Wired Magazine - blogging comment
On page 046 of the latest Wired magazine, Robert X. Cringley is quoted as saying that blogging and podcasting are like CB radio and will eventually look like the New York Times . . .
I've seen some template software for school websites that looks like a newspaper so it is familiar to parents and the public but is also a bit too cluttered to conform to most web usability standards . . . but I don't think that is the same as the NYT - esp. since I don't think the blogging world will ever allow only major edited outlets. Too much has already escaped. There are some attempts to joining a select few (an interesting combination of the old and the new can be found here), but the world is still wide open and will continue to be defined as more and more with like interests find each other via the internet.
