Old Media Decides, “If you Can’t Beat ‘em, Join ‘em!” (Web 2.0, that is.)

After years of contempt for the blogosphere, it seems the old media has recently decided they’d like in on the action, at least in reporting the 2008 elections. Mashable has reported on cooperative efforts between YouTube and CNN, Facebook and ABC, Fox and MySpace, and now Digg and CBS.

ZDNet is reporting, “Google and Matsushita’s Panasonic unit are jointly developing televisions that display Internet content such as photos and videos.”

Nearly all of the TV and print media have had websites on the internet for some time, but perhaps they are finally beginning to realize what we, social networkers, have known for a long time: The value of of readers’ input and interaction: PRICELE$$.

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
