Aggregating and filtering the latest Web Tech and Media news, so you don’t have to! (p.s. thanks for the encouraging comments about this new daily feature – I’m trying out a new name…)
– Out with old media; in with… what? (CNNMoney.com ponders who will be media gatekeeper in the 21st century. I dunno, the word ‘gatekeeper’ seems very — well, 20th century. Maybe start by losing the old broadcasting terminology? Just a thought.)
– Old mogul, new media (I’m sensing a theme here… this Economist.com article is about News Corp and their “trendy new web communities”)
– 50 users v 1 editor (Lloyd Shepherd, Deputy Director of Digital Publishing at Guardian Unlimited, ponders whether Guardian is more democratic than Digg)
– TechCrunch reads the riot act to Ning (the DIY social web app hasn’t lived up to the hype – be interesting to see if it responds to Mike’s detailed list of issues…)
– Interview With Digg.com Founder, Kevin Rose (incl stats… “Digg’s registered membership is currently at 140,000 and is doubling every three months.”)
– Who Are the New Media Gatekeepers? (I’ve been emailing with Scott Karp and we disagree on more than we agree on, but it’s stimulating conversation — and he sure knows how to get attention ;-))
– Hey, Your Content Chocolate Is In My Portal Peanut Butter! (best post title I’ve seen in a while… John Battelle: “Next up: Yahoo sells books, and Google sells videos. Oh, wait, that’s already happening…”)
– Emo/pop punk rockers finding fans on MySpace (I still don’t understand what emo is – shows my age…)
– Top Sellers on Xbox Live Arcade (Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is number 1… apparently it only costs $5)
– Rich Media Realities (Fred Wilson lists some compromises, because his “nirvana scenario” isn’t happening anytime soon)
