opinion: cnn's analysis on mj's death and drug interactions
This note is based on CNN's article titled: Jackson's death raises questions about drug interactions. MJ apparently took a cocktail of drugs (medicine and not narcotics). I disagree on CNN's analysis. Let me explain:
opinion: achcharu.org
achcharu.org (ach) is a Sri Lankan blog aggregator. It collects syndicated content from various blogger websites and other aggregators such as kottu.org. ach gives a better snapshot the sri lankan blogosphere than other blog aggregators - hence the phrase "meta meta aggregator".
I feel that it's a better alternative to http://kottu.org (kottu), in terms of technology and usability. ach allows users to comment on listed blog post topics very discretely in the form of tags. ach also syndicates several blogs which have been banned in kottu.

opinion: journalism 2.0 in the context of web 2.0
this is a reply to
The Need to Transit in blink.lk which was a reply to a comment i had made in blink.lk titled "Journalism 2.0"
i disagree with opinion blink.lk is endorsing:
Journalism 2.0 is all about journalists like me using these applications in an innovative manner to process stories. We are not the techies we are the practitioners and we have to make the transition fast or the techs will get in first and take over our profession and change the craft into something unrecognizable.this is a very stereotypical and superficial opinion. if journalism 2.0 is journalism with web 2.0 then can introduce carpentry 2.0 as standard carpentry with web 2.0? would techs take over carpentry to something that is unrecognizable? are techs disallowed to express their opinion? as in, only journalists should be allowed to be in media?
