Mashable! Out of the hundreds of articles and posts out there on how companies should utilize social media and Web 2.0, CNN seems to be one of the few major corporations out there that have paid attention.

: Ironic, I guess, considering that many people think of CNN as yesterday's news. Yet they're the first to adopt social networks. Hmm. I gave up on CNN a long time ago, when they started devoting coverage to people rather than news (Paris Hilton isn't a story, no matter what she does. Neither is Lindsey Lohan. That stuff belongs on E, not on a news network.)

For real interaction, http://twitter.com/gustavreporter was on the ground, providing live Twitter updates. Rick, ultimately, was in a studio, (and didn't experience power outages!)

: One could also get "bad" data from the library! What if a student used a book by David Icke, or a similar kooky writer because it was available in the library? in what way does a printed source have more authority than wikipedia? Instead, academics should perhaps focus on how to get their students to develop critical thinking abilities, rather than dismiss wikipedia because it is not "peer reviewed".

Walt Mossberg Pees On Google "Chrome": Worse Than Microsoft IE8

D Og B Oi,

: Daniel J. Pritchett, a commenter above me said "Which is more important today, an in-depth knowledge of greek/roman classics or an ability to contribute solid insights to a social network? "

Well, they're both equally important. And if I had children and they could only learn one of these things, I'd choose the Greek and Roman classics. I don't think I'd be hindering them at all. (Social networks are intuitive. They can learn that anytime.)

We tend to believe that subjects that we have no interest in, or don't seem related to our occupation or daily lives are useless. This is definitely NOT true. We need both breadth and depth of knowledge to be complete human beings and valuable employees. The best computer programmers I've ever met had very liberal educations. The worst came from tech schools where they just studied programming. Why is that? Because a liberal education teaches skills that aren't always as obvious as technical educations. Critical thinking and analysis, for example, is not something you'll learn unless you actually do it, and studying and writing about literature (including the Greek and Roman classics) will help you develop that.

Personally, I think the internet is a wonderful research tool. But it shouldn't be the only one, and teachers should require students to physically go to a library, look in periodicals and books, and some homework should be done old school, with no computer at all. I've noticed that kids don't carry around books anymore. When I was a child, all the way up through my teenage years and young adulthood, I carried books with me to places like doctor's offices, parks, bus stops, etc. If I knew I might have to wait, I had a book handy. The kids today all have PSPs and Nintendo DS. None of them seem to be reading much, unless it comes off an LCD screen. (Not that reading off an LCD screen is necessarily a bad thing, but it tends to create reading multiple sources rather rapidly. There's no depth
