Google Feedreader has totally replaced my newspaper subscription. I still read some magazines... perhaps where the talent has moved. And I'm a book nut. I think the smell and feel of paper is still natural to me. What I miss the most is the talent, though... that's what I was really trying to say. I hope that journalists turn to blogging more and more (outside the newspapers they work for). In fact, I'd love to see 'sponsored' blogging sites with real journalists that have no boundaries for where they can take their writing. I know what you mean, Tony.

I know that sounds weird, but it's been so long since I have, that my frame of reference has changed. When those sales people come door-to-door selling subscriptions, I know I always end up looking like they asked if I needed to buy a block of ice for my icebox or some petroleum distillate for my horseless carriage. A look that says "...Really... people still do that?" :) You know Doug, I tend to forget that people still read newspapers.
