There is an art to it. That seems obvious to me, but I guess some people don't think that way. A good editor is like a good gallery curator or book creator. There is an art to it.

Geez, I'm just all turned around. PE, I mean PS: Evangelists, are those still around. I though those had all soiled their robes back in 99.

While I don't think this would take off but only within the laziest of blogs... corporate america is looking into replacing more and more skills and in the case of “citizen journalist” we see its more about dollars than quality. While we might dismiss it - giving them the proverbial "good luck" we should remember that post 90's corporate motto is: "look at what one company does and match it!". Its happen with Airlines, its happen with Banks. As soon as one Airline removes pillows, all the others do... and when they all do - there is no way to bring customer value back... So something will have to give at some point :( I just hope to never use a stamp... This makes as much sense as using Google search and letting it write the story.

Nice picture too, although I was unaware that Obama played pro hockey for the Penquins! ;) Really convincing demo when the photo they show has nothing to do with the subject they are talking about!
