● I quite like the final take on this matter; it emphasize a side of the often criticised web2.0 not that often underlined: the recommandation principle where you trust your friend.
Do we get the blogs we deserve? We vote by click, after all. Perhaps we shouldnt look at all those top 10 lists and Britney Spears photos. Successful blogs, such as Zen Habits, tend to balance the more fast-food type posts with longer, more complex ideas that will presumably keep readers coming back—although there are plenty of people who make a living posting dubious crap. Perhaps the escape route out of a hit-driven blogosphere is all of our newfound “friends.” The Internet has always been very good at counting page views but not so great at assigning value to whats actually in those pages. Facebook, FriendFeed, StumbleUpon, and the sharing feature of Google Reader have their annoying, nudgy aspects, but they allow us to rely on one another to sort out what is interesting and worthy. Put it on a T-shirt: Friends Dont Let Friends Read Bad Content.

Just watched the ghostbuster series. Far less exciting than when i was kid but still nice wiht a certain retro charm; i really like the car with that steampunk feel.
Later I googled for one of the actor, Bill Murray (Peter Venkman) and found out about this behaviour that reminded me of Richad Stallman’s web to email:
Being very detached from the Hollywood scene, Murray does not have an agent or manager and reportedly only fields offers for scripts and roles using a personal telephone number with a voice mailbox that he checks infrequently. This practice has the downside of sometimes preventing him from taking parts that he had auditioned for and was interested in, such as that of Sulley in Monsters, Inc, Bernard Berkman in The Squid and the Whale, Frank Ginsburg in Little Miss Sunshine and Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
* Bill Murray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
** Richard Stallman’s web to email: it is also linked to the electronic presence concept
