Up reading this.
Gladwell (who always makes me think, even if I don’t agree) makes an interesting point about the oft blog-maligned mainstream media and the role it plays in setting the conversational agenda for the alternative media.
Is blogging a form of reaction, a form of conversation, a derivative form, or all of the above? Without the ‘MSM’, would bloggers lack an anchor for what they do? Or an ebenezer? Or a flashpoint?
And if the alternative media one day replaces the mainstream media, what will be lost?
What will be gained?
Blame my noisy neighbours for this post. Not because Mr. Gladwell lives next door, mind you, but because they are keeping me very much awake…

If I understood one of those big fancy words, I would totally attempt to answer those questions.
