The NO-REPLY CREW FOR SCREENING ON SCREENS AS THE NEW READING....

NO REPLIES from: Clay Shirky, Esther Dyson, Howard Weaver, Vindu Goel (well, he did reply but said "we have no intention of ever covering your cockamamie idea"...or something like that, thanks New York Times...), Erick Schonfeld at TechCrunch seemingly also not interested, as were Dylan Tweeney at Wird and Alexis Madrigal and everyone else there, Michael Cader at Publishers Lunch ( he wrote to me "STOP!" ), David Pogue and John Markoff and Richard Pena and Brad Stone and Brian Stelter at the Times, Jack Schofield in the UK, along with Robert McCrum and Elizabeth Day there, John Vidal and Victor Keegan, too...... and so it goes, Kurt.

Although Jim Romenesko did link the Beam piece to his Romenesko site at Poynter, so there is hope, still. And Hillel Italie at AP in NYC is rumored to be doing something on this reading/screening thing. Maybe big, too. Stay tuned.

Don't hold your breath. New ideas take time. Most are never heard from again.

Par for the course.

Used to it, I am.
