Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Wikinews on Terror Plot
For the kinds of news stories where with more info becomes available over time I often find that Wikinews does the best job. I think that's the case for Police in Britain uncover suspected terrorist plot too. They're just repacking reporting from other others, sometimes adding interesting analysis, but the format just lends itself so well to these kinds of stories. I suspect that web sites from traditional news sources will start updating stories in such ways.
