While it's easy to argue against his statement about the ease of monetization (does Warren even put ads on his sites?), I'm grateful for the note that burst culture is NOT killing attention spans, and the evidence is Harry Potter. (I'd say further evidence is three-hour epic action movies aimed at the same kids who watch 30-second YouTube clips.)
