Thanks, Aidan. I think you are right — and I'm glad you enjoy my
fence-sitting :-)

I'm going to provide the most ambiguous answer ever, yet I think it does provide some value and insight...

We need both mediums.

Traditional media (books, magazines, newspapers) provides a unique, professional, well-researched, all-encompassing voice. What social media (and blogs) provides is the ability to challenge ideas and thoughts via comments and trackbacks, further solidifying arguments or completely disproving them. Previously, we were at the mercy of the given publisher.

Mathew... I always enjoy your perspective on a topic such as this, as you dangle a foot on each side of the fence...

Cheers,

PS. How do I get in on this venture?
