Was is the industrial revolution or the internet revolution: both of which had produced the most dramatic changes in the way the civilized world operates? Now the blog/rss revolution is taken off (yes! blog/rss is the next great revolution) and we are not joining in! blog/rss is upturning the way the world shares information. what is happening in the remotest jungle can be captured in picture, audio or video, loaded onto a blog be immidiately copied by rss unto to millions or even billions of computers, mobile phones, internet tablets and whatever device that has an aggregator or reader installed. You can think of this as millions and billions of CNNs only that this information will not be subject to the monopoly of a few as we currently have it. Just like all revolutions, those that choose to ignore the trend will only be swept away!. And our media businesses are surely not an exception to this rule.
