Any day ,Fact is your system can easily be gamed ~ A comment on Slashdot about Digg

The BIG Question :

What this Revolution is about ?

Is it about Content and Quality ?

Or is it about Reach and Distribution ?

When it comes to content and Quality ,Is New media Fundamentally different from Old or just an Extension of

OLD Media

For a reporter Content of NEWS is important , Medium is secondary .As long as my

content remains un altered I don’t care if they Publish it on Blog , News Paper, TV or even

on salami sheets

Distribution Revolution has occurred indeed ..

But How can we make it a to next level ?

Any Thoughts ?? Lets Talk About It ….

Thanks !!
