Good and bad.
The Doc Searls Weblog : Saturday, November 20, 2004
Some links from the blogosphere, courtesy of Technorati, which seems much faster these days (disclaimer). At this point, a few hours after the event, there's much better thinking-out-loud in the 'sphere than in The Media (or so it seems to me, anyway).
Well, on the one hand, at least he sees fit to finally include a disclaimer, at least for his involvement in Technorati, though he still makes the assumption that everyone knows about his various friendships and doesn't need to post disclaimers for them.
On the other, we still get the heavy-handed value judgements. How is constantly comparing blogging with the Media and oddly always favoring your side any different from the Media comparing themselves with blogging and always choosing their side?
Answer: it's not. Meet the new media, same as the old media.
Comments
More than that, Doc is just full of crap. Here's some of the expert wisdom he cited as being better than the mainstream media:
"Some fans will surely score some money from this, as there has to have been many innocent bystanders. But the dumbasses on the court, well they deserved to get socked. NBA is gonna be hurtin’ financially from this, and public relations better have a good spin. Suspensions are coming for sure, I wonder if Artest or anyone will get a 10 game or more suspension."
Only a fool thinks this is enlightened commentary.
