People wait from week to week for TV show episodes. If there's suspense built in and there's minimal effort, it works in certain circumstances. But I agree in general, re: Twitter.<br /><br />Dan: $90K with no benefits is surprisingly low for a staff job at a major NY-based magazine like the New Yorker. Wouldn't you think that would be low for, say, a top TV news anchor? Well, a staff job at the New Yorker is one of hte most prestigious gigs in the field.THE STRIP PODCASThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593322167326380577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-23202621384626974142009-05-13T09:18:00.000-07:002009-05-13T09:18:00.000-07:00Wow, since when did $90,000 become paltry?

Sure, if you want to know what Shaq is thinking 5 minutes before the game starts, maybe. But, reading a story one sentence at a time is odd and I suspect people will get tired of that. Unless it is something immediately urgent (like maybe swine flu updates) why not just wait to read it until the guy finishes writing the whole story? Using it to dribble out tidbits of more info to come might be the only thing that could be useful. E.g., "Hi! This is Barack Obama and I may or may not run for a second term. I'll let you know in my next tweet."GregoryZephyrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-19136830883591252102009-05-12T10:14:00.000-07:002009-05-12T10:14:00.000-07:00In terms of topic, those stories the New Yorker ki...In terms of topic, those stories the New Yorker killed sound a lot better than much of the abstruse crap it *does* publish. And I say that as a New Yorker subscriber of long standing. But it often seems like David Remnick and all his predecessors (Tina Brown excepted) pride themselves on running stories that are doomed to go unread.<br /><br />David McKeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-35328743906610939482009-05-11T21:57:00.000-07:002009-05-11T21:57:00.000-07:00it was this big tech fad at the beginning of the o...it was this big tech fad at the beginning of the obama era. went bankrupt, i think.R-J Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-28018343416529009612009-05-11T21:53:00.000-07:002009-05-11T21:53:00.000-07:00What is this 'Twitter' thing you speak of?
