I’m off work this week, and with my next trip away not until late Novemeber this means I have a lot of time to kill.
After getting some much needed exercise running around the countryside this morning I decided I would spend the rest of the day keeping up with news regarding Hurricane Gustav and the looming transfer deadline in the Premier League. It’s been interesting keeping up with them both.
My method of choice for finding out the dealings in the transfer market has been a live blog on the BBC Sport website. I also enjoy reading these, especially as they accept input from texters. It’s a great big conversation centred around the news.
Keeping up with Hurricane Gustav has been made slightly more difficult just because of the sheer number of sources of information to choose from. In the end I resorted to Sky News on the TV while keeping half an eye on Twitter in the background, although Twitter seemed slightly more distracted by the goings on the Republican National Convention.
A few years ago I remember watching the news while Katrina struck New Orleans and the flooding began. The level of information available was no where near on this scale. I think this is definitely one of the ways the new media has made the world that little bit better…
