Especially given the recent buzz (at least on this side of the pond) about widgets. Sometimes it seems like all newspaper executives share a hive brain, and suddenly, almost overnight, they think widgets are vital and must be developed at any cost. If I only knew what happens to them to spur the hive brain into action, I would try to get mobile into the queue. Short of that mystery process, I'm stumped. They are all carrying smart phones on their belts. Is it possible they don't know how to use them? Many of them have teenage children. Is it possible they can't see how their children consume and interact with information? Paul, I’m not really sure. Especially given the recent buzz (at least on this side of the pond) about widgets.

I suppose the real question is: what do we do about that? I also keep harping on about mobile being the next big step, but get the same blank looks.

I love my BlackBerry -- it's great for reading e-mail and RSS. But it does not do video. Well … yes, I would agree. I love my BlackBerry — it’s great for reading e-mail and RSS.
