It’s Wrong to Friend Your Boss on Facebook [SURVEY]
Add that to the WTF!? chart.
“The people who run newspapers and those who work for them are engaged in useless foreplay. They cling tightly, trying again and again to make the way they’ve always done it still work, but the passion is gone. They talk change: tearing down silos, building audience and monetizing content. But talk is their only capability. They eye non-profit status with government subsidies like it’s Viagra for print. They tussle through regrouping, “right-sizing,” and stripping down to “lean and mean.” They reorganize, then reorganize again, then grope their way back to same old position that no longer works. The wretched gyrations are hideously frustrating for the poor souls involved, and sadly fruitless. They give birth to nothing new. The newspaper business is an aging, impotent beast, bringing down a lot of good journalists who are tangled in its foundering arms.”

“Karp apparently hadn’t seen Buzz yet and was pretty surprised to hear from me that it came with an unread count. Unread counts cause mental blocks, he said, and they’re the reason everyone dumps their RSS readers after like two days of starting them.”
