Preparing For The Future... Or Just
Clinging To The Past?
03/31/2005 02:52 PM
It's completely natural for companies in changing marketplaces to look for ways to protect their existing cash cows -- but it makes for a dangerous long term strategy. Here's another example from the newspaper industry. While not everyone agrees that newsp rint is going away, all of the talk about putti ng up pay walls for the online versions of newspapers or keepin g certain content only in the print edition is all about trying to artificially boost the appeal of the paper version in relation to the digital version. That's backwards. As new studies are showing, many in the younger generation of today won't take a newsprint subscription even if it's free. Not only do they not find it an efficient way to get and read the news, they get upset at the growing pile of newsprint in their homes. It makes them feel guilty for not reading it. It's a psychological barrier that free subscriptions and exclusive content will never get over. Instead, news organizations should be working on ways to better attract users to their digital editions, which means providing them what they want -- not making it harder for them to get what they want.

Records from the trash: rescued audio


Records from the trash: rescued audio 08/23/2004 06:36 AM
Cory Doctorow: Great LiveJournal post about one person's garbage-picked record-album habits:
And if something is not my cup of tea, I try to pass it on. For example, I'm not a huge fan of hip-hop, though I certainly like some of it. Whenever I show up at my local with a pile of records I've scavenged, Andre, one of the barmen, will probably say, sounding genuinely offended, "How come you never get any for me?" A few months ago, I spotted a gigantic stack of mostly hip-hop 12-inches awaiting the Sanitation Dept. I grabbed a gigantic pile, as many as I could carry, and made my way back to the bar, where I'd just seen him. "Hey, Andre, I got a present for you…" I said, and dropped the discs on the bar. "I'll be right back--there's more." It was worth it just to see the startled look on his face. (Out of the whole bunch of maybe 250 I kept about 8 or 10.)

And then there are 78s, which most people don't have the machinery to play. I've become interested in old 78rpm records ever since my father gave me his collection of jazz records--as well as a turntable to play them on--not long before his death. While there were some LPs in the bunch--and some of those were amazing ones--the majority of the collection consisted of jazz 78s, mostly from the 1940s, but some dating back as early as 1929, which means I'm the third generation to own them, since my father was only 15 that year and obviously acquired those records secondhand.
