Unfortunately it's been all work no play for me this week. I have a final on Friday that I need a 65 or better on, so I'm not leaving anything to chance. Normally this kind of grade wouldn't be a problem, but this class has been an endless debacle for me.
What is this guy talking about?
See, I think the future of periodical publishing, and of journalism itself, will be built mostly by individual bloggers and indivdidual blogs, and by a new breed of publishers who harvest and republish (and, yes, pay for) goods from the wide open ranges where bloggers roam, and post, free. The day will come when the top print publications will be comprised of prose and pictures provided by blogs and bloggers.
The same thing will happen with television. And music. Movies too. (Although the rights-clearing mess is a huge hold-up there.)
How many blogs are there that are strictly content creators and not filters for other sources? (e.g. newspapers) By content creators I mean no posts of the form "Here, look at this link I found and here is what I think..."
