[…] Speaking of fellow bloggers, Steve Gillmor picks up the echo of Arrington’s post, and does the sort of high-level analysis that usually entertains me when I haven’t got a clue what exactly he’s talking about. But in this case, he’s just playing the same Us vs. Them card as Arrington, ignorant of who was in the room. […]

[…] Steve Gillmor: “The New York Times is a great publication on its good days, a lying pack of self-protective weasels on others. Same for every one of us in the blogosphere.” […]

Good one Dave, you self protecting weasel bashing blogmeister!

As you suggest it looks like all Mike did was point out what he sees as inevitable change and they didn’t like the sound of it.

We are living (not just covering) the rebooting of media. It’s a turbulent but fun ride. Shirley you’d understand. Mainstream media picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.

[…] So in that vein, I love what Steve Gillmor has to say: Forget superior for a second, and look at what happened when music rebooted in the Sixties. Were The Beatles superior to Sinatra? Coltrane to Armstrong? Dylan to Guthrie? Did they boo Dylan? Yes they did. Now we see that as the watershed of the era. Was this a problem? Listen to the newly-discovered tape of Dylan with Butterfield’s band at Newport and it’s stunning in its obvious power. They were booing because they were insulted, scared, angry, moved. […]

Steve,

Mike doesn’t get reamed *just* for his trouble… He gets reamed for saying things that hit people where the work and what they value about their profession.

Like most Web 2.0 types he overstates the changes and kills off a whole industry in a paragraph… It’s the ” is dead.” meme. It takes 20 years to prove correct.

Radio is dead.
Broadcast TV is dead.
Magazines are dead.
Weblinks are dead.

Those “zombies” still support more professionals than we’ll see on the web anytime soon. Kicking as they decline just riles ‘em up. They’ll fight until they have nothing left and then form societies rto preserve their media with government “crutches”.

Hopefully, Mike will just pass on old media conferences and stick to the all male, Web busines shows where he preaches to the new choirboys and gets some warm applause for the effort.
