Comments: Folo: Web 2.0 And Google
Gladdens me to see someone puncturing the Time YOU balloon.
Trackbacks seem to defeat me, so herewith my two pence...

Your site design isn't clunky; ignore those foolhardies.

Well, me again.
1. I got your narcissist point, the framing of the self issue, and I will definitely use it (and the great "Pornography of the self") in my own papers, with due reference to you; as all academic types, I focused on errors. You made my day, though.
2. Design. Simple is design. Your blog is canonical design at its purest. Tell those who disagree to choose the font and size and fancy features they love in the settings of their own browser. "Empowering the user" they call it.
3. Federated-Media is your David against Mountain View Goliath. Check it out.
4. Copying "FOIA" fifty times. I've found it: Select All; Copy; Paste, paste, paste. . . Select all five copies and Copy those; Paste, paste. . . Done! I had to google that acronym! I'm really sorry bloggers don't have the needed journalists rights in certain semi-dictatorial states, while they need it. Do you think that we shall come to free your people by toppling your government, and temporarily occupy you, waiting for a rule of law to apply there? Seriously: what is connection between local politics and the information industry?
5. Congratulations for leaving your job for ethical issues: I haven't seen many journalists do that here --- and I'm sensitive to those issues.
