if you\’re going to take potshots at big media — e.g. at the newspaper publishers who you suggest should have \”made every effort to be different in a way that leverages brains, technology and size.

its ridiculous to suggest that newspapers and other media companies aren\’t beating their won brains out trying to differentiate and survive and prosper. of course they are. it\’s so tiring and boring to see all the digital-guru-hotshots imply that the answers are just there if anyone would look. tell us, mark, tell us.

Everything is gravitating towards the internet and much information is found on blogs before the newspaper so I wonder how the newspaper business will survive unless they embrace the change of focusing on the Internet to reach readers.

When I blog on my real estate blog I am a little of all three.
