    Hey guys –

    Orvis has recently fired up a really high quality blog on a new site called OrvisNews.com.

    Nice, but I notice most of the content is podcasts.

    Nice, but I notice most of the content is podcasts.  I wonder if the written word is dead.

    With all of the texting, tweeting, ETC going on, I am not sure you could read (interpret) anything written by someone under 25.

    I’m sure they’ll get around to a lot of writing as well; one good reason to hire Phil.

    This thing is just getting off the ground.

    In my business we do a lot of report writing.

    In my business we do a lot of report writing.  I’ve noticed the younger guys have some difficulty getting there thoughts on paper in a logical and readable fashion.  I had one fellow who graduated Magna Cum Laude, but couldn’t write worth a toot.  Maybe I should have had him writing in Latin. 😕

    Bob, quite a few of us are young here, myself included. Im not sure that I get where you are going, especially with the influx of social media from my generation, which is ironically written.

    To me your comment is no different than me saying “old people don’t know how to use computers!” A generalization!

    I love the new approach towards anglers that Orvis has taken. I especially like the destination videos. Im sure that Phil will do well with it.

    Hi Dunfly-

    Thanks so much for checking out OrvisNews.com. Having been the guy who has posted the podcasts to OrvisNews.com, I can tell you that it is not mostly podcasts 🙂

    Hey James –

    Welcome to the board, man.  James is a good dude, y’all.  I did try to comment earlier today and it failed; let us know when it’s good to go man.  I am loving the dogs section.  If I didn’t control myself I’d have to build an outdoor kennel…

    PS I turn thirty Nov 6.

    I’m an old geezer.  My wife just informed me I’m officially a senior citizen (I turned 62 on September 28).  I definately know how to use a computer, so I guess some youngsters can write. 😉

    James, thanks for chiming in.
