The only real tin foil hat contender is Google - they told him to kill the anti-Google rhetoric on TW, or else seobook.com would be delisted. ;) I’m curious - why would you even suggest SEL or SEOmoz buying out TW?

Not everyone is an avid feed reader, and even when you are, all you get is the original spin. Expand your feed to include numerous perspectives, and unles you're in the business of editing search industry commentary (or you simply enjoy reading all day long), it's too much work. What I like most about the blog web is the way some people take things literally, others take them cynically/sarcastically, and others immediately show how much they want to know what something *really means*... I believe that's called character, expressed. Most editorial is purported to be opinion on fact; TW editorial was largely opinion on that character. In the search/SEM biz, it seems character is more important than fact. If you can read the character, you learn more than you learn from the spin. Thanks to everyone for showing your faces.

Most likely not. It's called threadwatch, and the idea of it was to follow forum threads, right? And things have changed. So, like Danny says, we're all about using RSS readers now, right?
