all that is digital

How About this New Form Of Communication! "This week we moved into our new offices in New York City. Among the highlights, is a giant wall of headlines. Richard Edelman gives us a tour. There's something about headlines that still gives me goosebumps. I hope that even in the age of streams, headlines don't lose their punch. Another noteworthy item in our new offices is a giant HP Touchsmart PC. I had

Flipping abundance and scarity I think it's dangerous and often fatal to put free on top of an existing business model. Things fall apart. People look at the free revolution and say, "oh, that could never work. If I gave x, y or z away for free, I'd fail." They're right. They will fail... If they keep the model the same and just give away stuff for free. The way you win is by reinventing the model itself. So, for example, lululemon doing giant free yoga classes in New York. The more people come, the more clothes they'll sell... it'll become a movement. Or Crossfit, publishing their insane work outs online. The more people do them, the better the scarce part (private coaching, etc.) does. We spent a generation believing certain parts of our business needed to be scarce and that advertising and other interruption should be abundant. Part of the pitch of free is that when advertising goes away, you need to make something else abundant in order to gain attention. Then, and only then, will you be able to sell something that's naturally scarce. This is an uncomfortable flip to make, because the stuff you've been charging for feels like it should be charged for, and the new scarcity is often difficult to find. But, especially in the digital world, this is happening, and faster than ever.

I have found to date a few solid efforts in the application category which I use ! Zemanta Twitter Adaptive Blue Glue Mac Journal and Evernote ! Louis Gray as well as Dave Winer http://www.scripting.com/ both give in my opinion the most honest and astute product reviews ! I feel that the most promising Firefox add on is http://www.adaptiveblue.com/ and Zemanta http://www.zemanta.com/ is a work of Semantic and Technical Art ! I find myself using Nsyght a lot http://www.nsyght.com/ I may not be the average internet user since I am 72 years old with little or no Tech knowledge, if it is not easy to use I don't use it !

Twitter does give me data but I am not overly interested in Social Media or Tech and wish they would create other streams with the application Like A stream for Literature Art etc !

Fred Wilson Here is one question and my answer: CM: Historically, as the economy comes out of recession, it creates transformation and change. Which segments have the potential for transformation in an eventual recovery? FW: Every industry that is based on knowledge or information or some other form of non-physical matter (atoms vs bits) is going to fundamentally transform and this downturn will be the darwinian forcing function.

« The Wisdom of Negativity | Main August 26, 2008 Open Season I am just back from vacation and was sent a link to Jason Calacanis' monomaniacal riff in his subscriber based email on the shortcomings of PR people, titled, "How to Get PR for Your Startup; Fire Your PR Company." Captain Ahab has nothing on Mr. Calacanis. Catch a few of his choicest cuts from the white whale (PR): * Journalists hate PR people …if they say otherwise, they are lying, placating you, or just being diplomatic; * PR people are selling you a share of their relationships with journalists and their relationships are typically on shaky ground; * When I was a journalist I would not speak to PR people about my stories; * PR people are an inefficiency in the system; * Journalists are constantly getting banged by lazy, clueless PR people who fire first and don't understand what the word "aim" means; * You don't need a PR firm, you don't need an in-house PR person, and you don't need to spend ANY money to get amazing PR

Charlene Li becomes the first person I've interviewed twice in this Global Report. I justify that because in the 54 weeks since the previous interview, a great deal has happened. She co-authored Groundswell the enterprise playbook for enterprise multimedia. She completed a nine-year tenure at Forrester Research and as I write this report, is putting the finishing touches on Altimeter, her new speaking and consulting service.

« @Firefox_Answers & @ComcastCares--a lopsided comparison | Main August 24, 2008 I'm Speaking in China. Why this Excites me. I'm reading Nixon and Mao by Margaret MacMillan. Until the year 2000, Nixon was my least favorite president, but as I read this recounting of his 1972 trip to what we then called "Red China," I cannot help but acknowledge the greatness of what he achieved by being the first US president to set foot in China. It really was a trip that changed the world. I recall the controversy of the time. Some TV reporter--either Dan Rather or Sam Donaldson--stuck a microphone in front of Henry Kissinger, Nixon's closest adviser and secretary of state who had engineered the trip."Mr. Secretary," he was asked, "what does the United States expected to gain out of this China junket?" The implication was that the trip was nothing but political PR. Many of us suspected that it was no more than a stunt.
