Local Papers and the Web 2.0

Had a long conversation with Steve Watson, Buffalo News reporter, yesterday. He's preparing a piece about Buffalo bloggers, why we do what we do and web 2.0 stuff. We talked about my praises for a recent Mary Kunz Goldman piece, over here. And we both agreed that the sort of thing that the Toronto Star does with blogging is the bomb. Check out this...from the Toronto Star...Reporter Blogs! Make sure to check out how the sister site thestar.com: webmaking does the blog thing and folks in TO know all about the web 2.0...(del.icio.us, too!) Imagine how totally cool it would be if Warren Buffet would allow local reporters to interact with readers here, on-line.

I had an opportunity to talk with Geoff Kelly, Artvoice Editor, at the caffé this afternoon. It was like he was totally listening in on the conversation I was having with Steve Watson. Look for lots of changes to the interactivity of the Artvoice site in the weeks and months ahead. Geoff, good to have you back in town!

Just caught this on Toronto Star...what a paper should be! Peter Goddard, Toronto Star Visual Arts Critic does slideshows about art gallery openings...too cool!

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask
of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
- Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) from The Death and Life of Great American Cities, 1961.
