    We have to get used to the fact that Twitter and other social media platforms will form powerful means for information transfer, but we have to make sure that we aren't losing anything in the process.

    Seb is the man. He makes some pretty solid points while keeping the importance of bike news in perspective.
    Blatantly biased in favor of Santa Cruz Bikes, Enve Composites, E.13, and The Hive. Just sayin'.

    we can't have a serious discussion about "journalistic integrity" in the cycling industry while things like Mountain Bike Action continue to be published

    also, sorta spammy.

    I still can't use Twitter. No cohesive way to get the specific information I need on a consistent basis. It's literally ramblings and advertisements with links to pets and kids in "tinyurl" format.
    Make it idiot-proof, and someone will make a better idiot.

    Sorry to disappoint you, jK, as I enjoy MBA. Maybe it's because they've printed me 5 times (most recent is January, '13, page 26, discussing my favorite color), maybe it's because McIlvain took my pics at the start of Sea Otter and emailed them to me. Maybe it's because I have no taste. Either way, I like them.....
    Better a participant than a spectator, and always riding with my daughter, Alaina, in her seat.

    It's not the effort, it's the smile.

    Hey man it's cool... I personally have a soft spot for the National Enquirer. I once appeared in a collage between bat boy and Nostradomus.

    However, since others have already gone and let the Gwin-cat out of the bag, we're following suit with the news.
