[The News is NowPublic.com | NowPublic.com: The News is Now Public] According to internal documents provided to Wired News and interviews with key executives, Gannett, the publisher of USA Today as well as 90 other American daily newspapers, will begin crowdsourcing many of its newsgathering functions. Starting Friday, Gannett newsrooms were rechristened "information centers," and instead of being organized into separate metro, state or sports departments, staff will now work within one of seven desks with names like "data," "digital" and "community conversation."

[People.tribe.net] Darin's Profile - tribe.net: Robots in Disguise is a while different enchilada. Currently comprised of Dee Plume (taken from "Nom De Plume", French for a writer's pen name) and Sue Denim (a play on the assumed name word "pseudonym"), their drummer Ann Droid, and rotating duty on bass usually by Noel Fielding or Chris Corner this band has attitude, swagger and some teeth to bite you with. The band's popularity in the states is still growing in the nooks and crannys of the musical underbelly but Robots are particularly popular primarily in continental Europe and especially in the UK where the two have starred in BBC television's comedy Mighty Boosh. The two electro-punk band members starred in a couple of episodes of the show including the appropriately titled "Electro" episode as two electro girls in a band called "Kraftwerk Orange". I wish I could say that I've seen it but it sounds pretty funny just from the name of the band on the show.

Each "pod" can hold about 50 crushed containers, and there's a compartment on top for glass bottles, newspapers and other recyclable junk.
