@bgoldberg My mistake. Now corrected. The link I followed to the commercial said "Japanese," but the YouTube comments confirm it's Korean.
@clairedwillett I think "broadcasting" had more value a few years ago when you had to really do some digging to find social media reports about breaking news events. Now we're awash in this stuff and merely broadcasting just doesn't cut it.
@Clynton Caines thanks for commenting! We try our best to respond to as many comments and tweets as we can, but unfortunately we miss some (or in this case, we don't see them in a timely manner). That said, no amount of engagement is enough and we're always trying to do better! Thanks for joining the conversation.
@DouglasCrets that's a good question. I'd prefer it to tweet the comment too (or at least as much as will fit) with the link to the story. I believe this is what livefyre does by default (livefyre is the commenting system we use) but I'm going to look into whether this setting can be changed. Thanks!
@adomanico01 Thanks for your comment. I said "African Americans and Latinos" because those are the minorities Jamelle Bouie identified as being under-represented in his original post, which started this whole discussion. http://jamellebouie.net/blog/2013/2/3/and-read-all-over That's not to say other minorities aren't under-represented, it's just that Bouie's analysis focused on data surrounding these groups in particular.
@jebbdykstra99 Sure thing! And I agree, this song barely scratches the surface of how dysfunctional copyright law is. I'd love to do a follow-up that gets into more detail about that. Glad you liked the song!
@EdoeCohen added. thanks!
Added optim.al, pinboard.in, and while start-u.ps wouldn't load, nycstartu.ps did. And sorry @rehbein but sites about hirsute Transylvanian little people don't really apply here.
@Pat Toohey Pardon the error, and thank you for pointing that out. it's now been corrected.
