“CORRECTION: The article about Yahoo and Flickr was written by Gizmodo’s Mat Honan. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said Honan was with Engadget and misspelled the author’s first name as Matt and last name as Honen. Also, an earlier version of this correction incorrectly spelled the author’s last name and didn’t specify both names were misspelled in the article.”

AdWeek requires you to share certain stories in order to finish reading them. Why would I want to share something I can’t read? And is there anything more desperate a publisher can do? Gross.

Update: This is allegedly bug, Google tells Nieman Lab. But I’m not sure how the headline “To continue reading this page please share it” being entered into the code somewhere would be a bug. Alas, let’s hope it goes away.

But did you know that in Afghanistan, two American officers were killed yesterday by members of the Afghan military within a secure building — and six more were killed today — after nearly a week of unrest following the accidential burning of the Koran by Americans cleaning out a military base?

Meanwhile, in Syria, the government continues to murder its citizens in an attempt to avoid the same fate that met the governments of Egypt and Libya. Earlier this week, China and Russia blocked action by the United Nations Security Council. Several Western Journalists have been killed.

fascinated:

Kickstumbler lets you stumble into Kickstarter projects you’d never see otherwise.

Kickstarter is the coolest new thing on the web that I know. When not making Hype Machine, I’ve been obsessively browsing and funding projects. I quickly noticed though, that I haven’t been exploring more than just a few categories. I knew there must be a way out of my comfort zone.

Instead of sleeping last weekend, I made Kickstumbler, an easy way to explore random projects on Kickstarter. You can explore within a category, or across the entire site, for maximum delight. I’ve also made a continuous video channel that plays the brilliant videos where project creators share their missions.

What do you think?
