Trying to make money
Looks like a comment I made on Buzz.ca has stirred the pot over at CANOE. As I told some of my former colleagues, the item wasn't intended mean-spiritedly, but more as a comment on how Web content sites are searching out ways to generate cash. I feel it's an especially relevant topic in light of what's happened with Spingboard.ca, the Automatic Media gang, and possibly Salon.
Post script: Nowhere in my wildest imagination did I expect my brief comment to generate such animosity. A discussion about ways Web sites can bring in some money, yes, but this….
Anyway, in an effort to show my support for CANOE I have indeed bought an "ad", although don't expect to see my dad on CANOE. The reason? No flattering electronic pics of him, lots about our history, but no pictures.
