Jeff Jarvis has replied to my review of his book What Would Google Do? on his blog.
His conclusion is that old media commentators such as myself tend to be out of touch, or perhaps biased as a result of where they work, and should be replaced by younger, fresher voices.
In principle, I am a fan of the idea of book authors responding to reviewers online (indeed, Chris Anderson and I had an interesting online debate about his book Free and my review of it). So I have to commend Jeff for his lively response to my review.
I plan to respond in due course. In the meanwhile, I commend it with one proviso: do read my original review rather than take Jeff’s word for what I said.
