And THIS, I think, is the real problem facing newspapers. Last month I sat for informational interviews with a handful of small business owners in a neighborhood I was thinking of starting a web site in. When I asked them if they were interested in advertising, their first response was sometimes, "but we have our own web site." Gotta have something really special you can offer them. That's why I like what Techmeme does, selling Feed space on the homepage. Clever.
