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.

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. We are supposed to be out of ideas, out of money and out of energy. To our competitors, I say keep thinking that.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.
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.
