I love this piece by John Naughton up to the point where he says Ben Hammersley coined the term podcasting. We have the archive, in pointers from this page, to show how the name was chosen. This is even better than contemporaneous notes, the decisions were made online, so the record is perfect, not subject to interpretation. (Unfortunately, Yahoo is taking the archive offline in December, but the Internet Archive has copies.) Hammersely's use of the term in a story is analogous to someone anticipating that Apple's phone would be called iPhone. It would not be correct to say that such a person gave the product its name. I normally don't comment on this, but Naughton is such a careful journalist, no doubt he took the info from the Wikipedia page on podcasting, which is incorrect. At the very least the Wikipedia page should note that their version is contested. #June 12: Journalists as public editors are like men deciding women’s health policy.

- On Twitter, Anthony DeRosa requested my turkey soup recipe. #
- Boil the remains of turkey carcass. Add spices, basil, oregano, hot pepper, whatever you like. Let sit overnight. #
- Remove carcass, any bones, messy stuff. #
- Chop leftover turkey bits, add to broth.#
- Brown onions, garlic, mushrooms, add.#
- Chop celery, carrots, leftover green beans. #
- Simmer while drinking White Russians and watching HBO and Netflix.#
- After a few hours cook some rotini pasta, add to soup. Simmer for about an hour.#
- Eat. Enjoy. 💥#
- But it's an improvisation. If you're inspired to add something weird, go ahead. It's still going to be turkey soup no matter what you do to it. #
