Re: CBS Is Quietly Building An Internet Radio Powerhouse

Terrestrial radio - fighting a decade of declining revenues from the "Song, Song, WAL-MART COMMERICAL, Repeat" method of radio monetizing - now want to do essentially the same thing to online radio. Awesome.

In this new interview with radio research consultant Mark Ramsey - Seth Godin expresses that he thinks that method is old, tired and doomed.

As a guy who works in broadcasting - I believe far more in Seth's vision.

But, I also know the Radio Industry. Our leader's obsession with the :60 spot mirrors the Record Label's obsession with the CD.

on the flip side - I bought a new laptop monday, downloaded my gmail contents into a local mail app. i had to return the laptop because of the fan and forgot to wipe the data.

seems either way - data is always at risk to carelessness.

Hate is good. Love is good. Indifference sucks.

Embrace it.

CES is about going and SEEING and TOUCHING the coolest newest stuff before anyone else.

And the rest "panel of experts" type of conferences were never really about the conferences per se- but about the personal interaction, the hang, the after parties - the social scene. blogs don't displace that.

great one Robert. Loved it just as it was. Although - as a geeky I would've appreciated a little more gear tour of Leo's set up - but still - it rocked.
