What are some of the best resources for finding out more about online news tools like this one? beatblogging.org? toolkit.snd.org? Where did you hear about ReportingOn?
My Google Reader has been neglected for a long time, mostly because I follow so many other journalists/innovators on Twitter that chances are if it's worth seeing I'll see it pop up in my Twitter stream.
That's a great base, but branch out. Find some other reporters on your beat in a different community or people who hold jobs you'd like to have or people you'd love to work for some day. See who they're following, retweeting or replying to and follow them too.
