online.wsj.com — "The Internet moves very fast," says Gary "Numa Numa" Brolsma. "Your video has to be funny, or get to the point, very quickly. People are clicking all the time. If you don't hook people in the first 15 seconds, they'll move on."

So this is the WSJ's valiant attempt to get hip to the Web 2.0 generation? I'm not impressed. It seems like the Journal is trying to reach two different audiences with this piece: the rich old fogies who've traditionally read the journal and web hipsters and geeks. Unfortunately, their effort doesn't work. The guy who wrote the article just sounds like an old fogey, and the web savvy people the author/the journal is trying to appeal to already know how to become a web superstar.

I agree. I don't understand why Digg is partnering with the WSJ. They're content is clearly so not right at the Digg audience. Their one quasi-successful attempt at writing something that appeals to the digg audience (this article we're all commenting on) just makes them come off the kind of crotchety old fogies that most young people think WSJ editors and readers are. Rupert is going to have to try a lot harder to change the journal's image and ride the web 2.0 wave.
