Wow! Have you tried telling these people your concern? It’s a bit nice that you only laugh at this thing, I can’t afford to say a big mistake. If you were someone else, these people could have received a word. I really think they should be informed that their reporting standards are no longer above average and, in a way, it downgrades the credibility of people with whom they’re affiliated.

What is it with the world today? I think the IPhone was a very cool idea, but then it came out and I think they were not ready for it. And now Google is talking about making a phone? Is everyone going to jump on the bandwagon with phones before the system is ready for them? I can see Yahoo, AOL, and yes, even the Myspace phones being next. We are going to have this influx of phones from different companies competing for the newest and coolest looking phone. And then we have all these phones out there, and the cell phone network will not be able to support them and we have very expensive palm pilots. I still have my very first cell phone from when I was 18, and look at it and realize that I now have a very large phone book. I hope that we are not jumping ahead of ourselves in making these.

also find the reporter’s choice of tense fascinating. Rather than indicating that i wrote XYZ, the reporter states that i “maintain” XYZ. This sounds like it’s an active ongoing process, that i’ve been continuously proclaiming an opinion i wrote 2 months ago. While i do believe that 7/7 (and every major catastrophe in the last 20 years) pushes the evolution of media along, it feels a little strange to see words put into my mouth about my current opinion. I wonder what other past voices of me will become present.

Gotta tell you this entry made me laugh. I don’t know if I think the nyt reporter made an ethically appropriate choice, though. As a reporter – working on a story about social networks – who has spoken to you for a story before, I think I’d feel compelled to be in touch if I were going to quote you – from that aging interview or from your blog….
