Alright, the never-ending debate. Let's start it. I began my interest in the Twilight Saga as a vampire enthusiast. I loved watching history channel shows on the myths and stories surrounding vampires and so I quickly latched unto the Cullen family, Edward in particular, when the movie hit theaters. However, I can no longer see what the fuss is about. In fact, I've switched camps. I ...
..., but I don't think that invalidates it as storytelling (just makes the storytellers jerks, and ties in with their other gender issues, but that's a whole 'nother thing).

...are better than stories because they aren't scripted" category. Many of the Wunderbar festival sessions have much in common with the concept of interactive art, and this is a pretty uncomplicated application of interactivity to a lovely theatre show premise. The premise is so simple, but it did take me quite a few paragraphs to explain all the stylistic enhancements; at one level, these are just ...
... I agree that there are serious differences between blogging taken as a whole and journalism taken as a whole, a relative lack of editing on blogging's part, say, greater spontaneity, greater interactivity.
