One reason for Conan (and anyone with similar status) <i>not</i> to switch to the internet is that on mainstream media competition has a high entry barrier - very few people get a show on NBC, or a column in the NY Times - while online a PR piece by Revision3 can get published on a major news website like any other content.<p>If you're a newcomer who wants to compete with Conan O'Brien, the web can be a good starting point. If you <i>are</i> Conan O'Brien, the web is suicide.
