New media won !

Wow – new media beat old media – RATM is #1 !
What an interesting battle !
It seems to me that old media went down like a sack of s**t. New media hardly had to fight.

New Media old Media

The two schools of media have finally decided to have a sandup fight.
The Talent Show / broadcast industry have come out fighting against the social media – friend of a friend – internet industry.

X factor vs Rage against the Machine

While the new upstart has plenty of enthusiasm and is making alot of moves arround the ring … it just dosnt have the experience of the old and slightly punch drunk broadcast industry.

The only guaranteed winner is Sony … who get a profit for sales of both records …. Doh. Nothing changes …

Do you love google?

A good freind of mine asked if I loved google ….
This is my answer.

I love google, in the same way that I would love my wife if I were to be married to a super model.
I.e. every thing is great but … at the back of my mind I am always worried that she is having an affair.

Looks like CISCO are going for the whole set

My friend just sent me this link
http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/02/cisco-shells-out-44-5-million-for-set-top-box-unit-of-chinese-cable-company-dvn/

and they bought Tandberg last month
So what would CISCO want with an STB manufacturer and a playout hardware manufacturer.

I would place bets on them now buying a content aggregation company or distribution channel.
It looks like they are trying to complete the jigsaw

Google want to put all the worlds books into a virtual world

Yesterday I read in the FT that google were planning to put all the books in the world onto their web site.

The surprising thing is that this is not big news !
The main body of the story was on page 10 !!!!

I am amazed that such staggering feats of achievement are not bigger news. I am even more amazed that the only group of people who are noticeably objecting to this are the French culture ministry.

Why is it that a commercial organization are the first ones to achieve such a noble endeavor? In the past this would have been a public work.

Ive just watched the wave video

Its very similar to the early Microsoft presentations that I went to in the ninties.
