"... No. I find the Internet virtually useless in that respect. The problem with the Internet is that you can read Web page after Web page and never get the sense that you are either hearing the straight story, or learning something new. So much of it seems incomplete, half-baked, or just repackaged information."
From an interview with Richard Preston on page 298 of "The New New Journalism : Conversations with America's Best Nonfiction Writers on Their Craft: - by Robert Boynton.
I think the key is that when it comes to being an interesting writer; spending time on the web or in front of a computer is never a replacement for real world experience, interviews, conversations, library searches, reading books and magazines, and hard work.
That's why this blog is so boring :-0
