The Impact Of Podcasting On Paid-for Content

A podcast and related blog post from Dave Winer [via Doc Searls] makes some important points about the true impact of DRM on the media industry, and led me to start thinking about the strategic forces at play in the current "Internet will eat the Media" debate. In this post I summarise his key points, and then build on them to produce a value net analysis of the media industry from the perspective of the current incumbents. In later posts I will look at the analysis from the perspective of the people who create the content and devlop some thinking on the strategies open to both parties.

The Country In Your Heart

I’m an occasional reader of Whiskey Bar (I don’t often have the time his posts deserve) but this seemed especially thought-provoking for the way it captures the feeling that the country in your heart is no longer the one you live in: [...] It’s a strange place to end up: a man without a country, grudgingly [...]

Yet another post about Google Earth

Lots of people have raved about Google Earth (Gary for one), but for me one of the coolest features has to be the ability to overlay your own graphics which then become locked in place and move with the earth model...
