Back in May we asked readers to join an unusual experiment in participatory
journalism. We published a draft
<
http://www.continuousblog.net/2005/05/10000_brainiacs_2.html> of my article
about "continuous computing" on a satellite blog and invited blog visitors
to leave comments, corrections, and suggestions. As comments rolled in, we
inserted them back into the draft itself in the form of pop-up notes. Then,
when it came time to lay out the article for print, we chose some of the
best comments and printed them in the magazine, right alongside the main
article and my own footnotes.
