Oil spill at your desk

I mentioned on 5X8 this morning that BP was going to provide a live video feed of the Gulf oil spill.

That feed — dubbed SpillCam — is now live. You can find it here, although it’s obvious the oil is spewing out of the earth faster than the bytes are traveling through the InterTubes.

BP has also put up a new video. It’s about how great the Louisiana oyster business is, and how helpful the oil company has been.

Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
