More on 2.0
I wrote about Carl Bildt’s blog yesterday. There are so many beautiful things going on on the internet these days. For those of us who are able to participate in the 2.0 experience, it’s a brand new reality where the rules of the old world are challenged constantly.
The power of the traditional media is in decline, and that’s certainly a good thing. People watch less television, and organize their feeds so that they don’t need to expose themselves to Britney Spears’ new hairstyle or endless chronicles on Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.
If you’re interested in politics you can get your information from just about any source you can possibly think of: Newspapers, blogs, official or unofficial sources, left-wing, right-wing, personal, organizational, biased or unbiased, objective or subjective. You choose.
More and more music freaks turn their back on the infinite greed and less-than-serviceminded attitude of the established music industry, turning instead to such fine websites as eMusic and Amie Street.
Musicians communicate directly with their fans on MySpace, amateur musicians collaborate on online projects.
It is a social revolution, and it’s upsetting to parts of the establishment. I can’t help it, but I’m amused and delighted to see the music industry, large broadcasting companies and journalists shaking in their pants.
They thought they had it all worked out, and in so many ways they’d all grown into arrogant, dogmatic relics from the past. Change is forcing itself upon them though
Rejoyce!
