Diane Tucker: Could Twitter Have Saved The New York Times? January 9, 2009
Posted by Jonathan Hewett in : delicious links , trackbackA pertinent point about the need for online advertising to avoid annoying readers:
"if the Huffington Post had a Little Black Dress Big Sales Page, I'd click on it every day because the perfect LBD has become my white whale. Unfortunately, the next time I read the Times online, I'll get hit in the face with an ad for a lawn mower. What am I going to do with a lawn mower in downtown D.C.?"
?This is a minor point in a piece that closes with a now-familiar theme:?
"Newspapers have great capital: talented reporters with superb rolodexes. But if the bigshots at the top don't join the rest of us in the 21st century soon, those writers will be out of work and you'll be getting most of your news from bloggers like me. I'm not convinced that's a good thing."
