Still on the same subject, there is much discussion today in the traditional media of the instantaneous nature of information and of the way in which people view current news and data from a short-term perspective. Do you think a website like yours, Facebook entries and other blogs only serve to emphasize this approach?
I'm thinking here about Facebook, because I use this medium a great deal. Naturally, my entries are in chronological order. Anyone wishing to review my profile can see what I've been up to, but won't get much of a long-term perspective.
Is there any basis for this concern? Since people decide for themselves how they will be using the data, shouldn't this be an opportunity to possibly give them a more long-term perspective of an MP's or government's accomplishments? How do think this affects how people perceive their work in the short-term?
