Paul & Dave – great podcast. I was happy to learn that what I’ve spent 10 hours a day immersed in actually had an official sounding name – Web 2.0.
The one thing I would’ve liked to see you guys touch on is the idea of oversaturation… if everyone you meet has a blog, website, or youtube account and everyone can create “content”, does this create an idea of oversaturation? – Too much content, not enough quality?
For me, I rarely give this kind of “everyman” content a chance (even though I’m a fan of much of it), because I’ve experienced so many bad blogs, short films, podcasts, songs, etc.
With all this competition, how does quality content rise to the top?
