For now, I'm just glad to see people reading my posts. :) If I start feeling a need for revenge, I’ll get out my nitpick spectacles and start combing.

It definitely comes through that you are in favour of writing longer pieces - that's exactly why I tried to point people to your more recent posts, which I think are very good. I agree with you about using aggregation to help navigate the web - the way that I've been talking about it here though, your curating idea is definitely adding filtering to aggregation, which increases value. The main reason that I used that older post is that it got mentioned 2 or 3 times in my twitter stream last week (so some people obviously like it!), and I was just struck by the contrast between it and the Brogan & Smith piece. Thanks for being so gracious about it. I've talked enough about journalism here that I'm sure you can find an ill-informed comment or two to pick apart if you want revenge. :-) Thanks for the comment David!

I think it's a matter of degrees. You can tell from my other posts (I think) that I'm all in favor of writing longer pieces and adding analysis to help readers figure out complicated issues. But I do think there is legitimate value in aggregating. The more crowded the Web gets, the more value we find in curation. Some of the most valuable blog posts I read are lists of 3-5 links from bloggers I trust. My advice for people who are new to "new media" is that they should bite off what they can. The post you pointed to was meant as advice for someone who might feel a little overwhelmed of writing fresh content several times a week. I'd definitely like to see people graduate beyond aggregation, but I think it's a good way to start. Thanks for checking out my blog, by the way. Even when you disagree! Hi Tim,

I've not paid much attention to the writing on curation, and I probably should. Not enough available attention I guess! You're right though, about how ciritcal it is that we stop browsing at some point so that we can synthesise - this is where the value comes from. Thanks Renata!
