“We Look Forward To Your Participation In This Experiment In Democracy…”

Heroically undaunted by what happened the last time they tried it – in short, an achin’ world was introduced to Aaron Shakra, and never looked back – the ODE is doing this.

Best of luck to them – either it’s a marvellous smorgasbord of local journalism, or else the Spew section just got a whole lot easier to write. I’ll be tuning in regardless.

    They don’t have any granny porn links … yet.

    I’d say the best adjective to describe the ODE’s four blogs is BORING. Also, why doesn’t the ODE start small. Maybe, you know, they could have gone with ONE blog … just to see how things would go. I’ll still read it though.

  2. Sho says:

    On the bright side, they don’t have any granny porn links on their front page. You have to give them that.

  3. Timothy says:

    What’s even better is that they still totally don’t get it, as Jarvis would say. The “what’s a blog?” section reads just like it would from the NYT. I guess even the Compies are part of the Old-Media Jurassic Park.

    Already we see that, absent their copy-editing wizards, they are worse at typing than we are . . .

    Various attempts to spell “initial” include “intial” and, again, “intial.”

    “What’s a blog”

    “Steven R. Neuman
    2005-2005
    Online Editor”

    “Blogs generally consists of short entries . . . ”

    Yeah, so I’m nitpicking. What else can we do for now?
