Someone once said that we'll know we've arrived in the information age when our desire for news becomes a continuous stream of information. Even now, I feel at the fringe of such an age. Blogs have inspired meta-blogs, and now even campaigns have been invited to participate in abc's new
notepad feature. It's all about increased access to information, which has to be a good thing.
On a related note, my karma at
slashdot just hit excellent. And, yes, it's a little geeky, but hey...don't knock it till you've tried it, right? Increasingly, news is becoming more and more slashdot oriented: tiny blobs of information coated with a bunch of greasy opinions. In a sense, the political campaigns are much like a slashdot conversation with the journalists as moderators. Now if only you could have
meta-moderation in real life everything would be better.
