Umm…Lutz has been blogging on FastLane for like…I dunno…half a year now? It took Wendland THIS long to figure this out?? PC Mike…maybe needs to be spending more time in the blogosphere!

Actually,the only reason it hit the mainstream is that autoblog actually covered it because he had a Video Podcast this week to talk about and show off the Camaro…mmm…pretty moving pictures and lights… :)

Agree. It's an amazing step forward from a cultural perspective. Just looking at the comments on the Lutz's piece, it seems to have tapped into a deep well of consumer interest.

It could become a great tool for GM, if they have the discipline to do it right and not get scared or overwhelmed.

So far, it seems like they are doing it right.

The PR agency behind this probably deserves some of the credit for making the blog happen.

You can thank the MPAA and their fight against DeCSS for your lack of nickels. The disappearance of hyperlinks from online newspapers is due to a court case[1] in which the judge ruled that hyperlinks to copyrighted material were illegal. Although this was a ruling against the 2600 website, other online newspapers have interpreted this to mean that they too could be held accountable for links to questionable sites. But note that “the judgment did not specifically prohibit 2600 from providing non-hyperlinked URLs of web sites that provide DeCSS”, which is why you’ll find non-hyperlinked URLs at the end of, for example, some New York Times articles.
