HW 14: Take An Obsession, Then Feed It!

While being interviewed Denton Explains that the formula is actually very simple: "Take an obsession -say, a gadget obsession-and feed it." (Kline & Burstein, pg. 151) Therefore the more you give the audience, the more then will want to read. He is asked whether or not he believes that blogs represent more of an evolution than a revolution. "Yeah, but sometimes it has the effect of a revolution."(Kline & Burstein, pg. 155) Furthermore it can destroy whole industries. After all, at some point, music compression and digital music files collaborated. As a result blogs will begin to transform the news business on a larger scale.
