Well I don't. Well actually I do, but not for this. I'm concerned that
all we're doing is pumping up the volume. I think, like you, I want
everyone to be an editor, everybody to be a journalist. But I'm
concerned that we'll end up with N people reading N magazines. Or to put
it another way, every channel will have an audience of one.

But I'm struggling here, I have an insatiable appetite for news, but I'm
skipping way more headlines than I'm clicking through. The signal to
noise ratio is just too low. In a way, I'm trying to find ways of
getting a better (for me) selection of raw news.
