressive in the post and aggressively defensive, prepare for a very unpleasant experience, one which you've helped create.

Kevin: Tip of the hat to Alf Hermida and Mindy McAdams for highlighting this brilliant collection of video tips and best practices from The Digital Journalist. The collection has articles on workflow, how to improve videojournalism stories and how to make the transition from stills photography to video.

Kevin: MOBVIS is a new mobile service that will compare images in its database to landmarks as seen by a mobile phone camera. It's an interesting project that builds on some of the augmented reality projects that have been in academia for a while. However, I am always a bit sceptical with these projects seeing as one obvious application – tourism information – become very expensive with data roaming charges. But whereas the augmented reality projects in the past relied quite heavily bespoke technology, it's nice to see this kind of thing filtering down to consumer tech.
