So by now I’m sure everyone knows that the Writers Guild of America is on strike.
The quick version is that the writers (understandably) want better residual profits from DVD sales, and a fair cut of internet and other “new media“ sales.
It’s one thing for a Mom & Pop business, non-profit on a shoestring or even a small completely offline company to have obviously outdated, terrible websites.
It’s another for just about any other business taking themselves seriously, in the year 2007, to have a poor web presence.
So apparently there’s a very candid and telling interview with Michael DeAloia over on Meet the Bloggers being passed around by Cleveland Web Standards Association folks.
Apparently he talks very openly about the sorry state of the Cleveland technology scene, and according to Web Standards Superfriends Eric G. Wiley and Chris Miller it’s worth checking out.
Brendan Cullen is a web designer, web adventurer and all-around good guy currently living in Cleveland, Ohio.
