What's the Big Idea? It's Your Job to Discover It - Small Agency Diary - Advertising Age - 1 views

  • it is not the technique by which they communicate their brand, but the communication itself that connects the brand to the psyche of a consumer. As long as there is a need for an idea, there is a demand for what we do. In other words, we will always be in business as long as we create new ways to communicate brand stories.
  • Just because you have a venue for a conversation, such as social media, doesn't mean the consumer will have a conversation. We are the conversation makers. We are the ones that think of what to talk about.
  • Ideas become big when they are in the right place at the right time.

  • Ideas ahead of their time aren't big.
  • The need to have an intimate connection between customer and product will always be paramount to marketers. Those who understand how to create this connection will be in high demand regardless of the technological venue through which it is communicated.

Networks Wary of Apple's Push to Cut Show Prices on iTunes - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • If Apple cut the price of each TV episode in half — to 99 cents, from $1.99 — would sales on iTunes increase enough to offset the price drop?
  • Separately, Apple has proposed to some networks that the store sell a subscription package of popular TV shows. At a price some reports have set at $30 a month, the subscription service would be a direct threat to entrenched cable and satellite providers.
  • Pricing is coming up now in part because Apple is keen — some TV executives privately say desperate — to line up content for the iPad, the tablet computer to be available in March.

Firms at odds over broadband plan - Bangor Daily News - 0 views

  • FairPoint, which quietly has been expanding its broadband footprint since it took over Maine operations from Verizon Communications in early 2008, claims that the mostly federally funded Three Ring Binder network duplicates what FairPoint is building.
  • Allison estimated that the network of “dark fiber” associated with his project would offer 10 times more space than what FairPoint offers.
  • that amounts to a monopoly for FairPoint, whereas the Three Ring Binder would be offered on an open access model to any telecommunications company that wants to use it.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Allison said FairPoint’s efforts to stall the project could result in the evaporation of $25.4 million in federal stimulus money and about $7 million that has been invested privately.
  • LD 1697 would prohibit the state and divisions of the state from providing telecommunications services to clients outside the government sector.
  • The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Stacey Fitts, a Pittsfield Republican, and FairPoint representatives believe that the Three Ring Binder will enable its partners to offer services at a lower price because of the federal subsidy.
  • The Three Ring Binder will run on 36,000 poles across Maine. Roughly half of the poles are owned by FairPoint, which can’t deny access but can be a pain in the neck, Allison said.

Survey Finds Slack Standards at Magazine Web Sites - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Only a third of the Web sites reported making a profit.
  • More than half the magazines put their entire print editions online free. Four percent put all or almost all print content behind a paywall, and 10 percent put some of it behind a paywall. The rest post only some of their print output online, but all of it free.
  • About 49 percent of unprofitable Web sites gave away all of their content, and 65 percent of profitable Web sites did the same.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • “The conventional wisdom is that you have to be there first in order to get traffic, and you need traffic in order to sell ads, therefore you do not have time to do conventional copy-editing and fact-checking.”
  • More than 40 percent of the sites depended on staff members to approve comments at their discretion, while just over 10 percent did not moderate comments at all. A slightly larger percentage used an automatic system to filter for comments that included offensive words or spam.

iPAD Learning LAB by The MASIE Center - 0 views

  • the interaction with the internet and some Apps is like a window on the world of learning. You peel back the layers and engage with the material in an almost tactile way. This is potentially the best learning device I have ever used.
  • I’ve already used an app that Elliott suggested called Goodread as a way to view and store documents on the iPad and I expect we will see similar developments in the future
  • I am quite intrigued to see how the format of iPAD newspapers will change. 
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • the price point was perfect ... for me the user and also for the developer, who will get loads more action at $1.99.  In fact, if the App were $20.00, I doubt they would sell any.
  • I have suddenly become dependent upon the iPad for my lecture notes, replacing the binders I once used. I'm still thinking about how that's going to change my teaching.
  • There is a significantly deeper and more exploratory user experience with the iPAD newspapers.  I have been reading the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and USA Today on the iPAD on a daily basis.  My reactions have mirrored those of other users, as we are touching more articles, manipulating in an intuitive way and find the content significantly more accessible than both the paper and traditional web formats.  It will be key for news publishers to continue to evolve the feature set and user interface as this genre evolves.
