You may remember I mentioned Sarah Meyers' excellent blog a few days ago, and her tech newscast, PopSnap. I think both blog & newscast are great, top-notch stuff, but Uncov called her "embarrassingly vapid", which I think was a bit uncalled for, not to mention untrue. Sarah's only been doing video journalism online since Spring last year, and if you check the archives of her stuff, she's come a long way fast (and some of her past stuff's bloody good too). If you read her blog, anyone can see she's put a lot of thought and a lot of work into this. She's serious about it, and wants to make PopSnap a real heavyweight news site. According to Wikipedia, she not only hosts PopSnap but writes & produces it as well - that's a heck of a lot of skill to develop in a relatively short time. Sarah took Uncov's remark with remarkably good grace, saying she liked him & wished he'd update more. Personally, I commented on her blog with a bit of constructive criticism, playing the devil's advocate, but I'm afraid I'm just making her self conscious when basically there's nothing wrong that more experience won't fix. D'oh!
In short - Sarah: massive kudos. Everyone else: Go read! Go watch!
