One more thing in web development. Users HATE long URLs. No matter how much you love your long name, keep the URL short . www.standardmedia.co.ke/myclip(a whooping 30 characters) www.cnn.com/ireport(19 characters) www.ireport.com(15 characters). Keep in mind that your site is not designed to exercise peoples fingers and memories. 2009/7/6 James Muendo <timrick@gmail.com>
Tony et al,
Am thinking its a good way of sourcing for news.Crowd-sourcing is the word to describe these.

Kenya and Nigeria are the most active countries on I report and other CNN programmes. Recently, the country earned recognition from one Hala Gorani, the I desk presenter. 'My Clip' will undoubtedly give Kenyans and indeed East Africans the opportunity to use the available stream to practise citizen journalism which is now becoming popular-if the Iranian experience was anything to go by.

A cheeky way for them to get news clips for free! (or do they offer a fee if aired?)

The standard group has launched its 'myclip' service: their version of CNN i-report.
What's your view of it?
