Oh, no, the “original sin” meme of newspapers not charging for content is rising again. Sigh. Dick Tofel, general manager of Pro Publica and former assistant publisher and assistant managing editor of The Wall Street Journal, is a very smart and reasonable man and he has written a smart and reasonable Kindle Single (enabling him to charge as a matter of metaphor) about “why newspapers gave away the future.” But his case is not exactly what it appears, for this is more of a history than a rever...  show all text

On Saturday, February 4, something strange happened to Qihoo 360, a security software company. Their apps, at least the ones in the Apple App Store, were missing. After reaching out to Apple, the company learned that Apple had removed their apps based on "unusual user rating activities by unknown sources on certain Qihoo 360 applications." There was no further explanation.However, today Apple has reinstated Qihoo 360's iOS apps, without asking the company to modify any of them. Seems fishy, ri...

Here's a puzzler. Back in September 2011, less than 6 months ago, Jesta Digital loudly committed $15 million to establish Jesta Labs, a New York-based mobile services startup incubator. Fast forward to today, and the incubator has vanished from the face of the planet. Their website has been taken down, and we hear pretty much everyone who had anything to do with Jesta Labs has moved on.

Guest blogging is one of the most efficient, yet misunderstood, social media marketing tactics. It’s not new. In fact, it’s almost as old as blogging itself.  It started becoming a standout tactic just a few years ago. This post answers one of the most frequently asked questions: Is guest blogging good for “big guys?” By the way, “guest blogging, the time waster” is one of the myths I busted in my previous post for Social Media Examiner. Today’s article is one more argument in favor of guest bl...  show all text

In what may be the first test of Twitter‘s new international censorship strategy, Brazil is suing the company over tweets that warn drivers of police roadblocks and speed traps. The suit, filed in a federal court in Goias by the attorney general’s office, is also going after users who compose the tweets. Brazil’s government is levying fines of $290,000 until Twitter changes course. The government charges that such tweets break the law and directly endanger “life, safety and property,” CNN repor...  show all text

Ogni giorno qualcuno li dà per spacciati, i giornali e i giornalisti. Che però vorrebbero continuare ad esistere, sotto altre forme, con linguaggi diversi, con un nuovo modo di fare notizie. L’informazione è finita prima sul Web, poi su cellulari e tablet. La rivoluzione digitale l’ha resa disponibile ovunque e secondo qualcuno il citizen journalism manderà definitivamente in pensione i professionisti della notizia, insieme alla carta stampata. Noi crediamo che le nuove tecnologie siano invece ...  show all text

“It’s like Pinterest, but…” Welcome to my inbox for the last several months. Just as the world now has a Groupon and a Birchbox for everything, so too is Pinterest creating a wake of copy-cat sites. We’re not talking about sites that merely incorporate Pinterest’s design elements. There are sites that have copied Pinterest’s style, functionality and even portions of its name. Pinterest hasn’t released user numbers, but one study found it drives more traffic to websites than Google+, YouTube and...  show all text
