Good/Bad?

icon_snark.gifThe dilemma of online comments.

Salon's Gary Kamiya has a great (rather long) piece, The readers strike back. How has the two-way communication provided by the internet affected journalism and writing? Are we spiraling into a blandly written future? Or is the democratization of journalism the best things since Tang? Is the blogosphere a "first draft"? Take a few minutes to read the piece, and if you're so inclined, come back here to discuss. While I would never compare this little blog to Salon, I do think we share some of the same joys and frustrations expressed in Mr Kamiya's piece.
