Can't stop me from posting this. To start the weekend:#empirestateofmind

Curating inspirations, thinking around, enjoying great food.
German Blog over at:

Euromail vs. Amerimail. - By Eric Weiner - Slate Magazine
http://www.slate.com/id/2115223/
The fact is, Europeans and Americans approach e-mail in a fundamentally different way. Here is the key point: For Europeans, e-mail has replaced the business letter. For Americans, it has replaced the telephone.

"I don’t really watch TV too often, but I like Political reports. Yesterday’s report was, again, about Social Networking in Germany. We have two big state sponsored media institutions, ARD and ZDF, bound to deliver high-quality political and historical content dedicated to make us smart enough that we’re not becoming Nazis again. That works more or less. Unfortunately these channels seem to be run by editors who either don’t understand or don’t want to focus on the many positive aspects of the social web.
After interesting comments and reactions on the Blog there is not a single word to add.
My hope is that, in the end, "the media market" will regulate itself.
Consumers will hopefully abandon old fashioned TV , changing to sources where someone understands ongoing change. In my opinion "voting with your remote, keyboard or mouse" is the only way to really change things.
Just hope we're gonna be quick enough and not all members of olders generations will already by scared away by "that Internet thing" before they have a real chance of getting to know its possibilities.
