themulife.com — "I had a chance to talk to Matthew Sparkes, Web Executive at New Scientist, about the effects of social media on online publications, how these publications are reacting to this shift in the direction where media is headed, and how New Scientist in particular is dealing with the situation."

Well, I wonder if Mr. Sparkes (who apparently cannot spell "Sparks" right...hmmm) is really even a Scientist at all?Does he drive a car with "SparkePlugs" too? Give me a break. I'm burying this article because it is about a Science Poser talking about publications that don't even fall under the realm of publishing. It's sort of like watching a fly that's really "hung" try to hurry away from your spilled BBQ sauce...funny, crooked and sad. Digg me down if you like Bush, but otherwise you know I'm right so just admit it.

The Advantage of Community Driven content is Obvious. No editorial staff with their own agendas forcing content down our throats. (hint: SLASHDOT). But where ever there is power there follows corruption. Think Communist Manifesto and Socialism (hint: DIGG Gangs).For now, the DIGG paradigm IS producing top notch content. For now. IF DIGG continues to produces the most relevant content then yes. New Scientist, WSJ, NYT etc will die. But its NOT the HOW… its the WHAT. STOP concentrating on the medium of delivery. It’s the CONTENT that’s king. Produce better content than DIGG's home page and New Scientist will have nothing to worry about.
