Thanks for your comment, Saul. Perhaps the term journalism is too wide. Do you expect to be competing with newspapers on hard news, for example the health care debate and the war in Afghanistan? Are you saying that there are many areas such as the music industry that should be highly monetizable where you'll be making a strong play? Can you clarify that for me? Thanks.

Gil. I bet to differ with regard to Seed. We are very much about journalism. We are also, of course, about applying the journalist's tools to vast array of topics that people want to read about online. We are just getting going, but you can see some of how we're thinking about this in our project to hire writers to interview all 2000 bands that will play next month at the South By Southwest music festival. You can read about that here: http://blog.seed.com/2010/01/28/seed-sends-repo...
