Silicon Valley News Links
I've been experimenting with a sister site, Silicon Valley Newswire. I get sent a lot of information. Some of it I follow up with interviews and write stories for Silicon Valley Watcher. But there is a lot that I don't have time to cover and it usually it goes to waste. But sometimes the information can be interesting enough on its own.
What I've done is color-coded the content to identify the source. If it is in black type, it is written by me. If it is in red, the content is directly quoted by the person or company that sent it to me. If it is in green, then I have a money relationship with that source or the content was included for a fee (no green content yet). If it is in brown then I might be brown nosing :)
Hopefully this provides some transparency and the reader is better able to judge the content by knowing the source and my motivation. Please let me know if you think there is value in this approach.
Here are some news links:
