The Wall Street Journal basically did not change its front for about a century and was just sold for $6 billion. Meanwhile other newspapers are going for pennies on the dime for what they sold for five years ago.
Change for the sake of change is stupid.
And FR is far more easy to use and find information than any blog I see.

Never heard of him before he started posting on HH's blog, either. Here's his
"About" page.

Cannoneer No. 4: I believe philetus just demonstrated your point.”
I think the point is on the top of your heads.
Both of your posts in this thread are designed to try to convince Freepers they are wasting their time on FR.
In other words, IMHO, both of you are trolls.

FR is and has been way ahead of the so called "Web 2.0" blog site in a few regards. We have self search. We can search and review the posting history of posters. We have a history and traditions.
I may wish that the purges were less, or even wish that so many good posters hadn't moved up to more aethereal realms. But we seem to be getting new members and are replenished with youth.
And I disagree that the WAPO LAT settlement is good law, and hope it will someday be stricken down -- for we should be able to extract under fair use. What a burden to apt discussion it is to not be able to quote the pertinent parts of articles or even to post links!

I disagree completely with the tone set by this article.
The author makes a moral and functional equivalence between FR and Daily Kos with the description of FR as the “Daily Kos of the right”.
It isn’t. He thinks the function of someplace like FR is to rally people to swarm to online polls and sway them en-masse or to raise money.
It is neither of those things. It is a place to discuss issues and ideas, something not ACTUALLY done on liberal analogs like DU and Daily Kos. Not to say it is without emotion, bias and occasional mistreatment by both admins and other posters, but it is not the howling at the moon environment like DU.

I viewed their point as a call to engage in real conversation and debate, rather than come up with one line rebuttels that add nothing.

Hugh seems to have forgotten the major role F/R played with the whole Dan Rather Fontgate / TNG story in 2004.FROM THE ARTICLE...did ya even READ IT??
Finally, lets look at the center-right blogosphere. Its watershed moments were 9/11 and CBS memogate.

I’m not interested in supposed popular mechanisms as much as long term character. Vigorous inter party fights where a hallmark of Hiltlers Germany, New York City teachers organizations and local bowling teams. Proving nothing.
I’ve watched the party higher ups, and staff, since before Reagan. By and large they have been unimaginative, poorly communicative dullards, and of a type. Often they assumed, if not depended upon, popular disgust with Democrats as proof of their effective works. When in fact they where little more than wasteful inheritors.

KOS is even more of a DNC site than liberal!The Sheehan purging was interesting, as it gave KOS the opportunity to show their DNC credits. But as there IS no conservative Democrat contingent anymore, I stand with my original comment. It's Democrat Party Liberalism.

a plea to add more interactive, web 2.0 features I have wondered about the Wikipedia issue. I think the Wiki software, and even content, is more or less open source. If that's true, I'd wonder if John Robinson could grab a copy of Wikipedia, put it on a server, and allow us to edit it into a frankly conservative version of the "objective" (read, "liberal") original.
I can however envision that causing flame wars and opuses, since it would entail codifying precisely what conservatism is and is not. Conceivably it could be made to have several different flavors, so that factions could be represented in parallel universes sharing a common body of noncontroversial reference material . . .

They could, but then they’d have to meet the unwashed. So, no cold finger sandwiches for us.
