The elimination of channels

Just walking home from the ONA conference and was thinking about their discussion on channels, or sections, and how the traditional newspaper model of segmenting no longer works online. I agree. Someone reading a Paris Hilton story may be the same reader checking out the latest Iraq issues. But I don't agree these silos are going away any time soon. Those sections are tied to revenue streams based on measured and perceived demos. Until dynamic user profiling tech gets way better, we need these channels of navigation.
