Just like you said, the News Paper Media industry is not listening! The news is constantly repetitive information from all sources of things that no one is interested in. It's not 1960 where we are limited in our sources of information, it no longer has to be forced down our throats. The people can choose where they get their information, weather is from some guy with a blog or flip cam, or large informative sites like Techcrunch.com. Its the people who provide the information that the audience is looking for, that they take the time to listen to, while they cancel their daily paper/web subscriptions. Some of the industry leaders should have read "Who Moved My Cheese?". -Tim @OrderOfMen OrderOfMen.com Without a doubt, I agree. Just like you said, the News Paper Media industry is not listening!

]]> Comment on Tornado on I-25 near Denver (CAUTION – Language) by Robert Ivan http://erikboles.com/2008/08/24/tornado-on-i-25-near-denver-caution-language/comment-page-1/#comment-356 Robert Ivan Wed, 24 Dec 2008 05:02:33 +0000 http://erikboles.com/?p=8#comment-356 This is great for a few reasons. 1. I too witnessed a tornado outside of Denver Colorado, but mine was about 5 years ago. The best I could do was a few crappy still shots and a phone call. You got the whole thing on video. 2. Whoever's in the passenger seat has the wherewithal to keep announcing where to video can be seen on the qik site. 3. Further validation that the world will continue to exist without a newspaper in every town. 4. You were next to a fucking tornado! This is great for a few reasons.
