The tabs in my browser were getting out of hand. Time for a link dump:

- [Is Twitter more media than social?](http://gigaom.com/2011/03/28/twitter-as-media-yes-celebrities-and-brands-still-matter/?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+OmMalik+%28GigaOM%3A+Tech%29) Interesting. I suspect that there’s lots of research to be done on different communities and their use of the Twitter.
- [What are the problems in covering demos live?](http://www.chriswheal.com/marching-orders/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) The limits of technology in a crowded protest – Martin has [covered similar territory](http://martincloake.wordpress.com/2011/03/28/26march-embedded-reporting-live-a-personal-account/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)
- [Don’t blame the media if your demo doesn’t work](http://www.charliebeckett.org/?p=4220&ref=onemanandhisblog.com) – quick, but still insightful, analysis of the coverage of last weekend’s protest. I really want to blog about it, but not sure I can face the likely reaction.
- [Journalists must set the tone for their communities](http://charman-anderson.com/2011/03/29/journalists-must-set-the-tone-for-their-communities/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) – Kevin argues that journalists need to accept more responsibility for shaping the behaviour of their commenting communities. Damn right they do – too many journalists just can’t make the connection between the way they report and the reaction it garners
- [Invest time and effort to attract “the right kind” of contributors](http://www.currybet.net/cbet%5Fblog/2011/03/paul-bradshaw-invest-in-users.php?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+currybet+%28currybetdotnet+-+Martin+Belam%27s+blog%29) – another riff on the theme
