We need to have a serious discussion of how the editing of blog posts is going to occur. I understand the reasons for CL wanting to have all posts edited before they go live, but I also think that that process is completely counterintuitive to the speed with which the blog should operate. In other words, if it takes 24 hours from the conception of a blog post until it is published, I think that's pretty useless.
I could see how editing during the flow of a normal workday could be made to work (although, I don't want to be the guy who has to stop and edit 75-word posts 19 times a day), but what about posts at night and over the weekend? I assume we're going to be a 24-hour operation here at "Planet Talk," right? How will that work?
