  • "What I believe—and this is what we're putting to the test—is that as you're putting something online free of charge, you may lose a few sales, but you'll gain other sales because more people will know about it," said Frances Pinter, Bloomsbury Academic's publisher.
  • She would like Bloomsbury Academic to demonstrate that publishers can add editorial value to scholarship without having to choose between locking it down or giving it all away.

    The Power of the Link
  • Helen Nam on 17 Sep 08
     
    I think the writer touches on two things that are very important for Internet readers: they want to see something else and they want to see what's next. Yahoo, Drudge, Google -- these sites update regularly, and they update frequently. Readers/users who visit these sites are looking for something new, something close to whatever they were previously reading, and they are looking for it to come to them quickly.

Twitter, Flickr, Facebook Make Blogs Look So 2004 - 0 views

  • Writing a weblog today isn't the bright idea it was four years ago.
  • Scroll down Technorati's list of the top 100 blogs and you'll find personal sites have been shoved aside by professional ones.
  • ssional ones. Most are essentially online magazines:
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • When blogging was young, enthusiasts rode high, with posts quickly skyrocketing to the top of Google's search results for any given topic, fueled by generous links from fellow bloggers. In 2002, a search for "Mark" ranked Web developer Mark Pilgrim above author Mark Twain. That phenomenon was part of what made blogging so exciting. No more. Today, a search for, say, Barack Obama's latest speech will deliver a Wikipedia page, a Fox News article, and a few entries from professionally run sites like Politico.com. The odds of your clever entry appearing high on the list? Basically zero.
  • Further, text-based Web sites aren't where the buzz is anymore. The reason blogs took off is that they made publishing easy for non-techies.
  • Twitter — which limits each text-only post to 140 characters — is to 2008 what the blogosphere was to 2004.
  • And Twitter posts can be searched instantly, without waiting for Google to index them.

    PriceWaterhouseCooper: "One of the things we need to get into context here is that traditional media isn't dead yet and won't be for the next five years. It's very important to think why. The over-50s are helping to sustain traditional media, and also in many of the emerging markets there is still plenty of room for traditional media. The death of traditional media is exaggerated, at least in a five-year context."
