Guess what I was trying to get at was - mobile-aside - do you see an online journalism future w/better use/editing/scheduling of serialization for longer investigative pieces (a la comic books/soap opera cliffhangers)?

Do you think this’d rally a dedicated readership around a piece &…for lack of a better word…manufacture a shared experience -> create a buzz -> invest the readers in the outcome -> inspire a handful to chip-in/donate to the journos’ next project?

They don’t really break the longform stuff too much BUT they do provide a nice reading experience and half-decent multimedia.

Mobile is much better for short hits and factoids (i.e. game scores, headlines, wire stories).

I wouldn’t want to read a long piece on my iPhone and you know that I love mine.

First of all thanks for your comment on my BlogTO post! I was only able to make it on Saturday but still really enjoyed the conference, just like last year.

I love your comments about how one person’s obvious can be another person’s paradigm-shift - I think most of us take it for granted that we know the ins and outs of Twitter and other social media tools, while forgetting that we were all newbies at some point. And isn’t that the whole point of the Law of Two Feet? That sessions are held with a niche audience in mind, and if you’re not one of those target people then you’re free to find one that interests you?

Also I agree on the podcast front - I don’t follow many podcasts religiously, and tend to just use my iPod for music. I also don’t subscribe to any indie YouTube channels, although let’s face it - I’m not really an indie kind of girl

Love your writing style - glad I found your Podcamp post, and look forward to more in the future!
