Very up to date considering Wp3 is not that old, and books traditionally take a while to get through the publishing process. I have the Stephanie Leary book, and it is very good.

Yes, I think putting links at the bottom is a good idea ... but hardly a revolutionary one. In the print world, it's called "footnotes." {{wink}} Maybe online editors can learn something from the print world after all!

Sorry about that. Basically, the Petri Liukkonen essay provides information on E.B. White, who is a great writer and a great thinker. His comment on the book, to me, summarizes why truly great content is so powerful in that it is indispensable. He's saying he doesn't just like his copy of Walden, he needs it.

]]> Comment on Are Real People Better Than Editors and Reporters? by Pem McNerney http://www.pemmymac.com/contentcreation/2010/04/are-real-people-better-than-editors-or-reporters/comment-page-1/#comment-14 Pem McNerney Sat, 10 Apr 2010 12:02:39 +0000 http://www.pemmymac.com/contentcreation/2010/04/are-real-people-better-than-editors-or-reporters/#comment-14 I see the similarities to Yelp and Facebook. Still, when it comes to a content creation model, gdgt.com is more focused than Facebook and more effective than Yelp. The interface of community and technology on gdgt.com is clearly producing trusted and reputable content, still an all-too-rare commodity on many sites. This is not yet entirely the case with Yelp (See: http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2010/04/06/yelp-makes-changes-reacts-to-complaints-from-businesses.aspx) . Adding to its appeal, it seems like the gdgt.com model is scalable in that the same technology/community interface could be applied to other topics people are passionate about. I, for one, would love to see one about tea! And, it looks like the content stream can be monetized in a way that doesn't compromise the trusted content. I'll be interested to see how gdgt.com's new discussion system enhances the community. I like how you guys discussed it with the community before implementing. Good luck with whatever comes next.
