Twitter Day 3: Tracking my demise

There's something odd about using new media to keep track of the ongoing implosion of old media.

Here's a Twitter feed you can use to keep a track of media layoffs in Canada: http://twitter.com/CanMediaLayoffs

Sharp eyes will note it includes news about massive job cuts announced Tuesday by my employer (Incidentally, if anyone is looking for a great photographer, I know one I can recommend).

One might also notice new media isn't unaffected by the economy - Toronto blog Torontoist.com will soon be shut.

And for you visual types, here's a somewhat depressing little interactive tool to keep a track of global newspaper cuts, courtesy of some folks across the pond.
