Process Journalism!  The idea of whether or not it is ok to constantly tweak and edit a news story is something gooseGrade.com obviously believes in.  There are some people however who do not feel this is a good thing.  Follow the conversation:

Techcrunch - The Morality And Effectiveness Of Process Journalism

New York Times - Get the Tech Scuttlebutt! (It Might Even Be True.)

Jeff Jarvis' Take - Product v. process journalism: The myth of perfection v. beta culture.

Nestor has been working hard on the API and now it's ready!  Any developers wanting to build apps around gooseGrade can do so now.  The documentation is a bit rough still but it gets the job done.  This is the same API that the amazing coders from BraveNewCode used to build the Wordpress plugin.

Ideas for apps:

• A most helpful editor widget.  Least helpful could be interesting too.
• An app that sends a direct message on twitter when you have a new correction.
• An Apple Dashboard app showing your blog health.

What are your ideas?

Share and discuss them in the API forums.

Lots of work to do to "Perfect" gooseGrade but we have indeed launched! If you'd like to play with the grading tool feel free to post corrections to the post. Also just like with any new site we are constantly tweaking certain elements. If you see anything that needs some attention please email us at feedback@gooseGrade.com

gooseGrade it!
