Imagine this: you visit one of your favorite news sites and the homepage displays a notification that an article you read yesterday has been updated with new information, and a story you read last week has been corrected.

I started posting random jokes, links, and forecasts on Facebook and Twitter. Now I have a creative outlet that allows me to directly… Continue Posted by Paul Poteet on November 11, 2009 at 9:30pm — 8 Comments
