Permalink Reply by Andrew Zahler on August 18, 2009 at 3:15pm: Will there eventually be a way to integrate links saved on Publish2 with my page? I tried dropping a Publish2 custom widget in the text box, but it didn't take the javascript.

Otherwise, I like what I see. I think the emphasis on curated information (like The Big Story) will move this away from just-another-social-network territory.; ▶ Reply to This

And you've got the right idea -- we're going to be building Publish2 Newsgroups for things like tutorials, tools, and other topics as news breaks!; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Scott Blanchard on August 19, 2009 at 8:41am: Ryan, I have the same problem as Andrew -- when I take the widget code from my P2 links page and put it in the textbox on my profile page, I don't get a list of my links (as in the widget preview); I get a hyperlink line that says "More of Scott Blanchard's links." Any ideas?; ▶ Reply to This

I think the Publish2 integration is the best step forward. Wired Journalists needed people to get paid to work on the site. It's too much for an all-volunteer staff in an industry like ours.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Barney Lerten on August 18, 2009 at 11:10pm: Could you explain more about Publish2 to folks (esp. not in newspapers) far more familiar with Ning than Publish2?

I got the note today and thought it meant in subtext, "Got tired of Ning, moved to a new, supportive environment/platform," etc.

Lo and behold - it's still on Ning! So Publis2 is the 'power' but not the 'platform' eh?

Maybe I'll understand more after looking around here some more.; ▶ Reply to This
