Unde se duc linkurile noastre cand se duc?

It’s not clear from the research why the missing information disappeared, but it’s likely that in many cases blogs have simply shut down or moved, or news stories have been archived by providers who charge for access (something that many newspapers and other media outlets do to generate revenue). But as the Technology Review post points out, this kind of information can be extremely valuable in tracking how historical events developed, such as the Arab Spring revolutions — which the researchers note was the original impetus for their study, since they were trying to collect as much data as possible for the one-year anniversary of the uprisings.

Apropo de video

miercuri, septembrie 19th, 2012

Adrian Sarbu il ia pe Mosu/Costi Mocanu de la conducerea televiziunilor Pro (job pe care l-a preluat dupa plecarea primului in pozitia de CEO a intregului CME) si-l pune sef peste Voyo, cu rang de Senior Vice President CME. Voyo = cum spune Robi

Primul produs pan-regional din istoria CME, cu o echipa “centrala” dedicata produsului. Prima incercare consistenta a unei companii media din regiune de a impinge continutul platit.

un produs care se apropie de suta de mii de abonati, adica de platitori lunar. La un calcul simplu inseamna un produs de cateva milioane euro/usd pe an. Cateva milioane pe an la Voyo vs cateva zeci de milioane (peste suta) pe tot ce inseamna televiunile Protv. Daca te uiti in dunga pare o miscare aiurea, daca ai fi urmarit „conf call-urile” CME din ultimele trimestre, pare o miscare normala, o miscare ce arata importanta acestui serviciu pentru CME, in conditiile in care Netflix a intrat in Scandinavia zilele trecute.
Daca nu ma credeti urmariti urmatoarea conferinta si numarati de cate ori se va pronunta Voyo, atat in randul managementului cat si in randul analistilor.

Altfel, bafta Mosului, are nevoie + succes Ancai!

„Things are about to get a little less awesome”

vineri, septembrie 14th, 2012

Look at your smart phone or your tablet. Some of the best apps out there are free programs that bring down walls, connecting you to businesses and information that generally makes you life easier or more enjoyable, whether it’s finding transportation, ordering dinner, or naming a song. Many of these companies either have no business model, or have a business model so thin as to be practically imperceptible to its users. In some corners, this is a mockable fact, but rather than mock it, you should stop and appreciate how amazing this is: Some of the smartest and most creative entrepreneurs and developers of our generation are dedicated to making awesome stuff for you, and, bankrolled by deep-pocketed venture capitalists, their determining business metric was not „How will you make money from credit cards and marketing departments?” but rather: How many millions of people are you delighting with your exceptionally cheap product? It is hard to imagine an industry built on a more satisfying premise for customers.

If we’re graduating from the „making delightful and cheap things” stage of the social media age to the „making money” stage, make no mistake: Things will get less delightful. In order to be profitable, it is highly likely that Twitter can only get more annoying, Pandora can only get more interrupt-y, Tumblr can only get more cluttered, Facebook can only get more devious, and the app baubles on your iPhone can only get more expensive.

The first few years of the social media revolution have been a golden age of tech utilitarianism, where maximizing users’ delight was considered, quite literally, the only currency that mattered. In Part II of the revolution, the desired currency is poised to change from attention to profit. That’s a shame. It doesn’t mean that the programs you love are anywhere close to coming to an end. It just means that things are about to get a little less awesome.

„Amazon Play”

miercuri, septembrie 12th, 2012

It’s a heads we win, tails you lose strategy. That’s the brilliance. If you buy an iPad but use Amazon’s iOS apps to read Kindle books and watch movies through your Amazon Prime account, Apple wins but so too does Amazon. If you buy a Kindle Fire instead of an iPad, Apple gets nothing. Amazon wins so long as you consume media content from Amazon, no matter if you play it on a Kindle Fire or an iPad. Apple only wins if you buy an iPad.

Om Malik argues that Bezos is the inheritor to Steve Jobs’s crown. I agree. Not because Bezos has copied anything Jobs did, but because he has not. What he’s done that is Jobs-like is doggedly pursue, year after year, iteration after iteration, a vision unlike that of any other company — all in the name of making customers happy.

Foarte bun articolul, de citit si interviul cu Bezos din ATD

Schimbari mari la Goldbach

luni, septembrie 10th, 2012

Una dintre cele mai importante regii de publicitate online (nu ca ar mai fi ramas foarte multe), Goldbach (ex ArboInteractive), trece printr-un proces de schimbare a echipei de management dupa ce, in ultimele 3 luni, a pierdut doi din oamenii de top management, Clement Nicolaescu, fost director executiv, (plecat in vara pentru a se dedica proiectelor personale) si Cosmin Otel, ~~director executiv~~, director de vanzari, plecat zilele trecute. Din „vechea garda” a mai ramas Calin Rotarus, unul dintre „veteranii” regiei/pietei, cel care alaturi de Alex Visa a infiintat departamentul de online in vechea regie Arbomedia.

Goldbach vinde publicitatea pe siteuri importante din .ro precum cele de la iMedia (Eva.ro, Cinemagia, Automarket), Hotnews sau Softpedia.

Reprezentantul elvetienilor de la Goldbach in Romania ~~este~~ a fost pana anul trecut Thomas Landolt, fost General Manager la Ringier Romania, in acest moment fiind Kirsten Drössel.
