I was updating the Caribbean Blog List and surfing around to see what was being written here and there (I try to avoid the 'dear diary' weblogs) when I found a few interesting stories on the Trinidad and Tobago Media Watch site - interesting, but worth discussion since much room is left for that.
But guess what? There is no discussion at Media Watch. The comments are disabled for whatever reason, but I must note my amusement that someone who is willing to criticize the media is unable to have comments on their own site. The obvious issue, then, would be that I moderate comments on my site due to the high amount of spam comments KnowProSE.com gets hit with.
At least I allow people to comment. What is it that they say about glass houses? Something about... stones? Throwing?
People think that just because they are using weblog software that they have a weblog. Not so. If you don't have comments enabled, you are simply broadcasting and are a very simple evolution of a Microsoft Frontpage website. That isn't new media.
New media allows discussion. Stop driving in the dark with your headlights off, especially if you claim to be on the highway.
