Here comes another tech bubble: Could a business mashup like this get funded? |
Bubbletalk (Silicon Alley Insider): Excellent video, if you need a laugh: "Surely we've moved beyond 'It's A Bubble,' but have we also passed 'It's A Bubble Backlash' and gone into 'No, It's Really A Bubble'?"
How an electronic newspaper could become profitable (Crosscut Seattle): "Papers like The Seattle Times are in a tough spot: Online advertising revenue is a long way from covering expenses. Meanwhile, print advertising is vanishing. So why not ditch the presses and trucks and go electronic? It just might pencil out"
AP to Reorganize Work and Accent Multimedia (New York Times): "AP will change the way it files, edits and distributes stories, opening at least four regional editing hubs as part of a plan it calls AP2.0. Also expanding multimedia packages. Moving toward an all-digital platform: Digital Cooperative."
More Than One-Third Of U.S. Pre-Teens Have A Mobile Phone (MediaPost): "Nielsen Co. has published an in-depth study on the mobile media and cross-media behavior of U.S. 'tweens' (ages 8-12). The report estimates that: 35 percent of tweens own a mobile phone, 20 percent of tweens have used text messaging, and 21 percent of tweens have used ring and answer tones."
Broadcaster to Air Speeches to N. Korea (AP): "A U.S. funded radio broadcaster will transmit speeches and debates of leading South Korean presidential candidates beginning this week. Not clear how many North Koreans can listen. North Korean radios are fixed so only state programs can be heard."
Media get fewer police reports (Wisc. State Journal): "The dearth of information comes at a time when public interest in crime is intense. Hundreds of residents attended a series of meetings with police this fall to complain about crime and disorder in their neighborhoods."
L.A. Times Talent Raid on LAist Blog (Web 2.Oh. . .really?):Tony Pierce is "the third LAister to be hired away by the Times. In July sports and entertainment bloggers were called up. ...It's tempting to think that the Times is making a full commitment to embracing the blogosphere. Well, maybe..."
The changing fundamentals of media (Terry Heaton): "Brightcove is ending its video upload service and abandoning any 'market' for user-generated content. Linking its star to traditional media. But what's good for Brightcove doesn't mean that the Internet doesn't change the fundamentals of media."
