I hadn't been to Mathew Ingram's postings on the Globe and Mail website in a while.
I think its a bit odd, because I go to his blog all the time, and I read his column in the paper version on Saturdays (I am addicted to G&M Saturday paper) but really, I almost rarely read geekwatch online.
What's weird is that the two feel really different to me. The comments on the G&M site seem to be somehow more formal and less conversational. Maybe I am making this up (I do that sometimes) but somehow there seems to be a difference. It's almost like one is in Mathew's living room and one is a planned event that you have to get dressed up for.
I know what you mean, Leigh. In any case, thanks for coming to either place -- living room or fancy dress dinner event :-)
ReplyDeleteNo thank you! ;-)
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine and I were talking about this this eve. He thinks its the editorial control over there at G&M and the hoops that you might have to go through that make the writing more formal, and therefore the responses....oh that and the big honking globe and mail style guide.
