We all create for one another. And our creations assume a life of their own.
Wired Magazine has a nice feature on MTV’s efforts to regain relevance in the minds of their fickle target audience (Wired 15.02: A Second Life for MTV). The concept would be stunning, if it wasn’t already old hat: create a free virtual world where your fans can congregate and be served content, then offer […]
I’ve previously posted about tech and trends in the world of New Media or Media 2.0 or whatever you want to call it. Now I’m ready to mix in some discussion of the content that’s out there, part description and part review. I’d love for anyone out there to comment on these posts […]
PC Magazine has a cover-story article, “Online Video Gets Real.” It’s a nice piece, short and easy to digest, and it discusses, albeit without much insight, ways to make money off Web vid. I recommend checking it out for the links.
There’s a lotta luv in the article for Brightcove, and I think […]
A hyped political Website aggregating news and editorials with some blogging debuted today. Politico aims to be a one-stop shop for politics in the USA. One of it’s differentiating hooks is the absence of a traditional editorial page; instead they offer a “Speak to Power” blog type page where folks can rant. […]
I picked up an interesting story today on the Web. There’s a Nieman report on the Newsroom of the 21st Century, which is one of the best short articles on the subject I’ve read. It’s aptly named “Goodbye Gutenberg.”
The author, Randy Covington, points out that news organizations must acknowledge the extremely disruptive nature […]
Obits? Yes, even obituaries are going New Media. Check out the wonderful Art Buchwald piece offered up by the NY Times.
Somehow, this seems like an important development. If New Media is about breaking down barriers and redefining boundaries, then the obituary is the exemplary target for such reinvention. After all, what’s […]
Apple shook up the mobile phone world with their iPhone announcement. How big is this product to Apple? They changed the name of the company from Apple Computer Inc. to Apple Inc. I think that says something.
Of particular interest to this blog are the iPod and video capabilities of the device. […]
Lots happening in the ole New Media world, most of which is mildly interesting. For example, Netflix have announced they’ll allow movie rentals over the Internet, straight to your PC. Good for them — they recognize they’re dead in the water if they don’t start to offer such a service. But only […]
I started this blog with the thought I’d post each and every day of the business week. Well, I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks, so I suppose I owe an apology to my adoring fans. Or is that fan?
Two very exciting things have happened during my hiatus. Firstly, I was […]
It’s already old hat to dismiss mass produced TV, video, film, and music as 20th Century. Technology has ushered in a personalized and customized media experience. Yet it’s at best non-informative and at worst trite to call this New Media or Media 2.0 — this is truly a revolutionary new movement where we all create for one another. And our creations assume a life of their own.
