Harris has his very lovely idea of forwarding of ideas. Many different people transfer an article or piece from person to person and forward not only the article but also their own opinions of the article itself. Forwarding in itself is a never ending conversation that spans from person to person in an endless chain of ideas and thoughts that continuously has links added to it as it goes from person to person. I have been following the blog instapundit. Now this blog is not really written by Glen Reynolds but rather is put together by him. The blog is a great example of Harris' idea of forwarding. The major thing he does it post links to multiple articles and pieces on his page and uses small paragraphs to add his ideas. I'm not sure if people can post comments on the blog or not but on many pieces that are posted by Reynolds there is an option to comment on the article. The forwarding idea can be good in the fact that is a conversation allowing people to communicate over the internet. However, most of the time when a person does post a comment that is where he/she enters the conversation yet ends their involvement in it. Ideas go on and on but the person and authors origination the ideas don't. This is one of the biggest problems with the forwarding concept. Instapundit is an example of this forwarding and here is one of the articles that he recently forwarded. Be careful of the website though. It's for guys.
