LV - Médias sociaux. Andy Carvin, l’homme qui twette les révolutions – Guardian. Andy Carvin insists that the introduction on his Google Plus profile – "I tweet revolutions" – is a joke, but nevertheless that's what he's famous for. Armed with TweetDeck – the power Twitter user's app of choice – and a thoroughly curated group of reliable, enthusiastic and well-informed Twitter users, the social media strategist for US public service radio broadcaster NPR has become known for his mastery of aggregated and verified real-time news through Twitter.
And that's no mean feat on a platform still dismissed by many as a gimmick that trivialises information into uselessly short sound bites. News organisations have become increasingly fascinated by Carvin's experiments as the value of insight, and the expertise required in aggregating and filtering information on social networks, has become more apparent.
When Libya's uprising boiled over two weeks ago, Carvin surpassed even his own record by tweeting nearly 1,200 times in 48 hours. Age 40. Le numérique peut remplacer le papier et faire vivre une rédaction – JXPaton. Folks, Today marks another important step for Digital First. As announced earlier this morning, we have formed a new company – Digital First Media Inc. It will manage both the Journal Register Company and Media News Group and its mission will be to accelerate the transformation of both these great firms to a modern, multi-platform media company focused on local news. And, let me tell you, it will be a powerhouse out of the gate with more than 880 products in 18 states serving more than 57 million Americans per month. More than 41 million of those customers are digital-only creating one of the largest online news networks in the country.
I will head Digital First Media as Chief Executive Officer as well as be CEO of both JRC and Media News. Newspaper companies aren’t supposed to be able to change. Here’s another one: Digital dimes can’t replace Print dollars. Then this: No one wants what we have to offer. And then this one: Digital revenue will never be able to pay for a newspaper’s newsroom. Une nouvelle dynamique de l’info – Elias Bizannes. In the recent controversy that has erupted due to the firing of Michael Arrington from TechCrunch, I believe it represents an era in innovation led by TechCrunch that we’re only starting to appreciate. To start on this thought experiment, consider how four years ago (meaning, things haven’t changed) I wrote about the two kinds of content that exist: data like breaking news or archived news; and culture which includes analysis like editorials and entertainment such as satire.
I argue that each content form has unique characteristics that needs to be exploited in different ways. Think about that before digesting this blog post, because understanding the product (such as news) impacts the way the market will operate. Some trends of the past Over the last two decades, we’ve seen the form (and costs) of news be disrupted dramatically. On the other hand, tech entrepreneurs break their backs for the hope of getting written about on the Tech blogs. Let’s keep thinking. S’adapter au monde connecté – Harold Jache. Simon Bostock referred me to this speech that Ben Hammersly gave to the UK’s Information Assurance Advisory Council. The main theme is how the ruling generation (Baby Boomers) are failing to understand how the Internet has changed EVERYTHING.
You’re all the same age, and upbringing, as the people that the digital generations are so upset with. Don’t take it personally, but your peers are the sorts of baby-boomers that have been entrusted with the future, while they are obviously so deeply confused by the present. For example: [Moores Law] This is all obvious for us, yes, but Truth Number One, is that anything that is dismissed on the grounds of the technology-not-being-good-enough-yet is going to happen. Hammersly likens his role as “translator” between the ruling generation and the younger generations, and given his record, he seems to be doing this with a vengeance.
La génération mutante, par Michel Serres – Libé. Michel Serres, diplômé de l’Ecole navale et de Normale Sup, a visité le monde avant de l’expliquer à des générations d’étudiants. Historien des sciences et agrégé de philosophie, ancien compagnon de Michel Foucault, avec qui il a créé le Centre universitaire expérimental de Vincennes en 1968, il a suivi René Girard aux Etats-Unis, où il enseigne toujours, à plus de 80 ans. Ce prof baroudeur, académicien pas tout à fait comme les autres, scrute les transformations du monde et des hommes de son œil bleu et bienveillant. Son sujet de prédilection : la jeune génération, qui grandit dans un monde bouleversé, en proie à des changements comparables à ceux de la fin de l’Antiquité. La planète change, ils changent aussi, ont tout à réinventer. «Soyons indulgents avec eux, ce sont des mutants», implore Michel Serres, par ailleurs sévère sur sa génération et la suivante, qui laisseront les sociétés occidentales en friche.
