Axel Vogelsang on 30 Jan 11Eine Reflektion über Populärkultur und die Rolle der Kritik in Zeiten sozialer Medien...: "The point is that authority has migrated from critics to ordinary folks, and there is nothing - not collusion or singleness of purpose or torrents of publicity - that the traditional critics can do about it. They have seen their monopoly usurped by what amounts to a vast technological word-of-mouth of hundreds of millions of people."
