John, the workflow that you have, i.e. create content in the print CMS, then send to the web, is not what I'm talking about here. That workflow has been around for years. I'm talking about true digital-first workflows, where content is posted to the web first, then flowed back into the print CMS, without copying/pasting or other time-wasting inefficiencies. And I'm talking about connecting many newsrooms with disparate systems and workflows into an efficient and scalable internal content network (where your legacy vendor has had some notable failures -- Google their new product name and you'll find some examples). And I'm talking about seamlessly integrating content from outside the newsroom from a range of new sources to create new digital products.

Re: How to Fix RSS Redux

Depends on what your goal for RSS is. It can serve a huge roll as an
open standard for B2B syndication. But it needs support for business
models, which it has lacked to its detriment. As a direct to consumer
standard, it does not have much of a future.

Hi Dave,

I'm sorry you took offense -- none was intended, to you personally or to anyone else. I did fall prey to 140 characters leaving little room for clarity.

I was thinking purely in terms of Apple's *business* results, and all the critiques I've read of the iPad that are stated in terms of bad business decisions, e.g. the iPad won't sell because it doesn't have or do X, Y or Z. I certainly didn't mean to make assertions about Steve Jobs' personal wealth vs. that of his critics, or suggest that all business success is justified by any means, e.g. poor environmental stewardship. Nor did I mean that Steve Jobs is infallible or above reproach.

I have read your thoughts on the iPad and Apple with great interest and will continue to do so.

You make an interesting point here about the Disney market vs. the punk rock market. Apple is clearly targeting the Disney market, perhaps because they believe it is a large underserved market, and they are taking a lot of heat for doing so. I was trying (ineffectively) to point out that Apple's business results seem to support that decision, thus far.

Cheers,
Scott

Re: What Google Understands About the Future of News and Publishing That Publishers Do Not

@Brandon, the talk may very well be happening. But even in that case,
there's still the contrast to Google, which already has an experiment
launched.

Re: Rank Your Links! A Publish2 Community Proposition

Hi Joey,

Thanks for the suggestion.

While Publish2 does not have a rating feature as you describe, we do have a ranking feature on our Newswire. For example, here are the top Media & Journalism stories for the past week: http://www.publish2.com/top...

So there is already a way for "the best links to the top of the pile" -- the more people link to them, the higher they rank.

The rating feature is on our roadmap. Please keep the ideas coming.

Cheers,

Scott Karp
