1. dirkthecow great article on the "daily me" or how the Internet is narrowing our viewpoints, from Nicholas Kristof in the NYT http://bit.ly/lsH3
  2. paulbradshaw @dirkthecow I disagree. He has no evidence the Internet will make that worse.
  3. dirkthecow @paulbradshaw agree he gives no evidence,but my own personal experience mirrors what he says,I follow and read stuff from people 'like me'
  4. paulbradshaw @dirkthecow but we do that offline too -he's suggesting the net makes it worse. Evidence doesn't back that up.
  5. dirkthecow @paulbradshaw but isn't it so that when we all watched the evening news we were forced to hear different opinions, now we filter them more?
  6. paulbradshaw @dirkthecow one stat sticks out in my mind: 46% of people come across news stories while searching for something else
  7. dirkthecow @paulbradshaw another interesting piece is this one on 'homophily' by Oliver Burkeman in The Guardian http://bit.ly/5qPXJ
