We should get Jay Moonah over here. ;) You mention the content (i.e. the stories) being different and authentic and yes, that is true...but the point of McLuhan's statement is that the content itself takes a back seat to the means by which the content is being delivered. Hence, my opinion that it is that the freedom arrives in the <em>way</em> the content is delivered. The freedom we gain using these media is a feature of the medium, not the content itself. Or not. ;) Ahhh….McLuhan debates – I love it!

You have a subsection entitled "The Medium is the Message" and in it you talk about freedom and such. You talk about how how we all tell different authentic stories independent of whether we are bloggers, podcasters or whatever. That, to me, is the antithesis of MacLuhan's statement. (BTW, that is fine by me, as postmodern 'analysis' is not that useful in my books). While I agree with much of what is said here (and I also quite enjoy the Dude’s company) I have a question.
