    So which are the regular websites visited by the big names at the MIT Center for Future Civic Media conference? I asked people like Jay Rosen, JD Lasica, Amy Gahran, Paul Grabowicz, Henry Jenkins and others to share their favorites.

    Surveying ten or so folks shows that top of the list is Jeff Jarvis' BuzzMachine. It's followed closely by Amy Gahran's E-Media Tidbits and Jay Rosen's Pressthink.

    Dan Gilmor, Romanesko and Mark Glaser's MediaShift are also popular online destinations.

    The problem is that the remedies proposed would undermine the characteristics of the Internet that have made it such a fantastic engine of innovation -- primarily the right to innovate without permission from an incumbent who may be threatened by your innovation.
