Not sure where that will lead, so we'll see.<BR/><BR/>Eire, good point, but I do think there are ways to add other voices to a blog like this and still keep it relevant and popular. That's why I'd like to talk with anyone who might become a contributor so that I can make sure it's a good fit.Joe Wikerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898067591293359566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338977976954280982.post-14249307752761957122009-01-26T10:45:00.000-05:002009-01-26T10:45:00.000-05:00I think it's odd that some blog owners - such as ...I think it's odd that some blog owners - such as yourself - think of themselves as somehow detached from the "blog brand". What put you at the top of Kindlefeeder is not your blog title or frequency of posts but <I>you</I>, your personality, style and choice of post topics.<BR/><BR/>It reminds me of how the "BookSlut" authoress was taken over by a new guy who was, frankly, horrible. As is usually the case -- since good blogging is not transferable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338977976954280982.post-23299986400324309392009-01-25T21:09:00.000-05:002009-01-25T21:09:00.000-05:00Joe,I'm thinking that zero responses to your post ...Joe,<BR/>I'm thinking that zero responses to your post sums it up.<BR/>I love the Kindle for book reading--and I read a lot of books.<BR/>But I have become completely disenchanted with it for periodicals.<BR/>I initially took the IHT, but decided that paying for a rehash of various other pubs made no sense. I'm still getting Forbes, but I prefer getting forbes.com online because it's current. Forbes info on the Kindle is no better than the 2 week old print version.<BR/>I'm still doing the Financial Times, but find that their iPhone version is pretty adequate, albeit missing some subscription-based stuff.<BR/>I pay for the WSJ online and find that what I can get on the iPhone covers about 3/4 of what I might want on the main version.<BR/>Ultimately, there interface is fine for books but way too clunky for news-type pubs. <BR/>In addition, by way of example the NYT iPhone does a great job of including at least one great color pic. No color--and virtually no images--on the Kindle.<BR/>You are dead right. It sure looks like they stopped serious development on the K.<BR/>Thanks for being a fab pioneer with your Kindle blog. It's probably time to move on.<BR/>As for the iPhone, I see it as the metaphor of the future of information distribution.<BR/>Newtnewtbarretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764738454540222415noreply@blogger.com
