The first article I read was the very short piece on Oakland, Calif., police clearing out the Occupy Oakland tent ctiy. It felt like there was more information that could have been given, but it was good for the assigned space. I just wish the quote had been used earlier. I also read the Rushdie v. Facebook article. I kind of wanted a direct quote of Salman Rushdie asking if Facebook would make J. Edgar Hoover change his online name to John Hoover. Also, the article had quite a bit of confusing backtracking, mentioning something then going back to what they were talking about two paragraphs before. I thought they had moved on, but apparently not. In the same way the article was a bit repetitive. Lastly, I love the Popeye quote at the end, it fit well and didn't end awkwardly.
