I think the minister meant, additional tax for items not manufactured in Indonesia. If the Blackberry market in Indonesia is so big, doesn’t ministers comment make sense.

]]> Comment on Why more people are reading more lately by Rahul Gaitonde http://www.rahulgaitonde.org/2011/08/why-more-people-are-reading-more-lately/#comment-509 Rahul Gaitonde Sat, 27 Aug 2011 17:47:00 +0000 http://www.rahulgaitonde.org/2011/08/why-more-people-are-reading-more-lately/#comment-509 I think I disagree with that point about content creation now v/s earlier. In an absolute sense there are more people writing more good stuff about more things than there were before: independent publications, newspapers, bloggers, more. News & opinion on the web is arguably more credible than that on any other medium. As a percentage of the total Web population, content creators are declining - that's more a sign that the web's growing, and more a positive development than anything else.Finally, about reading what's shared - the corollary is that more people are also sharing what they read! I'd say the serendipity of great stuff via TW/FB is arguable better than the predictability of Google Reader. I think I disagree with that point about content creation now v/s earlier.

People slowly realised that while creating content (blogs, wikipedia entries) was satisfying to your creativity and sense of philanthropy, copying and pasting was simply easier. I see very little new content created now compared to earlier. Similarly, people are likely to move to just reading what is shared, with no effort to discover anything that has not come to your through Twitter or FB.
