April 17, 2010
Gawker posting: How (and why) blogs are becoming more and more like newspapers. Author says social networking is contributing to this phenomenon b/c traditional blog form of rehashed news and snark doesn’t play well as at Tweet:
“Blogs, like this one, used to get away with quickly repackaging content and adding a penis joke. But, as our proprietor Nick Denton explained in an internal email, “any treatment [of a story] can work, really, except for the old-school blog item, that rehashed news story with a dash of puerile snark. Nobody links to that.”
Some provocative comments in reply to the posting as well.
