Has anyone done the maths on how much it would have to cost per user to sustain a quality news org with much reduced ad revenues (cos they won't have the scale of eyeballs anymore).
My gut feeling is there is a huge gap here.
And there is the continued assumption that those serving up content behind the paywall are more expert at delivering relevant stuff to people than those beyond the silo. That's an assumption that has been proved false every time it's been measured in my experience.

Oddly enough, I blogged about what is required of trad media to survive only today too - let me know your thoughts: http://fasterfuture.blogspo...

Re: The Times paywall is going to work … for now …

A couple of thoughts. Unless and until a publisher containing and constraining their content can curate it for me as well as my friends can - then they are likely to lose. I see no sign of that from the Times.
2nd. I'm not even sure Murdoch wants success from this. It could be that he wishes to make the political point that while the BBC (perhaps similar public service organisations globally) make content available free he cannot make money with content online. ie it may be more about forcing the hand of governments to intervene in the market for news/content. After all in a networked, p2p distributed world, all it takes is one source of 'quality news' for everyone to share it out.
I agree that wrapping value around is key - ie make the user experience and curation excellent - save me the time and trouble of discovering what's relevant for me. But, like I say, there's no algorithm yet employed that can do that as well as adhoc self forming communities of purpose.

The Einstein quote resonates. You know, the one about repeating the same experiment and expecting different results... being the definition of insanity.

If I was going to research anything these days I'd avail myself of the listening technologies and analysis that's relatively easy to acquire (disclosure, my lot 90:10 Group offer this kind of service).

Hi Stowe - just wish I knew whether they could predict up or down movement. I think there's a great deal more can be learned by being more specific... ;-)

Twitter, like so many, is at serious risk of failing to provide a revenue model built on network principles rather than broadcast ones.
Simple rule: Relationships are more important than information.

Re: Social Media Marketing 101: In-House Team, Agency or Consultant?

davidcushman — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 04:10:49 -0000

To develop a social media strategy you have to first audit the landscape in which you seek to deploy.
It's the simple, basic but often missed first step: that's auditing where the relevant conversations are happening and performing network analysis to identify the influencers specific to that niche.

But that's only part of the story. The key thing to understand is that social media strategy should be less about communication and more about co-creation: discovering people who care about the purpose you share, bringing them together, surfacing improvements and new products, and acting together to create outcomes you all care about.

Re: How Not to Master Social Media!

davidcushman — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 12:45:10 -0000

I've read through (almost) all the comments here. I do occasionally run social media training for orgs myself (usually less tactics focused) - and from that perspective I have to say you were somewhat over-promised. To get through all that in a day in any kind of hands-on depth was never going to happen.
But what really surprises me is that Thomas Power has failed to engage in this thread.
If anyone's case is good, engaging in public should be free from fear.

If you get nowhere with your refund I'll be happy to help fill knowledge gaps FOC if you happen to be passing our offices In Holborn. I presented for EConsultancy on Location Based Services (Gowalla etc) in London, Leeds and Manchester at the end of last year, for example.
