Quora’s misogyny problem
is a tempest out of the teapot, and it’s a perfect example of why user based websites need to change the way they think about targeted users.

In an unusual partnership, The Washington Post, the New York Times and software developer Mozilla will team up to create digital tools that will make it easier for readers to post comments and photos on news sites and to interact with journalists and each other.
The two-year development project will be funded by a $3.89 million grant from the John S and James L Knight Foundation, the Miami-based philanthropic organization that specialises in media and the arts.
As described by its developers, the as-yet-unnamed system aims to standardize the many different community engagement

Eric Meyer is an expert on the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) system used to control the appearance of web documents. He’s the author of multiple books on CSS, and the chaperone
of the css-discuss mailing list. His daughter, Rebecca, passed away, and her family asked that those attending memorial services wear purple, her favourite color. Dominique Hazaël-Massieux requested that a purple be added to the CSS color list be named Becca Purple
in her memory. Eric suggested that it be named rebeccapurple because his daughter wanted everyone to call her Rebecca after she turned six, and she was six for almost twelve hours. Today, a co-chair of the CSS Working Group announced approval of the change. From now on, rebeccapurple means #663399 — via redwolf.newsvine.com
