web technology, media, philosophy – it’s about me.

I have worked in and around media for all but a few years since a part-time radio job in 1992.  “Back then” traditional media had the bull by the horns and managed news and information and how it flowed to it “customers”. Then came the late 90’s.  THe internet was young and people were trying to figure out to use it.

Fast forward to now – traditional media is choking on the machine they built and people are innovating new ways to get the “news” out.

I found one of these news ways today via Twitter – it is called “iowastatefair.me” and is a journalism experiment which is pretty cool.  It seems to be gaining some traction.

Now figure out how to twitter me some of the Iowa Stat Fair’s beef-on-a-stick.
