Lied about the site. Apparently our host can't do anything about it until the end of the billing period. Thinking of switching to better hosting. Any suggestions?

Apologies about the website troubles. We'll have it up and running again next week, hopefully with some fresh album reviews and editorial content. Diatribe still really needs a webmaster. Anyone got skillz and spare time?

Discussion of the day: Twitter wins out for Iran crisis coverage because people prefer a more human story, but at the expense of accuracy that aloof, objective journalism provides? Compare:

"The big thing these days is to get an "A" without ever having gone to a lecture. When the crème de la crème of an entire generation is boycotting the formal model of pedagogy in our educational institutions, the writing is on the wall."

Boom. Roasted.

There is a huge clash between the model of learning offered by big universities and the natural way that young people who have grown up digital learn.

We really need to overhaul the website. Got the graphic design team, but does anyone know where we can find a web programmer?

Gripping.

Twitter pins people to little screens, truncates thoughts and attention spans, encourages people to write stupid stuff, etc. (Also, in combination with “twitter,” the verb “tweet” suggests “weenie,” “tit,” and “twit.”)
