All Dressed Up, No Place To Go

That's a funny expression, isn't it? I was thinking of it vis-a-vis blogging. I was thinking of the simple not-dressed-up graphic style of a blog versus the very professional overdressed style of a corporate website. It's about graphics but it's also about language.

Look at this: Official PDC site talking about the fires in LA which delayed planes for attendees and their assistance to PDC'ers.

Now look at this: Scoble's blog and his real live human reporting of the insane problems everyone was having trying to get from home to airport to LA or San Diego or Santa Barbara or whatever.

Which one feels REAL?

Which one feels trustworthy?
