we are 10 years old happy birthday thank
you so much and when we were born and
the conversation had not yet moved
online in the way that it has moved
online now and one of the first things
that we did we kind of elevated blogging
because before the Huffington Post
bloggers tended to be stereotyped as
people who couldn’t get a job blogging
in their pajamas in their parents
basements so invited you know a lot of
people who could have access to the New
York Times and write their own books to
also blog we wanted them to be part of
the online conversation and there is no
hierarchy mmm so that is also the magic
of the internet that you didn’t know who
would be reading what and what would
happen so Jeff she invents an entire
branch of news effectively he said I
don’t think I exaggerate when I say this
no she didn’t invent blogging but she
then took blogging and used her rolodex
to bring stars into it and give it some
measure of legitimacy yeah enema see ya
because before that blogger is like she
said we’re just people in their
underwear in the baby here my pajamas
today yes yeah and thinking that
everyone cares about what they think oh
yeah but there were there were a few
steps in blogging I started blogging
after nine eleven i was here in New York
which we were called war bloggers at the
time there were political bloggers there
were food bloggers and mummy bloggers
there been these phases of bloggers but
at the end of the day it’s just people
owning their printing press we’re all
Gutenberg now interesting so would you
say that we have entered a new era of
news that is blogging news yeah I know
yeah I mean that’s really I mean you you
can say we’ve entered a new era of news
but is blogging news or is it or is it
more opinion driven it’s just a
publishing tool it can be anything I
mean literally we all have a Gutenberg
press in our pocket now we can all
publish to the entire world we can say
what we want to that could be news it
can be information it can be opinion it
could be anything we wanted to be there
was a day when we had tools in place or
filters in place to know if you didn’t
otherwise know for yourself whether
somebody is speaking truth or insightful
opinions
whether they’ve got her head up direct
him so you’re saying that entire
construct was nothing more than a mirage
yeah Wow it was part of it I was a
bigger guy but but no who’s to say that
just because I owned a printing press
I’m the guy who knows everything and you
don’t um no we only help wait a minute
wait if if I think a Ben Franklin he was
a printer okay you don’t become that
unless people trusted what you said no
you go out and buy a press you got the
money he had the money yeah you buy a
press that was there nevermind yeah okay
you win that argument let’s move on
we’re done there
