Wired: As BuzzFeed hits 200 million views a month, CEO Jonah Peretti is launching a new research and development lab to foster serendipity. Headquartered in the company’s new San Francisco bureau, The Open Lab for Journalism Technology and the Arts will be dedicated to coming up with new tools and technology that will benefit reporting and journalism — and releasing them as open source. BuzzFeed will bring on five fellows to work on interdisciplinary projects. Under the direction of bureau chief Mat Honan, these fellows will be encouraged to tinker in whatever way they want to figure new stuff out.
