A new word for print newspapers: "snailpapers"


Dan Bloom has come up with a new word for newspapers. He calls them “snailpapers.” Only the longtime newspaperman insists this is a term of endearment, not derision. He thinks maybe if newspapers poked more fun at themselves instead of getting all righteously indignant about new media, they would generate more sympathy.

“We have aways had news sources with different temporal characteristics. It really didnt start getting real time until broadcasting arrived.
Before that newspapers were quick, magazines slower, news annuals and books about news events much slower.The problem for newspapers today is to accept the fact they no longer have speed on their side and to adjust their content accordingly.”

I am the kind of guy who loves to seek unprecedented things. Currently I'm constructing my own pv panels. I am managing it all alone without the help of my staff. I am utilizing the internet as the only path to acheive this. I discovered a very amazing site which explains how to create photovoltaic panels and so on. The place explains all the steps needed for solar panel construction.

I'm not exactly sure about how correct the data given there is. If some people over here who had xp with these works can have a look and give your feedback in the page it would be awesome and I'd really value it, cauze I really like [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com/diy-solar-panel-construction-is-it-really-possible]solar panel construction[/URL].

Tnx for reading this. You people are the best.
