Credit due:

Very pleased today to see that Sree Sreenivasan's column on Poynter gives credit to Neil Reisner's website.
Neil, a long time IRE trainer, Miami Herald CAR specialist, now professor of journalism at Florida International University, has been a friend and inspiration for a long time. I have linked before to his 'Finding (almost) anybody' page; Sree links to more.
Neil's insight on finding and using public records is unsurpassed. Except, of course, by Florida Times Union's Joe Adams, who's quoted in an entry from Neil's site here.

Yesterday I tried to blog about Dave Winer's comments on why Dan Rather should blog, but couldn't get in to Blogger, so it's on my Infomanicac blog.
