Documetario professionale con il telefonino

AP Un documentario italiano fatto con il cellulare
93-Minute Italian Film Shot with Cell Phone Camera A director chose to film his documentary about romance with just a mobile phone -- for its low cost and intimacy.

Italian directors have completed a 93-minute documentary they say is the first feature film to be entirely shot by such a technique. Called ''New Love Meetings,'' it was filmed in a MPEG4 format with a Nokia N90 -- a regular, higher-end cell phone on sale around the globe, documentary co-director Marcello Mencarini said.

The technique underscores what has become a fixture in today's globalized world: The use of amateur video and cell phone cameras to immortalize moments in people's lives. Also, when news breaks, early footage is often shot with a cell phone, and, in the case of major events, authorities and news outlets have been known to call on amateurs to come forward with video.

Netscape diventa un portale di informazione: notizie selezionate *sia* dai redattori *sia* dai lettori. Un buon modello. Mi sembra

Reporters
Wow, contiamo ancora qualcosa
Nell'era di Google News e dei suoi simili, dove una macchina sceglie quali sono le notizie più importanti per me, c'è ancora qualcuno che pensa ai contenuti realizzati e organizzati dai giornalisti. Non è un giornalista: si chiama Jason Calacanis ed è stato il fondatore di Weblogs, Inc. Insieme ad Aol ha avuto una bellissima idea: far risorgere per questa operazione il marchio Netscape. Se Digg non cercherà di evolversi, rischia una brutta fine.

On Thursday, AOL's Netscape property will no longer be just another portal - it's being converted into a Digg-killer. I was briefed on the new site by Jason Calacanis last week. As of tonight, he owns the Netscape property at AOL. The new site will run at beta.netscape.com for now, converting over to the main Netscape.com property soon.

Guardian, news online first

Journalism.co.uk
The Guardian is to introduce a 'news online first' policy for some of its content - the first British national newspaper to do so.

Key stories from foreign correspondents and business journalists will go online ahead of the print edition, in order to "give reporters and writers on the paper the opportunity to produce copy of greater scope outside of the limitations of the daily paper".
