I hear it is revolution which is taking off and all corporations must be involved in, in order to excel. I can see it is another public relations too and a medium which allows for transperency and human conversation which can not be found anywhere. On the other hand though, I am a huge book worm lover and my joy of reading would never be taken over by technology. Although, I do use technology to obtain my books. If you love reading and want books for free, I found this great website about trading and wishing books. You may have heard of it www.bookins.com. I like this site as it allows a place for everyone to read and no need to pay high priced barnes and noble,amazon prices. If you guys know of any good Indian authors, trade it, i love indian authors.

I agree there is a lot of rubbish out there, but then again, who am I? Just another chap. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Or however that cliche goes. All of this applies to books as well. Let's not romanticize reading. I love it, but let's not kid ourselves -- there are LOTS of really, truly, terrible books out there. But make sure to refer back to my cliche above to qualify that statement as well. Pratyush gets it. I agree there is a lot of rubbish out there, but then again, who am I? Just another chap.

There are different kinds of blogs. A specific blog may have movie reviews from an author whose viewpoint you like. If main stream media and books were the only things we read, we would not know that view point. That perspective would be lost. It is upon us to chose wisely what to read and what not to read, how much to read. The medium exists which is great. W\ Atanu, the statement is too general according to me.

Where what I write might never see light of day, and might never be read by anyone other than me or my close family or friends, blogging draws lots of readers to my writings and there is a satisfaction in an amateur or serious, but unpublished writer to see many read him. And so on and so forth - but for actual information and actual enjoyment, I go to books, books, books. Even the www might just overload with all those links. Books are THE best.

There are relations made, conversations shared and collborative knowledge gain at the end of the day/week. Yes, it may not be efficient ...

In the ratings game, if they old media has to announce its imminent demise at the hands of 'citizen journalism' to make a for an interesting story, it will. Yes, news websites now have blogs on them, but it isnt as if CNN is sending all its journalists home with a laptop and a livejournal account.
