AlwaysOn goes from Super Blog to "not a blog"
Interesting admission from Tony Perkins, who founded Red Herring and now AlwaysOn Networks:
While AO is built using “blogging” software, it is not a blog in a pure sense. AO is really a combination of professional editorials, reporting and interviews. The difference is that we use our blogging software set-up to encourage participation.
...The bottom line as I see it is the original blogging community represents the early-adopters of a movement that will eventually radicalize the entire media industry. Some time off in the future, if major media brands do not open up their content to more participation, readers will just not trust them, and they will go elsewhere.
