It's about realizing that we, as newspaper editors and writers, don't really know what the public's interested in anymore ... and certainly not what each individual person out there is interested in. So, why not give them the keys to all of our stuff, the ability to add or write the other things that interest them and the tools to combine/mix/promote/share all of it.
