Mathew Ingram - 10,000 Words http://www.mediabistro.com/10000words Where Journalism and Technology Meet Copyright 2013 Thu, 23 May 2013 17:40:39 +0000 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 The Most Tweeted 10,000 Words Posts of 2011 This was a busy year for 10,000 Words. It saw the departure of founder Mark S. Luckie as a regular contributor and the addition of most, if not all, of our current bloggers. What stayed the same, however, was our commitment to sharing great content with you, our readers.

In honor of the end of this year, I’ve compiled a list of the top 11 posts on 10,000 Words. Those that made the list are the top-tweeted posts, not the top stories in terms of pageviews. I used this form of generating the top 11 posts because I think it’s a fair representation of what our tech-savvy readers, many of whom use Twitter, found the most interesting, useful, and worthy of being read and shared.

2012 will be filled with even more posts on the latest tools, gadgets and ideas you can use to enhance your reporting. But we’re always looking to improve. Is there a topic you’d like to see 10,000 Words cover? Let us know in the comments section below or on Twitter.
