ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

Voices in my head

Monday turned out to be a really interesting day of interviews, made more so because of the contrast in guests and subject matter.  I spoke with Stephen Marshall first about baby boomer liberals compromising their principles to support the war in Iraq and the role of economics and corporations in modern war. Marshall is the kind of passionate guy who can barely move his mouth fast enough to get the ideas out.  Then I called David Verklin who is CEO of a major media buying operation.  He buys ads and his whole business is about figuring out how to market to you. His voice is clear and loud and you can see the smile on this face when you hear him and he keeps saying my name and referring to "the book."  Anyway, even if you don't listen all the way through it's funny to hear how different they are.

Next Monday the voice in my head will be Arianna Huffington.  I'll be talking to her at 1 p.m. ET, so again, if there's something you'd like me to include in the interview, drop me a line.  Her book is about "becoming fearless." I'll be reading it over the weekend to find out what that means exactly but it sounds like it won't necessarily be 20 minutes of Bush bashing.
