Arianna Huffington on the future of journalism
The (fabulous)
"Communities Dominate Brands" blog points at a
Guardian video interview with Arianna Huffington on the future of news journalism. Not too surprisingly, Huffington's view on traditional news reporting is not too rosy - in fact, she predicts a slow but inevitable demise.
I like her line on mainstream media vs. blogs: "Mainstream media have an attention deficit disorder, blogs have an obsessive compulsive disorder."

About Matter/Anti-Matter
Tim Leberecht and Adam Richardson both work for Frog Design, a consulting firm specialized in designing innovative products and services for Fortune 500 clients. On the Matter / Anti-Matter blog, they engage in a debate around questions they face day-to-day in their work, using convergence/divergence as a lens through which to look at the pressing issues in business, culture, and technology. What makes a successful convergent product or a successful divergent innovation? Is convergence a myth that users don't really care about, or is the current state of convergence just not satisfying enough for them to embrace? How much divergence of innovation is good, and when does it just become confusing? How do you stay on top of people's ever changing needs and wants?
