'Daily News' Has New Traffic Scheme
In a naked bid for high-yield SEO-related traffic, the Daily News has launched... a book blog? It is called "Page Views" though, which is actually kind of "ugh why didn't I think of that" hilarious.
The 'Times' Thinks It Might Have (Maybe) Witnessed Police Brutality (Secondhand)
The New York Times thinks it maybe saw something... so it's saying something. In a Sunday afternoon post titled "Video Appears to Show Wall Street Protesters Being Pepper-Sprayed," the paper's City Room blog embedded a video—originally posted by YouTube user USLAWdotcom—and offered a delicate take on the proceedings.

Now We'll Never Know When Steve Buscemi Throws Away Hats
Oh no. One of the Internet's most wonderful things is closing up shop: "This morning I received a nice e-mail from Lucian Buscemi, Steve’s son, asking me to discontinue the blog. While the notion of going all V for Vendetta on Park Slope’s ass has its appeal, I don’t want to be slinking around the neighborhood taking pictures in defiance of the Buscemi family’s express wishes. I always said I would honor any request from Steve to stop documenting the activity on his stoop, and this is close enough. Accordingly, this blog is officially discontinued." What's On Steve Buscemi's Stoop was a masterpiece, a commentary on fame, on the impossibility of knowing others, and on the many wacky mysteries of New York City. While closing it down upon request is surely the right thing to do, we are all poorer for its death.
This Week's Tech Conference: Three Days Inside the Bubble
By the time I took my seat at [TechConference] on Monday, I had already seen its host’s logo 51 times. The name was printed twice on my conference badge, five times on the lanyard holding that badge, 16 times in the conference agenda, nine times on the side wall of the conference’s main hall, and finally all over the 20-logo tessellation on the stage background. (A giant wooden statue outside the front door spelled out its initials, but we won’t count that.) As I sat down for the first panel, heavy synth-and-bass beats shook the speakers overhead. It was the conference’s theme song. The only lyric: The conference’s name, recited—not sung—over and over again. READ MORE
After a Silent Year, Firmuhment Returns
Guess who's back, after a year of silence? Firmuhment, the world's most legendary Tumblr proprietor. Today he's reading an Elisa Gabbert poem to us! Where has he been? What has he seen? I don't really know, but I feel like I'll figure it out between the lines.
Where You Ladies Get Your Thinspiration
So here is a look at the pro-ana and "thinspo" Tumblr communities! This is a thing to know about, the young ladies who in varying ways crave being tiny, but please note our official position on food and body size is "we are in favor of people eating the hell out of food all the time and enjoying it." BRB, gonna get some ribs and celebrate my real-size body.

Netiquette! This is how to use someone's video. And yes, this is how to get busted for stealing someone's video.
Design and Meaning: A Tour of Romenesko Through the Ages
The Poynter Institute preemptively discourages you from complaining about today's new redesign of the wonderful Jim Romenesko's blog. (But seriously now, if I wanted to read these embedded tweets by Howie Kurtz and Jeff Jarvis... obviously I'd follow them on Twitter, right?) So? Whatever could readers be complaining about? Let's take a tour of Romenesko throughout the decade! READ MORE
