story reports that barcode scanning applications on devices like the
iPhone and the G1 are causing a stir among offline retailers.
I’ve seen such an app on the G1, but don’t remember what it’s

Like most of us, I’m not a big fan of interruption marketing, particularly those annoying and obnoxious inserts and sticker ads that come in the daily newspaper. But here’s such an ad that actually works. It was about 4″ x 4″ and came affixed to the front page of our local newspaper with temporary adhesive.
Why does this ad work?
It gets your attention. You ca...... [Show More]
Mi è capitato di leggere, in molti blogs ed altri spazi on-line, che Twitter serve a ben poco.

Nel caso ancora non usiate Twitter, registratevi e seguitemi nel mio profilo .

In her latest column , Media Post media market guru Diane Mermigas wonders how long it will be before we see a traditional over-the-air (OTA) broadcast TV network (like ABC, NBC, CBS, or Fox) dump their old broadcast business altogether and just move all their properties to cable and satellite TV. And, in response to Mermigas, Cory Bergman of Lost Remote argues, as I did last w...... [Show More]

After our CEO Chuck decided to live blog the API Summit - it stirred up some interesting convo. Some was positive, some not so much, but I think the end result will be very good. He posted a very nice summary on his blog.
From the “non-CEO crowd”, there was my buddy Jason . He’s also had some very good comments on his blog:

Some news today on the tragic suicide of a young man captured on Justin.tv — Justin.tv being a tad different than, say, YouTube, as its one of those video services which streams content live. That is to say, he committed suicide on “live” internet-streaming video.
The loss of a young life is always regrettable. I think the real bit of news is merely that it may have been ...... [Show More]

Why story comments are destructive - Lost Remote TV Blog
"The bottom line, for me at least - is that they add nothing. Instead, they can be a great distraction and do very little to build traffic, build revenue or inform people." Do you agree?

This has received considerable attention in the MSM and among geeks like me. I’d just like to say that it registers with much pride that the Obama administration is so progressive as to embrace such web 2.0 tools (that I’ve tried to convince and train friends and family to similarly use for years) as Flickr , UStream , and now YouTube with the Change.gov channel .

In another show of how tech-savvy and connected the next administration might be, President-elect Barack Obama’s personal photographer uploaded many intimate images of Obama and some of his campaign staff on election night to Flickr rather than to a mainstream media outlet.
According to Lost Remote , the popularity of the images subsequently caused the crash of Flickr. This next Presid...... [Show More]

So it looks like this will be an annual thing. Every year around this time I will repeat my counter-intuitive statement that newspapers are making a tremendous mistake when they talk about dropping print and going online-only. Here’s last year’s rant.
