    He's correct.

    A lesson that is often painfully learned, I'm afraid.

    I recently attended a conference about how to use the internet to our advantage. One of the first things one of the key speakers said was that it was a HUGE mistake to start giving our stories away for free online.

    You would have thought that might have been obvious from the start, but this is the industry that never figured out how to put papers in a machine that didn't allow you to pay for one and take them all.

    That was just the low-tech version of giving the product away for free. Pre-internets.

    I couldn't get through it. I have an aversion to reading long-form stuff while sitting online.

    It'll be in Esquire, March 2008. That way you can have the hard copy in front of you. Regardless, amazing, sad, brutal read.

    I've never been an evangelist for anything the way I'm an evangelist for The Wire.
