I also don't want to imply satisfaction with the pace of change. Maybe it's better to say "Stop Talking. Do Anything." Sure we'll make mistakes, but stumbling through missteps is better than not moving at all.

I agree the industry is moving in the right direction. Part of my frustration ties into the recent series of IBM commercials. I want people to "Stop Talking. Start Doing." But I also have to be more understanding that not everyone operates the same way. Jason Nez,

Thanks for the comment. I agree the industry is moving in the right direction. Part of my frustration ties into the recent series of IBM commercials. I want people to “Stop Talking. Start Doing.”

But I also have to be more understanding that not everyone operates the same way.

This is something that's hard to grasp even by the most committed folks in our business. There's another aspect to this (the network and connections issue) that is worth a look, too. Howard Owens (howardowens.com) slaps MSM around a little today for restricting discussion and then complaining that blogs are so well-trod: "Most blog owners apply high standards for the conduct they will allow. They monitor closely. They participate in the conversation. In other words, they are actively engaged and involved. They are owners." Until we own our work on the Web (and, arguably, own our respective communities) newspapers will miss the mark. We're moving in the right direction, though. We're changing culture, after all, not just technology. Good point.
