Ala Kanye West: WSJ doesn’t care about Web 2.0!

The Wall Street Journal really doesn’t get it in so many ways. Including, they still are behind a “sign up” wall. Mr. Murdoch, tear down this wall! Oh yeah, and add comments to all stories….

Traditional media outlets like the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times have begun to use some of the tools of social media — blogs, Facebook pages, even Twitter accounts. But they seem a lot less eager to adopt some of social media’s core principles, including a commitment to the two-way nature of the medium and all that it represents. This means a lot more than just talking about “the conversation” and how great it is to get links or comments. It’s about taking those comments seriously, responding to them regardless of whether they are positive or negative, and incorporating that approach into the way you do your job. It’s about looking at “journalism,” broadly-speaking, as a process rather than an artifact. – from Gigaom
