Beyond Bits O’ NewMedia

As cool as Bit O’ NewMedia is (no boasting here), I am sorry to say that it will never alone be a sufficient source of information for the cutting-edge new media professional. The diversity within the industry makes it impossible to have a one-size-fits-all information outlet.

I like to think of Bits O’ NewMedia as a pulse reading for the New Media industry. I won’t give you a step-by-step tutorial on how to build an actionscript calendar in Flash but I WILL point you to someone who does and discuss the pros and cons of using Flash versus AJAX and PHP.

I think this type of analysis is important for every NewMedite but you will also need to consistently read other blogs that speak more to your specific area of expertise. I have a list of the blogs I read over in the right hand column. I check them every morning and (I’ve said it a million times) I use NetVibes and so should you!
