Bloggers as Media

Have you ever noticed that many blogs will be treated as the same with the media? And media companies will react by hiring bloggers. But why emulates as exciting multimedia? The same media is so great that inflated & redundant are buried in debt. How is it possible that a humor blog networks based on open source software will ever need to raise $ 30 million?

The problem is that it is difficult to live differently and can operate at scale. Finally, you will be that your claimed hatred. If you're good at pr you can pretend that it is different for the report is created, but at the end of the day, when a site is great there is no incentive for the creation of the mark. The game becomes somewhat produces both exposure, as you can sell to brand advertisers. The content can be trimmed attitude, but the kernel is substantially the same.

Bloggers may indicate that hype cycle hype, should not be made, but action speaks words we can say we do not need any more publicity Scoble (and reservations), but rather a more filtered. The problem is no incentive for publisher front. Control how outraged TechCrunch comment freetards was about the idea of a $ 4 per month premium offers by Kevin Rose.

If people are not willing to pay for quality, rather than pay by sending an e-mail to wade through more spam, scams & repeat.

Here you will find 2 posts from TechCrunch in Yahoo!. Two published the same day. Both say the same. There is no great difference between them than what I could do a good markov generator.

And, of course, cat fights. Spam.

A convenient spin

Even worse is that many Web sites that exist just to sell an existing view in the world and not a pragmatic vision of the world:

Million words channel brings addressing. No mass. You can reach them all. MAD men is a shock, and still only considered from 2% of people in the United States.

Mcw bears silos, angry tribes and island communities. Fox News makes a fortune pit people against each other. Talkingpointsmemo is custom tailored to people who are safe, so that the second page is incorrect. You can spend the whole day consuming media and never come across an idea that does not agree, do not like or do not want to see.

Bias in the media & style blow-by-blow lead people to worry about inconsistent crap, as their political ideology, where they can write is based on a list. This makes them an insignificant differences while remaining blinds for important things, such as systematic fraud, supported and encouraged by the two leading political parties. Claim inconsistent details become increasingly addictive, the place where it is completely owned because the fault must be shipped "them".

Media as a conduit for fraud & misinformation

You can get this confused with the same media (who claims to be legitimate) have no problem with running ads for all fraud? Not so surprising that the same media requirements for the protection of citizens from purchasing onder tries to blend the ads for such misappropriation navigation to sell readers which River? This is what you would expect from the magazine Newsweek?
