Hockenberry was a longtime correspondent for Dateline NBC and went from there to the MIT Media Lab. It's hard to think of anyone more qualified to assess the news industry's relationship to new technology. And although the article does eventually devolve into (juicy) carping about his former employer, prior to that point Hockenberry's analysis of the media's failure to...http://techdirt.com/articles/20080113/161655.shtml Dinner With the Banned CES Blogger's Editor- January 15, 2008 I don't need to pile on about Richard Blakeley, the Gizmodo blogger now banned from CES for his stunts on the show floor. It was obviously ridiculous behavior that I might've expected from some of my less-refined frat brothers after a drinking binge when we were all 19 -- not a professional blogger. What's weird is that on the last night of CES, I attended a dinner with a bunch of journalists, including Blakeley's editor, Brian Lam -- the guy who bragged about Blakeley's behavior on Gizmodo....http://feeds.portfolio.com/~r/portfolio/thetechobserver/~3/216590359/dinner-with-the-banne... 75% of Journalists Get Story Ideas from Blogs- January 14, 2008 A new survey by Brodeur and MarketWire, shows that 75% of journalists use blogs to get ideas for stories. Journalists may not comment but they are readingin fact, four in five say they read read blogs at least two to three times a week. Almost 30% of journalists in the survey say they have their own blog. Journalists consult blogs for story ideas, angles and insights: Over 75% of reporters see blogs as helpful in giving them story ideas, story angles and insight into the tone of an issue. ...http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2008/01/75-of-journalists-get-story-ideas-from-blogs.html Mini-Review: Amazon Kindle vs. Sony Reader- January 14, 2008 Several months ago I wrote a brief review of the Sony Reader (PRS-500). The upshot was that I was extremely happy with mine, with just a couple of small caveats. Fast forward to today and I now have something else to compare it with, the Amazon Kindle. There are plenty of comprehensive reviews of the Kindle floating around so I don't think we need another one. Instead, I'll focus on comparing it with the Sony Reader.Screen The Kindle seems to share the same screen as the Sony Reader. .http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/776-mini-review-amazon-kindle-vs-sony-reader Get Mad But Don't Get Even - Turn an Insult Into a Favor- January 14, 2008 By Pete Johnson, HP.com Chief Architect You don't have to be in the work force too long before someone ultimately insults you in some way. Maybe it isn't even intentional, but that doesn't take the sting out of it. The most basic, knee jerk human reaction when we experience something like this is to get angry and hurl something similar right back at the offending party. While natural, that perfectly understandable course of action tends to inflame the situation instead of improve it. Is...http://webworkerdaily.com/2008/01/14/get-mad-but-dont-get-even-turn-an-insult-into-a-favor... Lifestreaming: a ReadWriteWeb Primer- January 14, 2008 Lifestreaming, according to Wordspy, is "an online record of a person's daily activities, either via direct video feed or via aggregating the person's online content such as blog posts, social network updates, and online photos." In this post we review some of the top lifestreaming web apps: Onaswarm, Lifestrea.ms, Soup, Jaiku (the service Google bought), and perhaps the most popular of them all, Tumblr. There's even a niche blog devoted to lifestreaming, called The Lifestream Blog. It...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/readwriteweb/~3/216323069/lifestreaming_primer.php Three in Ten US Mobile Users Recall Seeing Mobile Ads- January 14, 2008 Three in Ten US Mobile Users Recall Seeing Mobile Ads More than three in ten mobile users - some 78 million US consumers - saw or heard advertising on...http://adtech.simplefeed.net/rsrc/link/_/three_in_ten_us_mobile_users_recall_seeing_mobil_... Twitter: How Do You Find People To Follow- January 14, 2008 Many people struggle with the idea of Twitter. The idea of posting 140-character updates for the world to see seems shallow and the idea of following other peoples' updates seems creepy. Why would you want to follow people you hardly know, anyway This is especially true when people explain it badly. As my Twitter-bud Jennifer Leggio commented yesterday, "It would take me three hours and white board to explain Twitter to my mom." I&39;ve stopped using the term &39;micro-blogging&39;...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dfPR/~3/216167082/twitter-how-do-you-find-people-to.html We're All Relevant in Our Own Minds- January 10, 2008 The full title should probably be, "In our own minds, we all think what we blog is relevant to other people." That's one of the major appeals of blogging, it's self publishing. We get to say what we want and then other people read and respond (hopefully). There is a scary truth though and that is the 'importance' of what we say may not be that important. As an experiment, a few months ago I unsubscribed from a number of 'influential' blogs....some might call them the dreaded A-list...http://feeds.hyku.com/~r/Hyku/~3/214491772/001775.html How to Sneak Social Media into the Enterprise- January 10, 2008 Paisano (yes, that's his name according to his about page) has a great post this morning where he reminds us that the social web isn't just about using web apps and getting on Facebook. In fact, you can be sitting in your cubicle, behind an enterprise firewall and still use the web to work better. Don't believe us work-from-homeself-employed types Then read Paisano's post for real-world examples of how he not only did a better job using the tools and philosophies of the connected web, he had a..http://webworkerdaily.com/2008/01/10/how-to-sneak-social-media-into-the-enterprise/ |
