Jeff Jarvis submits: The next phase of media, I’ve been thinking, will be after the page and after the site. Media can’t expect us to go to it all the time. Media has to come to us. Media must insinuate itself into our streams . I’ve been trying to imagine what that would be, and then I was Skype-chatting with Nick Denton (an inspirational pastime I’ve had too little of lately)...

Jeff Jarvis submits: In the discussion about news, there’s always a divide – because news loves divides. The splits have been old vs. new, mainstream media vs. blogs, professional vs. amateur, institutional v. entrepreneurial and, lately, paid vs. free. But I fear another divide we’re beginning to see develop: walled vs. open. The legacy players – in what I believe is their...

Sixth Sense. You know I don’t watch many minutes of online video, but I watched this TED presentation from India’s Pranav Mistry twice. Gestures and enhanced intelligence to interact with objects in the real world. 13.51 minutes, or drag the video to the half-way point to get a quick understanding of the potential of Mistry’s work. What strikes me is freedom from The Monitor. Then...

This is frickin' brilliant. (Hat tip to Jeff Jarvis, and a deep bow to the author, AOL DailyFinance's Sam Gustin.) Then he got an idea! An awful idea! The Grinch got a wonderful, awful idea! "I know just what to...

At a bar last night, I was talking to someone smart who made an excellent point: that a very quiet, revolutionary act in the history of publishing had just taken place. (This person compared this moment to Gutenberg, which might be a little bit far afield but not that far off!) That is that Joshua Micah Marshall is hiring a publisher for Talking Points Memo, the blog he started all on his own in 2000,...

Jeff Jarvis has a pithy rant against corporate fussiness over how their names get spelt. Apparently, "AOL" has just become "Aol." with some hoohah about the importance of the period, or full stop as they may or may not allow us Brits to call it. This kind of thing has always made me laugh. Years ago, when dinosaurs walked the land, I worked for an ad agency called Valin Pollen....

Jeff Jarvis submits: I’ve had a fair number of press calls on the Murdoch/Bing sillliness and here are the points I’ve been making: Were Microsoft ( MSFT ) to pay News Corp. ( NWS ) to drop Google ( GOOG ), it would be a double-play in Google’s favor: Microsoft would lose money and gain little. News Corp. would lose traffic, shifting away from the search engine with more than 60%...

Murdoch's Google gambit shakes up the blogosphere . The Financial Times reports that Rupert Murdoch is in talks with Microsoft to remove his news empire, which includes the Wall Street Journal and Fox News, from Google's search listings. The move, which has been mulled by some commentators for years, and had recently been floated by Mahalo founder Jason Calacanis, could reshape both the search and...

From Jeff Jarvis “The half-life of news“, “At a Yale conference a week ago, Thomson Reuters CEO Tom Glocer talked about the life cycle of the value of news in his business. When a piece of financial news come out, it is at its most valuable for a very short time, he said. I asked him later how [...]

Murdoch courts trouble if he blocks Google on news Jeff Jarvis, media blogger and author: “It’s nothing short of suicidal.” Murdoch’s proposal is a gamble, and one that could hurt News Corp instead of helping it. [SNIP] News Corp’s proposal is a way to get a cut of the action. Risks include destroying ad revenue most news websites depend on if [...]

Two pieces broke over the weekend that make me wonder if the modern practice of public relations may finally be getting its just due. Or maybe the PR biz hasn't changed as much as we'd all like to think. Both stories touch on the old and the new, the yin and the yang, the steadfast and the social sides of our dichotomous profession. The first piece gave props to Hollywood PR peeps for putting butts...
