I think it's a bit premature to dismiss the power to publish any media oneself as something of yesterday. It's not "new" anymore, but if other media (printing press, television, for two) are any indication, it's way way way too early to try to define what online publishing is or isn't going to be. We're still at the test-pattern broadcast stage.
