just imagine ...

... imagine you read a GREAT Dilbert comic. Not hard to imagine. Now imagine this ...
.. the time comes when you stop rolling with laughter and you're thinking about what Dilbert's creator, Scott Adams was thinking when he drew this. You're thinking about your worst boss, or his most stupid ideas. You're wondering what Scott's editors thought when they saw the first draft.
Imagine you could find THAT stuff out at a click of a button.
That would be cool.
Actually, it IS cool. Scott has a BLOG, "The Dilbert Blog" (what else) and his typings are as fascinating, punchy, laughable and cynically insightful as what his sketches are. Go check it out ... Scott's got a cunning conversation going on on his blog.

3 quick observations;

1. Blogs don't discriminate in who they are valuable to; blogging benefits professional & amateur alike, and for much the same reasons. It's a rediculous notion that professional writers don't need to Blog.
2. The MSM and BSM compliment each other. Scott's blog's audience benefits from his MSM popularity, and vice versa. The result is cumulative.
   
3. The argument that "citizen content" is not valuable to consumers (predictably touted by MSM moguls and other fools) must END. As Scott has has demonstrated, having a Blog will become a mark of quality professional media. Not having one may actually define poor quality, and would definitely call the author's credibility into question.
   

I personally think Blogging allows the MSM to gain back some of the credibility its lost over the past few decades. Scott's one who probably doesn't need to work on his credibility with his audience; but there are many TV news anchors who should consider blogging.
