  1. great day of meetings with @benbrown & @spenceke in Austin re @media_bugs. Now: stuck in Long Beach airport, which lacks dinner facilities.
  2. Later today: off to Austin to meet w/MediaBugs developer. Excited to kick the project into high gear!
  3. @steveouting glossy paper? That's like the old one about "big problem newspapers have is smudgy ink"; new ink will solve all problems!
  4. @lorakolodny fair enough! I wasn't criticizing the institutions themselves, more how 3d parties are describing the ventures...
  5. @geodog thanks for coming. And for getting all my jokes and references :-)
  6. Q from @digiphile re @media_bugs last night: how will we grow in today's distributed network? A: do our best to be distributed ourselves!

  11. thanks @sjcobrien for thoughtful column today on "Say Everything" and how innovations happen http://bit.ly/3HV2J8
  12. @LizzieWurtzel thanks for that Rand report link. Fascinating stuff. But it's from 2001. Wonder how these trends have evolved since.
  13. And (re @kbandersen exchange) when I say "print will be like live theater" I say it w/love. As former thtr critic. Not a dreadful fate...
  14. Updates on imprisoned Iran "blogfather" Hossein Derakhshan from @cfarivar http://is.gd/4M5NJ and Ethan Zuckerman http://is.gd/4M5Q4
  15. @KBAndersen Web won't "kill" print, just kick away its abnormal profit margins, force it into niches. Print will be like live theater.
  16. @jayrosen_nyu very true, though in 1996 the contributors would've been from Table Talk. Same basic idea though!
  17. I'm speaking on blogs, journalism, MediaBugs this Weds., 11/4 at 6 pm at UC Berkeley Journalism school: http://is.gd/4L9RT See you there?
  18. Totally fascinating engineering analysis of Bay Bridge failure (via @laughingsquid) http://bit.ly/2YDNt5 the patch was a kludge!
