Ok, ‘trolling’ was too harsh.Still. Don’t you think that part of what is so cool about blogging is that we get to write our own rules? Refusing to enable processes that we don’t like is not exactly being a crybaby. Afterall, it was WIRED that contacted Dave and Jason.

First of all, I am not trolling. I am chastising a little because I am interested in mainstream acceptance of blogging.I get the fast moving information point, but here’s the thing- publications like wired can help that evolution along by reaching a lot of people who don’t read blogs. But for now, mainstream media has the power and we need to realize that.Everybody who gets calls from the media has been misquoted, just like everyone who drives has had a fender bender.All this makes bloggers (and Web 2.0) look like a nursery room.

I understand that you are just trolling here, but…I am a WIRED subscriber. By the time I get their magazine in my hands there is not 1 Web2.0 related story that I don’t already know. If WIRED is going to be a part of the Web2.0 conversation, they are going to have to allow it to happen transparently on the web. Information just moves too fast.Also, I have been misquoted and it is frustrating. Email interviews are a much better way to go.
