Facebook and Twitter get the headlines, but one of the biggest developments in socialized content and expression enabled by the internet has been the rise of the Mom Blogging communities. At the center of this ecosystem are a number of high ranking aggregators that act as hubs to the spokes of all the Mom Blogs. [...]

Looking back – looking ahead

by admin on July 2, 2010

Looking back
I seldom look back on a week, preferring to always look ahead to the next week. Even rarer are the occasions when I would allow the occurrences to coalesce into a posting, but in the technology world, a lot has happened – one event was substantial in scale, others… smaller but portending the development [...]

iPad And The Art Of Massage

by admin on March 31, 2010

As the days and hours count down to the launch date of Apple’s iPad, there is no end to the forecasts on pre-launch, Q2, and 2010 sales etc. of the device. Speculation aside, there is a palpable excitement and anticipation which finds its precedent only in the June 2007 launch of the iPhone. I’m not [...]

Why Comcast/NBCU will put one in the media merger success column

by admin on December 4, 2009

Lots of blogging about the lackluster track record of media mergers in the wake of the official announcement of the Comcast/NBC Universal deal. My POV differs from that of Michael Wolff’s assessment on Newser, although I’ve ordered The Curse Of The Mogul cited in his blog. This is a merger that will work, and will redefine [...]

Mining the archives – Audio

by admin on October 7, 2009

Changing A Consumer’s Behavior

by admin on October 6, 2009

Or, could Fox Business materially disrupt [...]

Canada’s demise of local TV – will it happen here?

by admin on October 5, 2009

Last Friday, CKX-TV in Brandon, Manitoba (population 51,000) signed off after the 6PM newscast. Dark, for good. CTVGlobemedia, who owned the station, stated that a deal to sell it to Bluepoint Investments for $1 Cdn. had collapsed when Bluepoint walked away from the deal. CKX-TV had been on the air since 1955, and was the [...]

Mining the archives – Video

by admin on October 5, 2009

As the number 4 online destination with 85 million monthly visitors, YouTube is the go to source for answering the “What do you want to watch?” question. The other night I was searching around and was curious to see if any of the TV shows I’d produced had somehow, ended up on the site. Now, [...]
