Timing is everything

Monday, March 26, 2007 by Dave Winer.

I've been writing about ways to integrate blogging and news for many years. I keep coming back to it, hoping "now's the time" -- only to find out that it isn't. 

Well it appears now is the time. Maybe blogging has matured to the point where it's earned the respect of mainstream press, or maybe they've fallen far enough into the hole created by the Internet that they're giving up some of their assumptions about how news is reported. No matter, people are listening and listening is good.  

So I'm going to keep pumping ideas out, and hoping they help bridge the gap.
