Are you listening, Obamateers? This blogpost arose in reaction to the umpteenth lazy bit of complacency by a blogger that "dead tree" media are dying because they don't innovate or deliver what readers want. The NYT is innovating more and delivering way lots more than said blogger. The problem is the economic model, and that's a problem I don't have an answer for either. Really, bloggers blaming newspapers for their economic woes are like middle-class college Republicans, martinis in hand, tut-tutting over a homeless guy who wants some Thunderbird.

I have been eyeing this Web 2.0 thing for years through my best pair of entrepreneurial glasses and still haven't figured out a way to extract a decent ROI from it. :( Maybe if world leaders adopt new policies designed to making me more happy? I might get back to that once I'm done reading all those Edge entries which you kindly linked to. :o) Alas, I have my doubts…
