War News Information Online

Nick Denton's list of the most useful on-line news sources is remarkable in that it totally avoids content from major media: (thanks Amateur Hour: The "me" in media)

Move over, CNN; this is the web war. I've turned off the cable television news. It's repetitive, and there's no sense of the chronology of events. On the web, Drudge has been weak. Hours go by without an update. Here's the essential web viewing.

· Command Post    [minute-by-minute links to news as it breaks around the web, and summaries of the main cable news]

· Agonist    [as above, though the guy takes time off to sleep]

· Instapundit    [Reynolds is being out-posted by the Command Post and Agonist, but he injects more attitude, and Instapundit is the place to go if you hate Chirac more than Saddam.]

· Reporters' log    [raw posts from BBC journalists]

· BBC News    [best online news site]

· MSNBC    [best US cable news website]

· Where is Raed?    [blogger in Baghdad]

There are many more more links on Nick's page. This is my jumping off point when I want to surf the war scene.

THIS JUST IN: Al-Jazeera is now publishing a website in english. Additionally, Al-Hayat, a well known Arabic newspaper is also available in translation here. A gentleman on the interesting poeple list opined that "My impression is that the content on the Al-Jazeera's English-language site
is selected and repurposed for an English-language audience; Al-Hayat's appears closer to the Arabic-language original."

ART/SPAM: Spamradio

Thanx to Adam Curry for reminding me of the joys of spamradio. Take a robotic text reading device, have it read spam messages accompanied by techno backing muziks, stir gently, and you have spamradio. Indescribable, uselessly essential.
