I couldn’t have said this better.

Back in February I noted that “one of the drawbacks of online news reading (vs. reading a printed newspaper) is the loss of serendipity. When reading a paper, you turn the page and don’t know what story you’re going to see. You might go right past it, but you might find something you never expected and read it, only to learn something you never expected to find. Online, that serendipity is lost: People generally click to read exactly what they want to read and nothing else.”

That may be changing, at least according to Social Media Today.

Ever wonder why they’re so crude and obvious? Brad Plumer over on Ezra Klein’s Wonkblog has the answer. (Hat tip to News From Me for the heads up on this one.)

“Stuff your eyes with wonder. Live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made up or paid for in factories.”
