By Steve Safran 

  • Haiti trending on Twitter, as a 6.1 aftershock hits. Information on donations here.
  • Bill Gates is Tweeting @billgates (yes, it’s a verified account). He has 175,000 followers already. LR wouldn’t trade its 1,400 for any of ’em…
  • E-reader buzz nothing next to mobile explosion (Via Nieman)
  • Is Skiff Reader the savior for local papers? (Via Mathew Ingram)
  • Comic Relief: Whether you like newspapers or not, agree on this: the Globe & Mail makes a heck of a case for itself, if only because it does so a capella style to Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy.” Best… Plea… Ever. (Via Cyberjournalist)
