A wild blogpost appears.
To be honest I started reading this blog post by Al Tepper because I thought the name (Gutenberg, Berners-Lee, Aristotle, McLuhan, Chomsky, Rubel & Zappa's Eyebrows all walk into a blog post...) was quite funny. But after reading into it a bit I found his opinions very interesting. His view on the internet as a return to an oral tradition (through social networking etc) and as the fall of the "gatekeepers of information" seems to fit very well with the definition of stylepress and lends me to the idea of perhaps, crowd sourcing the content for a stylepress magazine, so that rather than the editor/creator being the inspirational force, the magazine becomes a representation of the collective inspiration of many similar to websites such as designspiration and ffffound. This also becomes a two way relationship between consumer and creator, something not currently seen in stylepress. This could also be a good way of exploring the relationship between stylepress and the internet, forging new connections between the printed book and online material.
