(Read time = 3 minutes) Articles you may have missed from some oft overlooked sources, and some stalwarts. Commentaries on Facebook, Twitter… telephones and Earth’s own aliens- and giants like Buffett, Apollo 11 and the BBC . A perfect diversion for a mid-business day read. Let me know if you have others to include on the list.
THE MONTHLIES
1. MIT Technology Review: “Privacy in the age of Facebook”
2. Fast Company: “Daddy Givebucks” Three years ago, Warren Buffett gave each of his kids $1 billion to give away — suddenly thrusting them into the philanthropic elite. Here’s what they learned.
3. Scientific American: “40th Anniversary of Apollo 11” Neil Armstrong interview, NASA features, the moon landing through Soviet eyes. All this in more. SA editors have compiled a plethora of content that speaks to mankind’s giant leap.
4. The Economist: “Cutting the cord: America Loosing Its Landlines” The decline of newspapers has been much reported, but another staple of American life is being dealt a death blow: the telephone landline. Some estimates suggest the last cord will be cut sometime in 2025.
5. Discover Magazine: “Earth’s Own Aliens: They Light Up & Live in the Deep” Marine biologist Edie Widder’s underwater spy camera is an underwater SETI, finally giving humans a chance to see the freaky world of deep-ocean bioluminescent animals.

ONLINE, the DAILIES and WEEKLIES
1. New York Times: “PR2.0 in Silicon Valley”
2. Slate.com: “Domain Names – Don’t Pay”
3. Business Week: “Twitter Dominates CMO Social Network Plans”
BLOGS WORTH A LOOK
“Old Media” Blogs the New Media – what I like is the fundamental old journalism rigor of sourcing/checking. doesn’t mean they always get it right but does provide reading that’s a step removed from citizen journalism.
1. dot.com BBC News The web at 20 and other topical technology conversations.
2. WSJ Tech Blog: Digital topics by the baston of print
3. Harvard Business Review Several and varied blogs on business, technology topics.
Enjoy!
