"Here are six best practices on how to use YouTube’s video service in newsrooms and a couple of pointers to keep in mind while browsing play-lists."
One they forgot: You can subscribe to the YouTube "channels" of various news sources, like Al Jazeera English. You can get a weekly single e-mail that shows you what was uploaded by your subscribed channels in the past week. Very handy.

"News.me is in the category of apps (Percolate, Flud, formerly Summify) that cut through the din of social media and serve personalized story recommendations based on what a user’s friends are sharing. But News.me wants to stand out by becoming its own social network. A user can import friends from Twitter and Facebook, but what happens in the app stays in the app. Buzzfeed-style ‘reactions’ on stories (ha!, wow, awesome, sad, really?) are not visible elsewhere — like Instagram, News.me has no desktop interface."
