The Future of Publishing

designaday:

There have been a number of key historical events that have given the masses the ability to publish. The invention of the printing press was a huge advance. The advent of the web was another. Since then, we’ve had some smaller impacts such as self-publishing through sites like Lulu, blogging, YouTube, and podcasting. In each of these cases, technology has leveled the playing field, allowing hobbyists and enthusiasts to play in a space formerly dominated by professionals and those with deep pockets.

The general ugliness of the web is kinda what i love, the removal of the gates of control giving people bigger and better soapboxes to tell their opinion and their own stories rather than the controlled dialog of before
