    He's actually right, about ads: if you take all of the spammer shit out (which is low-yield anyway) there's just not enough ad money to fuel every news site on the internet.

    Of course you can work things out, but that would require entire sites like gawker and such to be run by no more than 5 guys as a side-business from their homes, without offices, parties or any fancy shit like say a salary.

    And BTW, it's PROTIP, havent you ever read a Gamepro?

    You can use this genius strategy even if you have a bricks-and-mortar store:

    1. Destroy all the roads to your store
    2. Eliminate signs/GPS signal that might lead people there
    3. Raise prices
    4.????
    5. PROFIT #rupertmurdoch

    I am interested always in the proposition that nothing can be lest it first appear in Dilbert. Like, the pointy-headed boss orders: "Run me a hard copy of the internets; I'm gonna do some serious browsing tonight." #rupertmurdoch

    This is perhaps the saddest day ever. First we learn that Sex Goddess Andrea Peyser is only being read by a mere 500,000 people, and now we are being threatened with the possibility that Sex Goddess Andrea Peyser might not appear on Google searches. Oh the humanity! #rupertmurdoch

    In reply to Drudge Death Panel Murders iPhone App in Stalinist Snafu
    Ironies abound.

    "Imagine: Something inaccurate, written by Matt Drudge, causing people grief. Unprecedented."

    I can't remember the last time I saw anything written by Matt Drudge on his website. It's nothing but links, mostly to MSM sources.

    Selection of WHAT to link to of course has a political point of view (and most bias in media is attributable to their choices of WHAT to cover rather than how they cover it).

    But of course that raises the question of how you can maintain copyright on a site that is completely made of links rather than any actual content.

    Seeing the Drudge Siren is a treat in and of itself, but the few occasions when I've been lucky enough to experience the Double Drudge Siren were some of the greatest of my life.

    Someone must have helpfully pointed out to Drudge that it's a wee bit hypocritical for him to belly-ache about some sap making bank off the hard work of others.

    In reply to Reuters Implores AP to 'Stop Whining'
    You want to see this difference in attitude (between Reuters and the AP) in action? Go look at their Web sites. The AP's homepage doesn't even link to any stories; I see four headlines on the right sidebar, but they lead to "hosted" sites that I'm apparently "forbidden" from accessing. Reuters' site, on the other hand, has not only a clean layout but easily accessible links organized by category--and, in the case of business, by TYPE of business.
    Adapting to change is hard; getting stuck on the outside looking in when you refused to adapt is harder.

    Welp, when we get our planned global economy, the only decisions will be how to select the "commercial" bloggers and journalists and how to apportion them to their beats.

    Wait, did I just read about someone in the news industry that didn't sound like a raving lunatic? I'm confused. I thought the crazies hung and shot anyone that made sense.

    @senatormayer: He's smart enough to realize that you can monetize any situation. Didn't Paul Johnson write a book about how those who protect their today money risk only having today money?
