Linking second day stories to where they came from

Researching from the web and actually building up stories from the collected information formed many of the activities during the second day of Internet Investigation training.

The exercises were initially meant for practice by my own piece on 'Smart Kigali,' about turning cities into wireless hot spots clicked a good idea which I intend to develop into a full feature in few weeks.

The afternoon was back to refresh the tools on blogs, linking to sources and re-working the pages layouts ending with assignments for the next day, at least the day after tomorrow anyway, because it turns out that Wednesday is a holiday.

What I learned is that it is possible to come up with new and fresh sounding stories from materials gathered around previously written pieces the way bees gather nectar to make sweet testing honey. One thing to note though is that it shouldn't be a 'copy and paste' affair but each and every sentence should be written afresh.
