It would probably be a bad thing if these fast-tests began to replace the old-form. Together though they seem to work fine. Maybe there is a place for the old coots and their typewriters. I've been trying to figure out ways we could blend live text messaging into our city blog in Toronto. Like quick reports from the field. Which i could do I suppose with my blackberry-ish device, but it doesn't always seem very exciting -- and not unlike in the old old days when a reporter would phone in a story to his paper from the scene. It would be good if there was a way to be more geographically located, or something. Anyway, text-casting has some interesting potential.

They suddenly find there is less of a market for their skills. They carry with them an aura of out-of-fashionness overnight. I'm not saying that this will definitely, necessarily happen in the case of sports journalism. I'm just noting minor shifts, attempting to define a larger trend before it happens. Precisely.

Like the old stodgy folks who can't adapt? I suppose they might be a little like silent film stars freaked out when things went talkie. How do you see other writers stranded?
