displaying RSS feeds as html web pages.

:: Press Releases a Dying
Breed?
02/19/2006
Steve Rubel has a great post about
bloggers invading the space of bloggers -
Google has come out swinging, defending their
stance in the DOJ search data matter. However, they
did not issue a press release. Rather they went
with a blog post by Nicole Wong, Associate General
Counsel. AP takes notice. I think the tide has turned.
The press release is dying. Someone ought to do
a study tracking daily press release volumes. I
bet they're decreasing in favor of blogging.
