Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks and co-founder of HDnet has written a great post about the rise of blogs and why blogs are exploding while traditional media is “consolidating, if not contracting.”
About his own blog, he says:
I can write about anything. I can write opinion. I can report facts. I can ask questions. I can jump from topic to topic to topic. Sports, the NBA, business, personal experiences, technology, movies, entertainment, hdtv, whatever I want to write about. One minute Im a reporter, communicating what happened and where, the next Im an opinion columnist. The next Im op-ed, punching or counter punching someone in traditional media, just to see if they can take a punch as well as they can throw one. its all up to me and its fun.My blog is just that. Mine.
It is a great article from a guy who seems to “get it” when it comes to technology, media and business. Sure, there was the awful The Benefactor reality show he did, but nobody’s perfect.
And, in fairness to traditional media, he added this: Where Newspapers Kick the Internet’s Behind
