I wasn't able to make it to BlogWorld, so I really appreciate you bringing all this info back. I have to say, this US vs. THEM mentality makes me a little sad. I have heard a lot of it recently; the debate whether new media or traditional media is "better", who is sharing "real" news, etc. In my opinion, it's all a little exhausting. I definitely agree: collaboration is crucial. Also, interesting that Lovecat tasks all begin with "SHARE." Hmmm.... Matt, great post!

It's disheartening however, to see these "leaders" in our circles that practice this type of mentality. Brent - Sorry that you can't support my Olberman feelings, however I won't hold it against you. I really like your thought on "horizontal" media however... that's good thinking. Amanda - you are right my dear - however as Chris pointed out above, and as a fellow Lovecat - we know it's not always easy, but it's the way we live! Chris,

I'm glad we've started a new friendship. I'm on the us side. : ) To me, the folks who do “us vs. them” are also missing the game. Bridgemakers will always beat wallbuilders.

My big takeaway from the keynote was that media is no longer vertical ( ie. tv talking AT you ). Media NOW is horizontal. US talking to each other. WE are the new media. You had me up until being a "Keith Olberman fan". Are we talking about an entertainer or as a journalist? Great post Matt!

Disheartened is a great word choice. Hard to believe that most of our "old schools" of thought, media including, are stuck in the days of the barracuda. LOVECATS RULE!
