The Clip Report: An eBook on the Future of Media In the early 1990s when I began my career in PR there were clip reports. These were physical books that contained press clips. It seems downright archaic now but that’s how I learned about the press - by cutting, pasting up and photocopying clippings. My fascination with the media never abated. Today my role is to form insights into how the entire overlapped media landscape - the pros, social channels, and corporate content - is rapidly evolving and to help Edelman clients turn these learnings into actionable strategies. As part of this effort, I spend a lot of time with not only the social platforms but journalists and media execs. Today I am re-launching my Tumblr site with a new name, a new focus and a new format. It all kicks off today with a 15-page installment of The Clip Report.
Bloggle: An unofficial Google news blog. Still chugging.. Hello Matt, Reading your blog it seems that this penalty thing is a real hassle for everybody: Google, because i guess you guys have to spend a lot of resources in catching what you consider the bad players; the webmasters, because we all of a sudden we stop benefiting from Google traffic. But the end users suffer as well, in my opinion, because when the reasons for the penalty are not clear and the webmaster has no clue on what s/he did wrong, if any, good chances are that a good site stay penalized forever and that a good resource about a certain topic don’t show up at all in the search results.
Althought i understand that dealing with what probably is an incredibly huge number of penalty explanation requests would be almost impossible by Google, i also believe that a little bit more of clarity should and could be made by Google about these phantomatic penalizations. Well, of course i haven’t heard anything back and my site is still ranking on Google only for my name. Sabrina. Subscribe to my feed.

Flick through any of the country's top student papers and you'll find the advertising of a few big consumer brand names.

Intro So a friend of mine told me about this mini-conference, and when I looked at the wiki I saw a bunch of names I didn’t recognise, which seemed like a good reason to go along and see what was going on.
These are my notes, raw and unedited. Greg Tallent The way we access content is different. Vin Crosbie, NY journo, said he pays more for his digital media than print, because the online versions are worth more and are more useful - archives, email-able etc. News and most other media content will be delivered either exclusively on the internet or as well as on the internet. Moving from an information world to an attention world: too much info; too little time; not enough attention.

Publishing 2.0 - Scott Karp on the Convergence of Media and Technology. How will native advertising scale? That’s the question on the mind of every brand advertiser, ad agency, and publisher. Native advertising has emerged as a great hope for the future of advertising, to capture the billions of brand ad dollars expected to shift from TV, where mass audiences are finally collapsing, and from online display advertising, where already rock bottom prices, consumer attention, and effectiveness continue to plummet.
Native advertising is also a great hope for monetizing mobile, where display ads aren’t just dying but DOA and digital dimes have turned into pennies at best. The hope for native advertising is based on its potential to create immense value for everyone involved: Value for Consumers At its best, native advertising gives consumers content that is genuinely interesting, engaging, and useful. Native advertising truly is NATIVE when consumers can value the content the same way they value editorial content. Value for Brands Value for Publishers 1. 2. Www.techcrunch.co.uk. Unmediated. Web 2.0 Ireland. Yahoo & Facebook: Deal or No Deal? Now that Yahoo has announced its reorg, many are wondering and speculating as to what the ailing Internet giant might do in terms of M&A.
Put another way, will Yahoo rely on acquisitions to fix its problems and plug up its holes? Or will it depend on its internal resources, now that they have streamlined for improved execution, to strengthen its strategic weaknesses. Given the company’s weak stock price, itís much more likely that they will opt for the latter path if at all possible. Take Facebook as an example. Rumors of on-again, off-again acquisition talks notwithstanding, Yahoo must take steps to gain a leadership position in social networking.
As the Internet’s largest community and communications company, the fact that Yahoo is *not* a leader in social networking represents one of the biggest missed opportunities in our industry’s history. But what to do? Yahoo should immediately clone Facebook. For a company like Yahoo, social networking is not a market that they should buy into. Events. Folksonomy.org. Breaking Trends. Lotame Matches Ads to Social Networkers. The web isn’t based around topics anymore. On an increasing number of web pages, it’s hard to align content along a tidy vertical and sell ads against it. Social networks, especially, are full of users chatting, musing, and relating to one another – and rarely does that conversation confine itself to a sellable topic like travel or plasma displays.
Some people say the answer is a change in philosophy – instead of selling banner ads, why not teach a marketer how to trick out a MySpace profile? Another approach is finding new ways to match traditional ads with user-generated content. One startup, Columbia, Maryland-based Lotame, thinks it can target ads better by analyzing behavior on social networks. The idea is to provide software that bolts onto ad servers and feeds in information about people’s cookies, member profiles, interactions with other users, and responses to ads.
Lotame, founded in March, has raised an angel round of between $1 and $2 million. Satish Jayakumar's Blog - Online Media, Start ups, Rants & General Bollox. Liz Gannes.

Clicking on a veotag lets the viewer jump right to that part of the file. I stumbled (not stumbleupon) on this one whilst viewing a VC video roundtable. The video is 53 minutes long.
