Google News: Nails in the Dead Tree Coffin
February 27, 2009
Short item. Painful to dead tree publishers. Reported in Search Engine Roundtable here: “Google News Adds over 20,000 News Sources.” The SER writer asks, “Does quality suffer?” Answer: No, it becomes easier for an analyst to identify anomalies. Save the next Sunday hard copy newspaper if one of the wizards of journalism runs this story. Probably will be a memento or even a collector’s item. Thonk. Thonk. Thonk. Know what that onomatopoeia means? It’s the sound of Googzilla pounding nails into the dead tree sector’s coffin in my opinion. Honk.
