Pew: fewer use newspapers to follow candidates
Last week a Pew Report survey found only 31 percent of people surveyed learn about candidates and their campaigns from newspapers. Newspaper's share fell to fourth behind local TV news (42%), cable news network (38%), and nightly network news (35%). Nightly network news and newspapers had drops of 10 percent and 9 points, respectively, from the 2000 survey.
Cable news network gained 4 points from the 2000 survey. Internet gained 4 points to 13% while Web sites of news organizations accounted for 11% among those surveyed. The category Web sites of news organizations was not in the 2000 survey.

Giving Furl a try
I prefer RSS and aggregators (bloglines for me) than a browser for checking in on bloggers and news sites that I like. But I'm going to give Furl a chance.
Here's why: Furl is a new web browsing tool that lets you save and organize thousands of useful web pages (you know, the ones you want to save for future reference but then can never find again) in a personal "web page filing cabinet".
