I’ve been commenting here for a while about new sources of news and information. Taquitos.net is a perfect example of citizen comment, maybe even citizen journalism of a form, where consumers review snackfoods. There are over 2,400 products reviewed. There are plety of sites like this – putting consumers in charge. Who needs Choice magazine or any similar consumer association review when consumers are speaking directly – if the reviews are from real consumers that is.
The more consumers directly engage in creating content the greater the challenge for aggregators (news and information product) in some sectors.
