: Well, I think there is some level of apprehension about what this might mean to the users of social median. However, we will have to wait and see.

: I think the problem is that traditional media is simply slow to embrace the changing technologies that we are all obviously engrossed in. Many traditional media outlets are taking strides to incorporate new media into their routines. It's a slow process, especially given that traditional media moguls aren't exactly known to be the most forward thinking.

Journalism will not die, it will change, and indeed it has changed. Most of what we get from our "news providers" is info-tainment at this point. It's the Bill O'Reilly's and Ketih Olbermann's of the world giving us their opinions about the news. What I think we are seeing is a watershed change in the way the news is communicated, not the death of any singular form thereof.

We will always need journalists, because there is most certainly a level of professionalism that much of new media lacks. While we on the inside may think that twitter is the best place to get our breaking news, we must remember that there are hundreds of millions of people in the US alone who do not use twitter, or digg, or delicious, or social|median.

: "WordPress is quickly becoming the standard software for the majority of blogs. This fact makes every major release of the software seem like a huge event, but the thing is that this time it is. WordPress 2.7 comes with a huge number of changes, a good chunk of them making some older plugins redundant. This will be a huge upgrade for all blog owners."

@michaelfidler Indeed! I'm sure there's a disconnect here! But, I simply cannot parse his flamepost, his problem, his defensiveness, and his lazy generalizing. I won't have it! And, I'm sure I'll forget all about it in a few weeks.

@centernetworks still refuses to reply when he was asked directly by me to explain despite complaining that no one asked! Seems that it must only be flamebait. It is unfortunate because I am turned away from CN now.

@Thechannelc I only respond to a DM if I need to. I will reply to a direct question even if only to say I don't know, as I like to be polite. However, I only follow a very few people by SMS, so I don't see tweets when I'm away from my computer, unless I scroll back thru them, and I don't usually have time. I DO see DMs though, as Tweetdeck puts them in a separate column.

: If someone was Guy Kawasaki I wouldn't expect a reply but here's what's interesting, Guy replies! If there's someone who deserves the badges he's giving out, it's Guy himself. He kicks ass.

I know we don't have to follow everyone back but I do it anyways and I'll DM new followers. No answer in 1 week = goodbye. Come now, atleast say "hi".
