Furry, warm-blooded, neocortex-driven reptiles

Over at pbs.org, Mark Glaser takes a look at the history and various labels applied to so-called citizen journalism. None of them seem to fit, making me wonder if we need to admit that these furry, warm-blooded, neocortex-driven reptiles need some other name.

Mammalian or not, I'll be at the Newsplex in Columbia, SC, meeting with a Portuguese media group, and at J-Lab's "Citizens Media Summit II" this week to talk about it. And I'll be attending the Online News Association conference Friday and Saturday as well.
