Leaks, blogs and NGOs
Hello again,
This week on Pods and Blogs we have been taking in tips from you as well as exploring some of the darker content available online.
The website caused a sensation last week with the release of some classified military video footage. Chris Vallance talks to , a young US Army veteran who commented on the video on his blog.
Please note that the military video footage on the links above contain imagery that some may find disturbing. Please approach with caution.
Thanks this week go to who tipped me off about via Facebook. A step or three on from Flashmobbing, the Subtle Mobs show a depth and creativity that stays with the participant for longer. Duncan Speakman is the creator who makes events happen around us in innovative ways.
If, in the slightly impossible event, you may be stuck for something to read on-line, then you will be excited to know that 365 bloggers over 365 days are contributing to a Posterous page known as . Daniel Honigman and Len Kendall oversee the project which is drawing attention to some fresh voices and extraordinary writers who are documenting the year around them.
As is often the case when browsing, one thing leads to another. It was through reading the wonderful posts on The 3six5 pages that I came across the organisation known as . Working with NGOs, Salaam Garage brings together groups of content makers, citizen reporters, network specialists, photographers and more to present stories and news from extraordinary places. Amander Koster is the founder who explained more about how it works.
Plenty to explore this week and more of course coming up next week as usual.
If you have been inspired by something online or maybe there is a podcast, blog or webpage that you return to time and again for your internet kicks - then do let us know.
You can email me at podsandblogs at bbc dot co dot uk, or do come and say hello on Twitter where you can find me as @PodsandBlogs.
Until next week!
