  1. @kleinmatic @alexismadrigal @AntDeRosa I dream of a quiz-based system that adjusts to me based on my proven level of background knowledge. 12 minutes ago via web in reply to kleinmatic
  2. @pbump @antderosa But the fact is they didn't. And that is where you have a newsroom culture and training problem. 44 minutes ago via web
  3. @pbump @antderosa Bet if we asked them Campos and McCrank would say they wrote it for everyone interested in the story. reut.rs/KbIxhi about 1 hour ago via web
  4. @pbump @alexismadrigal @antderosa Or, if you're not trying to make it accessible to everyone, just close followers, find a way to say so. about 1 hour ago via web in reply to pbump
  5. @tcarmody @alexismadrigal @antderosa I like that approach, too. about 1 hour ago via web in reply to tcarmody
  6. @alexismadrigal @antderosa Okay, but the background graf is a fail too. Too little for the newcomer, too much for the close follower. about 1 hour ago via web in reply to alexismadrigal
  7. Reinventing the article. A Storify by @AntDeRosa based on yesterday's exchanges on Twitter about missing background. bit.ly/LsRqTP about 1 hour ago via web
  8. @davewiner Agreed. Also, the fact that there is a way for users to solve the problem does not mean you solved the user's problem. about 8 hours ago via web in reply to davewiner
  9. @davewiner I'm glad you wrote that. It is very common for people to wave away the whole problem by saying: that's what Wikipedia is for! about 8 hours ago via web in reply to davewiner
  10. @DannyHorowitz @The_Analyst No, his point is you stay awake but shut up. about 23 hours ago via web in reply to DannyHorowitz
  11. @The_Analyst Thanks for the 100% condescending advice, but I will stick with the way I am doing it. Lots don't like it, but enough do :-) about 24 hours ago via web in reply to The_Analyst
  12. @The_Analyst On those rare occasions, I comment on Wall Street as a befuddled taxpayer. I take it you think we should shut up, then? about 24 hours ago via web in reply to The_Analyst
  13. @GusSent @davewiner @felixsalmon @jeffjarvis @antderosa That's what everyone says who thinks this problem is not really a problem. :-) about 24 hours ago via web in reply to GusSent
  14. @The_Analyst Oh, I'm interested. Very. I do the best I can. But there's a lot of tacit and technical knowledge I lack. Often, I'm clueless. about 24 hours ago via web in reply to The_Analyst
  15. @davewiner @felixsalmon @jeffjarvis @AntDeRosa Dave: I wrote it in 2008. archive.pressthink.org/2008/08/13/nat… We just haven't made that much progress on it. about 24 hours ago via web in reply to davewiner
  16. @jeffjarvis @felixsalmon @AntDeRosa Right. The story doesn't come with any way to access the background knowledge it actually depends on. 4:45 PM May 26th via web in reply to jeffjarvis
  17. @felixsalmon @AntDeRosa I don't have a problem with Reuters writing for the investor class. I just want them to tell me: "not for you, Jay." 4:42 PM May 26th via web in reply to felixsalmon
  18. @AntDeRosa What these people on this critical phone call do, what they couldn't do because of screw-ups, and how that affected other people. 4:35 PM May 26th via web in reply to AntDeRosa
