Aggregating and filtering the latest Web Tech and Media news, so you don’t have to! This is a 5 or 6 day a week feature and feel free to email me interesting links for inclusion: readwriteweb AT gmail.com.
– PodTech coverage of the Sundance Film Festival (as usual, John Furrier is providing outstanding audio coverage of Web and Media events — this post is called ‘Think Mobile – Movies on the Go’)
– Sundance + imeem photoblog (Photos, blog posts and some vids from this ‘behind the scenes’ Sundance blog)
– Starbucks goes Hollywood (“It is, to be sure, a death of a thousand cuts: a brand extension here, an ill advised partnership there.”)
– Dan Gillmor on Citizen Media (podcast by Berkman Center at Harvard, in which Dan discusses some interesting points raised about the future of big media, gatekeepers, and international citizen journalists. Thanks Tim Lynch for the link)
– The Blooker Prize 2006 (“The Lulu Blooker Prize is the world’s first literary prize devoted to “blooks”: books based on blogs or websites.” Entries close 30 Jan.)
– Apple Chief Set for Disney Role (“Steven P. Jobs could be considered the Walt Disney of his era”… Pixar being sold to Disney for $6.8 billion according to NYTimes sources)
– Who can challenge Apple’s iPod/iTunes? (“…competing directly with the iTunes Music Store is too much to ask of even Microsoft”)
– RSS came from the publishing industry (Dave Winer: the tipping point for RSS was the adoption of the format by the New York Times in 2002)
– nothing like a trashing to get the day started (Ning developer responds to yesterday’s TechCrunch review)
