bloggingheads: should-see TV
Bloggingheads 10.3.06
David Corn, James Pinkerton
I'm recommending the whole diavlog. David Corn hits a lot of nails right on the head in a composed and convincing fashion.
There are a number of notable info-age moments, such as at 49:00 or so (a little after I think): Mr. Corn does something conventional broadcast media cannot yet do effectively, which is to "hyperlink" by pointing with his words and gestures to a link to substantive content incorporated by reference into the discussion.
The key difference: the link lives next to the video screen, in the same medium. Now that is rich dialogue! (think 'rich text'). (A reader suggested that one might call it hyperdialogue h/t truthboy but I think rich dialogue sounds better yes, the reader and the writer are one and the same in this instance.)
See rich dialogue in action in this 35 second snippet:
Watch the whole thing!
