This is a journalist’s dream come true! You can now discover which organizations (or at least their IP address) have added or edited entries on Wikipedia using the WikiScanner. Virgil Griffith, a graduate student at Cal Tech, developed the tool. Why did he do it? In his list of FAQs for the media he writes, “To create minor public relations disasters for companies and organizations I dislike.” Check out what Wal-Mart, ExxonMobil, the CIA, and the U.S. House of Representatives have been editing on Wikipedia. Gotta love the web for the transparency it brings.

Seven Hearst-Argyle markets launched a new social networking site that is focused around local high school sports. HighSchoolPlaybook.com provides an environment where teens can share video and photos about their schools’ sports teams, cheer leading and bands. Many of the stations have even hired a group of student sideline reporters who are using HD cameras to shoot local sports stories and reports for the site. According to Broadcasting and Cable, Hearst-Argyle plans to license the service to non-Hearst-Argyle stations in the next year. As part of the launch, Hearst-Argyle also launched five new YouTube channels for the stations involved in HighSchoolPlaybook. (Disclosure: I work for Hearst-Argyle and was involved in the launch of the new site.)
