Rob Hof writes for BusinessWeek Online’s Tech Beat - Barry Diller’s Dreams:
“He’s not convinced there’s much for the masses in participatory media, though. “There’s not that much talent in the world,” he says. Talented creators of movies and the like, he adds, “won’t be replaced by 18 million people with their [self-produced] videos.” Challenged by OurMedia cofounder and executive director J.D. Lasica, he shrugs, “That may be an utter birdbrain statement, but it’s mine.”
That said, he says there has never been a greater opportunity for people with a good idea, thanks to the Net’s knocking down barriers to media creation and distribution.”

If there is any video of this exchange, it would be fun to remix it.
