Story.

Seems like the more things change, the more some things stay the same.

Story. Beyond formats. Beyond time.

Is 2008 the year for you to "remarkabalize" your story?

Great post. Makes you wonder where the story will come from in the future if it is all online only.

Well, I suspect there will always be "something" to capture the story. Perhaps it will become a matter of which types of stories will be more meaningful and important as time moves on.

Thanks, Kevin for dropping by. Now you got -ME- thinking :-)

Shakespeare, Aristophanes, Homer; It's always been story, even before there was a format.

Tom, you also forgot. Wire, grammaphone, 78, 33, 45, cassette, 8 track, CD, ipod, protools, etc. In the music world it's all about the song. Paperback Writer being played off a old Radio Shack cassette deck through a bullhorn is still better than a Britney Spears concert in 5.1! Don't bore us, get to the chorus...
