Bermuda: Web 0.9

The Limey praises local paper the Bermuda Sun for publishing a story on last Friday's demonstration on its web site the same afternoon, prompting the Royal Gazette to retort that “its reporters and editors were busy getting Saturday's paper out.” But the Limey doesn't buy it: “in my opinion, the problem is that the RG (and the MON) do not place as much importance on their website as the Sun is starting to do. There have been other occasions when the Sun has broken a story on its website while the RG has been content to wait until the next day. Even after the RG's reporters and editors have produced a version of the paper, it's not unusual for it to fail to appear online. . . . Elsewhere in the world they’re talking about “Web 2.0”. Here in Bermuda, it sometimes seems like we're stuck in the pre-Web 1.0 era.”
