    I'm merely conceding the possibility is all. These things are so easy to control, utterly, from a technical point of view that we should not so quickly and blithely embrace them.

    I've listened to so many people here applaud the decline of newspapers and traditional media in the face of citizen participation, and I can't help but feel that this stands in the face of all that's been achieved since the days of coffee house parlee and ..er.. 'organised intellectual investigation' (ie, what we now view as traditional media).

    I'm not anti-Twitter (well, I am) and I see its use in reporting from the front line of an event, but it is no substitute for traditional forms.

    I've just realised that this has got nothing to do with this thread, but I'm going to hit 'Broadcast live' anyway...
