An excellent chain of links
Through Crime & Federalism, I found an interesting blog by California private investigator Tamara Thompson called PI News Link. Ms. Thompson has clearly done some hard work searching and thinking about finding information about people on the internet. Lawyers and others would do themselves a favor tuning in to what she has to say.
On a subject I discussed earlier today, Ms. Thompson links to a site called Regret the Error, where Canadian Craig Silverman keeps track of news stories that went wrong in North America. Like this story, were the New York Times clarified that James Forman did not seek reparations for crimes perpetrated BY generations of blacks, but rather crimes AGAINST them, or this story from the Washington Post that claimed that 25 year old musician Derek Trucks had toured with Bob Marley (who died when Trucks was 2, they meant the other Bob (Dylan)). Many of these stories are a lot of fun, but Mr. Silverman also tackles bigger issues, like plagiarism at the San Franciso Chronicle.
