hmm, while this guy’s assessment of “the media business” on the net is accurate (duh), i think that his statements that “The Internet as media has failed,” and “There is no future” are some of the stupidest things i’ve heard recently. for the most part, imo, the internet as media hasn’t even been discovered by most people yet (business people and users)… suffice to say, that the net is not a broadcast medium, and defined on those terms, of course it’s a failure – that’s no the nature of the medium. it’s painfully obvious to see who’s doing it right. the net as media isn’t going away anytime soon. it’s barely even started.
