Tuxedo doesn't have a bar; the dirtiest restaurants in Orange County in 2007; Lucky places to buy lottery tickets; creating new web pages to crowdsource, etc.

"This is the place to talk to the expert in the next cubicle, which happens to be three towns over — or across a continent." Oh yeah, pro and student journalists have been doing this for years on Visual Editors. It is liberating. Rock on.

The first little tiny piece of reportingon.com is live in the sidebar on the right. If you send a tweet to @reportingon, it will show up here after a 'few' minutes. Eventually, I'll get this built in a much more solid way using the Twitter API. Right now that's just the search results from Terraminds.com being fed through SimplePie to show up here.

This is pretty much why I want to start a newsblog at a weekly newspaper - tell people in our community in general what we're doing, without giving it all away. But the idea is I'd give them enough so the audience can talk to me, tell me know else I should contact, fill in my blanks.

I think this is fantastic.

Hi everyone. Thanks for checking out the site. This is one of several places where discussions are going on about what exactly ReportingOn should be like.

Most of the feedback I've heard from professional journalists at this point goes along the lines of "I'm not sure reporters will be willing to share what sort of stories they're on, for fear of getting scooped."

What do you think? Would you be willing to post something in a public forum for your beat to get feedback from peers at another paper in another town?
