2 Brilliant

Best piece I have read in a long time. It truly is the content that rules the day and it amazes me to see that no matter how many times we preach it, many people are still missing the boat. Dumb as a sack of hammers.

The title says it all – one of the best things I’ve seen about ‘Content is King’ in a very long time.

4 An open e-mail sent to the author . . .

I just read your article “A Fairy, a Low-Fat Bagel, and a Sack of Hammers” on A List Apart.

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/hammers/

Personally, I thought it was a great read; however, your use of the term “wet dreams” rendered the article useless for some of us who do web related work for a living in a corporate or government setting and who are trying to educate and enlighten our higher-ups by referring them to articles like this.

I depend on articles written by you and others to not only educate myself, but my management staff as well. Call it prudish or not “hip” if you will, but the forwarding of this article with your potentially embarrassing choice of words to my management and executive staff will not happen.

I hope you will take this into consideration when publishing your next piece.

Thank you.

5 The truth...

What you say is the truth. The people are the ones on the edge of the internet, exploring into the cracks and crevices that the corporate-net can and will not dare to venture.

Their interests are vested. Their voices are appeasing. Their heads all turn in different directions.

We will always be leading the way. We walk the paths that are new and feared. We are the trailblazers. We are the pioneers of the electronic wilderness, and always will be. Catch us if you can.

6 Fantastic.

You wrote about writing in the best way it could be written.

7 Summary.

Bold assertions sans evidence. Sentence fragments. Overwhelming, vapid populism. Complaints without actions items or agenda.

One-phrase paragraphs.

This article was good for one thing. Underselling the web.

8 What?

This article was about as relevant as the Matrix Revolutions…

Please, let’s stick to something useful on ALA.

9 Point taken, but ...

I get your point, and I understand completely what you’re saying here. But I don’t exactly agree. There’s more to the web than “just words.” There’s a lot more. There are sounds, music, and imagery. This is the evolution of the internet. Stay tuned — there’s more on the way.

10 Munged Entities

Nice, your site munged my entities! Can we get a warning about this stuff? Or maybe a preview option?

Thanks.
