What happened to the online hunger fight?

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Saw this great post from the folks who run the Blog over at Tyson Hunger Relief. Although Tyson is a for-profit company they have been doing some great work around giving excess food to charities who help feed the hungry.

Thanks to Mediabistro:TVNewser, I came across an article about MSNBC.Com. Their Web site receives more visitors than the Web sites at CNN and NYTIMES.  This article also added to my vocabulary; see the reference to "shovelware".
TVNewser also reports that various ABC reporters will start blogging. Looks like the line between MSM and the blogosphere continues [...]
