Comcast: Skype is coming to the TV. Comcast subscribers will soon be able to access video calling service Skype from their televisions, according to the company, which plans to make the full announcement Tuesday at a cable industry trade show in Chicago.
The Skype service will be delivered through HDTVs through a Comcast adapter box (meaning anyone without an HD set is out of luck) and will require a high-quality video camera as well as custom remote control that enables texting capabilities, according to Comcast. Subscribers will be able to use full screen video calling and instant messaging from Skype. However, voice calls to and from outside phone numbers won’t be included in the integration, since those options would compete against Comcast’s telephone services.

The Kaiser Chiefs band release their latest album in a brilliant stroke of social media - Social Media. It’s well known that technology and the emergence of social media has radically changed the music industry with people no longer buying albums and revenues for record labels and bands eroding. The Kaiser Chiefs have come up with a brilliant new concept to release their latest album, which allows users to upload their own cover and even make money for themselves by becoming sales people for the band and earning £1 per album they sell via social media channels.

A Federal Communications Commission (FCC) report released Thursday encourages policymakers to see the benefits in behavioral advertising as a debate rages in Washington on how to regulate online tracking to protect the personal data of consumers.
The report on the media landscape found huge challenges to the future of the local news business and described behavioral advertising — which tracks the Web habits of consumers in order to better target ads to their personal preferences — as an important way to make hometown journalism more profitable. "Ad targeting, since it commands higher prices, offers one possible way for local content creators to build sustainable business models that can help finance local journalism," the FCC report says.
The privacy debate has prompted reports and recommendations from the Obama administration and legislation on Capitol Hill aimed at restricting the leeway of advertisers to grab consumer data as users browse the Web. The entire report can be viewed here. Online advertising explodes to $31B, but publishers getting squeezed? Advertisers are likely to spend $31.3 billion buying online ads this year, 20 percent more than last year. That’s according to the encouraging forecast from market researcher eMarketer — and it’s almost twice the 10.5 percent growth in 2011 that eMarketer predicted in December.
This is great news, right? 5 reasons broadcasters pay licensing fees for stories and why it corrupts journalism. When Ann Coulter congratulated ABC News for its reporting on the Anthony Weiner story, her high praise was this: “You guys own the Weiner story.” She may not have meant it literally, but she could have. ABC owned the story of Meagan Broussard’s sextual exchanges with the New York congressman because the network bought it, in the form of a “licensing fee.” Journalism organizations that once refused to pay sources now write them large checks for access to information. They label these payments “licensing fees,” and in return they receive photos, video, emails, or cell phone records.
In the process, they lose credibility and simultaneously strengthen the market for checkbook journalism. Huffington Post outstrips NYT web traffic in May. Update: this story has been modified to include the fact that AOL News traffic now redirects to the Huffington Post site following AOL’s purchase of the Huffington Post in February. Call it a sign of the changing times: The Huffington Post had more unique visitors to its website than the venerable New York Times in May, outstripping the Grey Lady’s web traffic for the first time, according to data from market research firm comScore Inc. The newspaper, owned by New York Times Co., has been experimenting with a new online revenue model for two months now — a paywall that charges readers for access to more than a certain number of articles.
In April, the first full month of the paywall, nytimes.com had 32.9 million unique visitors, still ahead of huffingtonpost.com’s 29.9 million. But HuffPo took the lead in May with 35.6 million unique visitors compared to 33.6 for the NYT. 80 ans connectés ! Mob rule: Iceland crowdsources its next constitution.
