If you want to stimulate your mind to think about the future of the practice of law, read (or listen, as I am) What Would Google Do? by Jeff Jarvis , who also writes the blog, Buzz Machine . And if you really want to expand your mind, read Small Is The New Big by Seth Godin right after. Jarvis' thesis is that Google succeeds because it shares everything and builds platforms for people to do stuff...

Let us start with Plato and finish with Dave Pell, with a little Jeff Jarvis mixed in to help bind it all together. Sometime around 370 BC Plato held forth against the invention of writing, a mere crutch that would cause memory to atrophy while offering only a pale reflection of discourse in its place. The fact is that this invention will produce forgetfulness in the souls of those who have

A couple weeks ago I attended the fall board meeting for Augsburg Fortress . Augsburg is a publisher affiliated with the ELCA , which is the largest Lutheran denomination in the United States. My connection to Augsburg is a result of a speech I gave to a group of leaders in the ELCA several years, and has been a remarkable experience for the last two years. It’s remarkable for several reasons:...

Jeff Jarvis makes an excellent point about Twitter (and all similar services): Twitter is temporary. Streams are fleeting. If the future of the web after the page and the site and SEO is streams and I believe at least part of it will be then we risk losing information, ideas, and the permanent points the permalinks around which we used to coalesce. In this regard, Twitter is to web pages what web...

Here's an interesting post by Jeff Jarvis (over at buzzmachine.com) about the negative consequences of today's effortless and speedy communication capability, created by web 2.0 socio-technological environment. This seems to be very relevant to our understanding of why news cycle is shrinking and what negative effects it has on the quality of journalism: People demand more speed, have less ability...

We were gathered at our bi-monthly Boys' Lunch at Michael's last month when one of "the boys," a very senior media-minded communications executive, looked at me incredulously when I said I actually read Bernoff's Groundswell , Jarvis's What Would Google Do , and Godin's Tribes , among others. He definitely thought I was either drunk on the Kool-Aid or in need of a new life. Just as the number...

Jeff Jarvis submits: The future of news is entrepreneurial. There’s a lot in that statement. It says: The future of news is not institutional. The news of tomorrow has yet to be built. The structure – the ecosystem – of news will not be dominated by a few corporations, but likely will be made up of networks of many startups performing specialized functions based on the opportunities...

Netscape was just a browser. It was not making any money. But it went public . It acquired a market value of billions overnight. That launched the dot com craze . That might have partly been responsible for many dot com booms and busts in the years ahead. The message that a business need not make money was, well, wrong. But the internet was very real, the web was very real, dot com was as real as it...

By Mercedes Bunz : It was about a year ago, that the media expert Jeff Jarvis proclaimed: “ “Links are the currency of the new media economy.” .” But as with every currency, there might be inflation. Nick Bilton illustrates in the upcoming Wired UK that news sites learned that lesson - but maybe they’ve carried it a bit to the extreme ...

Journalism is not in crisis – its fate lies in the hands of new and old media entrepreneurs, not institutions Last week, Coventry University ran a video conference whose title asked, "Is World Journalism in Crisis?" Jeremy Paxman appeared, as did I. "Crisis is a journalistic word," he said. "We love it." He thought journalism is in such a state. I thought not. A...

Tonight’s insidery discussion on The Future of the Embargo is already turning into another topic among the gossipy reporters who cover the local Internet economy: Why does TechCrunch editor Mike Arrington agree to do events, then fail to show at them? The Web 2.0 kingmaker was tonight’s big draw, better-known and more sought after than New York Times technology chief Damon Darlin. Most...

Tonight’s insidery discussion on The Future of the Embargo was supposed to be a high-powered debate among top local tech journalists, in response to TechCrunch editor Michael Arrington’s gleeful ban of embargos . (Embargos are the publication times that PR people pre-set for stories). Arrington has a controversial opinion that “the embargo is dead,” and has ceased to honor...

It is not available to everybody yet, but I guess I got in early enough in the rollout of this wonderful feature. I am excited. I follow more than 30,000 people now. I think I am going to greatly appreciate this feature. There are...

Filed under: EV/Plug-in , MINI MINI E - click above for high-res image gallery Over the last several years, many of the fans of battery-powered vehicles here on ABG have asked quite vociferously why it's taking companies like General Motors so long to bring cars like the Volt to market. Many of you seem to think you can convert an existing platform and have it on the market in six months. While it...
