I wonder if ex-pro-journos would deign to work with bloggers if both Seattle papers went under. http://bit.ly/3DAD
I realized today and wondered if it was just my imagination, that I had never experienced the feeling of respect from a prof journo.
It was a negative day, for me, mes amis, so it's likely that I overlooked many examples of such.
Computerworld on why Apple doesn't like netbooks. Perhaps its lack of margins. But it might really be estheics. http://bit.ly/3xxu
Apple hated the web at first. Wasn't wysiwyg. Didn't conform to UI guidelines. Embracing web meant abandoning principles they believed in.
Speaking of which, 25 years ago today, the Mac was rolled out in Cupertino. I was there. Great day.
Surprised (and pleased) to see usually objectonable wingnut bloggers soften to praise Obama for opening govt. http://bit.ly/yihH
Pretty sure I figured out where yesterday's negativeness came from. Blog post to follow.

@jayrosen_nyu -- have you seen http://www.minnpost.com/
Steve Gillmor thinks FriendFeed may win the "API Wars." I say It's the users dummy. And Twitter has em. http://bit.ly/GIXz
There's a diff betw Dvorak and Scott Rosenberg. Same with bloggers. Some cut corners and are basically clowns. Others don't and are not.
BTW -- Dvorak is a gentleman and really nice thoughtful guy in person. On the web and in his podcast, he's an actor, he plays an asshole.
I am not an actor, I do not cut corners, if you met me in person you'd find I say the same things as I say online.
If, in analyzing the blogosphere, one lumps the actors with the non-actors, you'd completely miss the story.
"RSS is an example, but the same is true of blogs, wikis & other social software that threatens the corporate structure" http://bit.ly/eWIo
Movie of Dvorak the real person explaining how Dvorak the actor works his magic. http://bit.ly/n1PW
