Very kind mention of IfYouOnly in the Observer today in a column by John Naughton on whether the death of the web, journalism or pretty much anything is overrated.

“it would be a mistake to write off the web as a medium for serious, long-form journalism. There’s a vast quantity of high-quality narrative journalism on it. The Guardian’s Bobbie Johnson recently came up with an ingenious way of alerting people to this resource. He set up a Twitter account @IfYouOnly with the motto “If you only read one thing today, make it this”. His aim: to highlight and link to a single piece of gripping, powerful and memorable writing each weekday.”

Worth also referencing this post by Alexis on the killer technology meme, which itself references the work of David Edgerton, who we interviewed a couple of years ago on the Tech Weekly podcast.

Anyway, the Observer nod has pushed IfYouOnly past 1,000 followers, which is great news.

Only one thing, John — I’m not “the Guardian’s Bobbie Johnson” any more!
