Things Our Friends Have Written on the Internet 2008 was a neat project: producing a tabloid newspaper featuring highlights from a bunch of blogs. The Printed Blog takes it to the next level — a proposed daily newspaper filled entirely with so-called “user generated content”. The publishers say it will be distributed for free, along the lines of MX, with editions tailored to different neighbourhoods. I hope it succeeds (and pays at least some of the bloggers) but if it’s “laid out like a blog instead of in columns” it will probably be ugly.
