First you say that PR is already working in such a way that we "don't know is happening" (I think that's equal to an article published, versus an ad being published), and then you say that if we skip those damn ads, we force them to wirte articles based on PR. It's already happening so we need a new skill : how to identify what is the pitch in an article ;) And I think Paul Graham has a blog about this http://store.yahoo.com/paulgraham/submarine.html I've lived in a communist regime, so I think I'm trained for such a thing ("reading between the lines" we say). Anyway, new technology it's almost always disruptive. Good post, thank you. My dear, you are contradicting yourself.
