Great idea - hard to search, hard to cross-reference, almost entirely linear, slow to consume, much higher production costs. Yup. We need more of that.

- gojomo 16y agoI agree, but I fear we're not typical. (We're on this hyperliterate text-heavy HN site.) For many, reading and text-scanning is harder than watching/listening – hence the love of Qwiki, and the rush to video by all the content-farmers.
- groby_b 16y agoThere are many issues for the content farmers, too: * hard to search => less google juice * hard to cross-reference => less retention, harder to build link farms that aren't ferreted out quickly * slow to consume => higher bandwidth cost Then again, I wouldn't exactly mind if content farmers went out of business :)
