Wow! Look at this! Why am I so excited? Because this ad popped up on Pandora , the best music site on the web (and no, I don’t want to argue about that with you. I don’t care what you say.)

New "Internet Meter" will Officially Measure Web TV Au
Yesterday, Nielsen announced that they will make their new "Internet Meter" available by year's end to measure the online television viewing audience. Until now, this ever-increasing demographic has been left out of U.S. television ratings as Nielsen currently focuses only on live and time-shifted (i.e. DVR) TV viewings. Says the company, the Internet Meter software will be deployed by the end of 2009 to their "People Meter" households - the chosen few whose TV-viewing habits function as the representative sample for measuring a show's success. This new addition to the ratings game is bound to have a major impact on TV monetization efforts as both networks and advertisers will see, officially , how many viewers have tuned in to watch this "2nd screen." The internet leaves no business model untouched and unchanged, especially when it comes to media consumption.
Zoveel Amerikaanse kranten hebben hun correspondenten wegbezuinigd dat het inmiddels beroerd is gesteld met de buitenlandverslaggeving in de Verenigde Staten. Volgens een onderzoek van het Project for Excellence in Journalism hadden zestien Amerikaanse kranten in 2004 slechts half zoveel buitenlandnieuws op de voorpagina als in 1987. “Dat is niet alleen gevaarlijk voor ons land, maar ook voor onze democratie”, vindt Charles Sennott (46), voormalig buitenland correspondent van The Boston Globe. “We zijn minder goed geïnformeerd over de dagelijkse kwesties en die zijn over de hele wereld met elkaar verbonden. Nog nooit is het zo belangrijk geweest dat we de wereld beter begrijpen.”

It was as if Vint Cerf, the so-called grandfather of the Internet, was talking to a group of dinosaurs. Cerf , who helped build the Internet while working as a researcher at Stanford University in the 1970s, spoke to television executives at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival this past weekend and told them how the Internet’s influence was radically altering their businesses and how it was imperative for them to view this golden opportunity to be exploited instead of a threat to their survival ( The Guardian report ). Television executives, like most in traditional media, are often staunch defenders of the status quo, even in the face of tumultuous change. Dinosaurs once ruled the Earth, technologists like to say, then, poof, they were gone.
