it felt like a kiss and other tales of desire...

a wonderful thing.

books will get a value 'bump' due to linkage provided by ereaders

metabroadcast explain the DNS of media work - uriplay. permanent link for a piece of media as it moves across rights, platforms etc. neat.

george's ideology shines though...

For Titus, the mobile becomes the converged overlord over all media, a personal scheduler, player, communicator and whatever else it needs to be. But it also enables the content paradigm to shift from ownership to sampling or licensing, with the mobile as the cache that manages access to an infinite wealth of content stored and delivered from elsewhere.

they can, no they can't, no they can...

ooo, this could be interesting, an iphone / smartphone app for recording and converting audio and then sticking on tinternet replete w tags and geodata

interesting thoughts on local tv and particularly classifieds. I dissed ultra local tv at the BBC for years believing that news on that scale was not viable mainly due to cost of editing and admin (rather than the video which as we know is for nothing). however, classifieds may make it economically viable - if only a way to search and scan video were do-able. Looking fwd to their 4IP win - Talk Local

though www can innovate radically at an org and practise level. ISO is hardly disruption. real shame.

via roo - nice stuff on twitter...

"My best guess is that it is a year to a year and a half away if everything is approved."

How well do the BBC meet the needs of young people?

launched by "the voice of the MSN GENERATION" - duh duh duuuuuuh

honestly, this is just absolute pap. i despair of the 'new' content era.

An exercise in how not to categorise teens....

£50m. That should provide some incentive... now for the scramble.

Art mimics life. It doesn't add much but it's fun.

this must be a logistical nightmare. but oh how the tv folk must love the idea of jeopardy inbuilt here...

flawed report which collates technology as some amorphous blob. passion and not savvyness / literacy may be a better way to think about use of different platforms.

Aleks Krotski blogs about another inpromptu talk she did at Futuresonic08 about games involving urban and social media. Some useful links here.

A general list of their publications on Teenagers and Digital Media is available here.

Social networks as a distribution channel and as a feedback loop for the Russian arm of the BBC world service. Interesting as I understood SUP [who bought LJ from sixapart] were a bunch of criminals with govt connections!!

nice to have a feedback loop to ofcom in comments [with the blog]...

I'd like to say I'd read all this but frankly it would take a week. something to digest over the weeks ahead as on first pass it's a rare view into 'cutting edge' business - web strategy made real.

I also like what Tom Forsyth says "Parents always think kids are wasting their youth, and always have done [so] down through the millennia,". Whatever kids are "doing too much of" is always bad. Those who spend too much time reading will also provoke pa

Leisa Reichelt on Ambient Intimacy - it allows us to transcend space and time without much fuss. The result of emergent social technologies such as Twitter and Flickr. The lower the administrative overheads, the more appealing the technology.

Teens are not as technlogically savvy as popular discourse might suggest. Their use of digital media is to satisfy core user needs, mainly centered around socialising, playing games and downloading music. Technology as a means to an end.

"top down semantic solutions". this space is becoming very 'enterprise' and corporate very quickly. which is probably a good thing for solutions that work, but what are the algorithms hard coding into our information economy?

Young Americans spend more than 72 hours a week using the Internet, cell phones, television, music and video games, a study says.
