It made more sense than Pat Thornton has in his entire life. It probably made more sense than Pat Thornton will ever make. And to KJames: Many people do not understand forums. I still have people who say: "Why did you make your site that way?" Well, I guess that question might be correct in the most basic sense. But overall, it's pretty lame. Much like Pat.

It's a forum... so, it does what a forum does. And Daniel, a Google Group is a forum. That's all it is, just not a very good one. Are you guys that dense? It’s a forum… so, it does what a forum does.

Whereas I think it's a great idea to have a place for discussing creativity and change in journalism, I don't think a forum is the best place to do it. For one, I couldn't even find an RSS feed to subscribe to. Maybe a Google Group would be a better tool for this use case. I agree with @Chris.

I'm not exactly sure what the point of Twentysomethingjournalist.com is? What is the point of it? I looked on it, and it looks just like a forum for people to sound off. Perhaps they should have thought more about the content of the site rather than just an eye-catching title? I’m a 26-year-old freelance journalist with my own site http://www.plentyonyourplate.com.

It's not meant to be an attack on anyone. But I'm sure some cranky newspaperman somewhere is seething after seeing <a href="http://www.twentysomethingjournalist.com/" rel="nofollow">Twenty Something Journalist</a>. Also, this post was a way to test ad sense on this blog. And so far, my ads have not been very targeted. @Dan and maybe Marc,

Does this mean I have to get off the internet? (I'm all for changing journalism for the message to be important, not the medium, but the ageist attack is waaaay off the mark...) Oh dear, I’m 30.
