Brian Fuller’s blog on the state of media and communications

Howdy

Posted on | June 15, 2006 | No Comments

Welcome to the inaugural post of Greeley’s Ghost, a forum I hope, for you and I to discuss the changing nature of media and technology and blow off some steam in the process.

This is a strange feeling, beginning this blog. I started the first one for my publication, EE Times, some six years ago. I was a voice in the wilderness and blogging was really in its infancy. Our publishing tools were crude at best and my efforts to get others to join in the fun fell mostly on deaf ears. Today, this is the medium and the medium, as McLuhan said, is the message.

It’s also strange because I started my career in publishing back in my early teen years. I had Sports Illustrated’s All-Time, All-Star Baseball game — a stats-based dice game. I played it religiously and then I typed (on a classic Underwood manual) the box scores and player stats and added a little commentary. I distributed this newsletter to myself. Talk about a great feedback loop!

Me: “Hey this newsletter is fantastic!”
Me: “Yeah, thanks. I worked hard on it.”

This time the feedback loop is the joy of thinking and writing and the readers’ interaction. Brave new world indeed.

Thanks for coming.

p.s. Why Greeley’s Ghost? Horace Greeley was a legendary newspaper editor in the 19th century, most known for his famous line “Go West, young man.”

    I’ve seen Greeley’s quote followed by the comment “He stayed back East and made a fortune.”
