For instance, is Sam Ruby being disintermediated? I'm reading Planet Intertwingly all the time. People like Sam and Shelley Powers (Burning Bird) have some real substance. Political blogs I read also have some substance. All of these are mediators.<BR/><BR/>However, I've definitely dropped off reading cnet and traditional media, though I do read their blogs. So, maybe what's really happening is that new media channels are rising up to replace the old.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I find expert a tricky concept. I received my PhD from Carnegie Mellon, and that's all we talked about in the Psych classes I took.Budhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10890564471631569204noreply@blogger.com
