Tipping point reaches tipping point

homeAmericans reach 'a tipping point' So now a tipping point is any
change. Thus has the term reached the pinnacle of success: It's become
utterly meaningless....

04/09/2005 08:45 PMThe notion of on-demand news has always been at the base of the
blogosphere.
But before the blogosphere there was Interactive TV - and the base
of that (besides the hype of on-demand movies) was on-demand
news. TV news.
But it didn't surprise me that in the late 90's anyone brave enough
to go and try and offer on-demand News - was gonna charge for it. We
were working (at the time) on some new tools that combined TV
broadcasting and web portals - so I was tracking this sort of
stuff.
S
o the word is out that CNN has decided to abandon their 'walled
garden' and (heaven forbid) make their news on-demand service
free. I wonder how much stuff it really is?
I wonder if they'll go and just put EVERYTHING up? I wonder if Fox
and MSNBC will follow? Still more - I WONDER WHAT FORMAT THEIR
META-DATA will take?
Don't you?
Don't you wish they'd have tagging, RSS, a giant taxonomy of all
things, the most amazing set of APIs and namespaces - that brings to
us what NewsML promised?
God wouldn't life be great - then. Maybe they're watching the BBC
and saying "hhhmmmmmmmm".
But at least we'll get SOME of that news - huh? Now I just wonder
if there's any meta-data in it - at all - or is it just another
version of podcasting - but this time from a major media entity.
Afterall - who would have thought that a major grass roots media
revolution would be launched on a standard that didn't even say
"what's inside it, who's in it and when and where was it made?"
Oh - well maybe next time. Or maybe CNN will get it right.
Afterall - they are professionals.

Keep tipping those bottles, it still
works
Keep tipping those bottles, it still
works
02/05/2005 09:07 PMAbout this time last year, MacMerc worked its way into the soft drink
hall of fame... Or Pepsi's hit list, but I really prefer to think of
it as the hall of fame. Anyway, we let the world know that instead of
buying just any iTunes Pepsi (and hoping for a winning bottle), a
simple twist of the wrist and a watchful eye could reveal if a bottle
had music in its future. We received many media accolades over the
piece, but also
buckets of hate mail, which just goes to show how seriously
some people take this stuff. So why am I using this space to tell you
a year old story? The trick works for the
new contest.

I was able to find some
of the bottles for the new contest today and I'm happy to report that
tipping the bottles still works. It appears a little more difficult
(though I could just be imagining this, I would need to secure a
bottle of year old suds to confirm), but it is indeed possible. Most
caps have a little interior ridge, though I don't see how this
obscures the view. Overall it seems the caps are shorter. But again,
this could be complete poppycock.
You can find photos of both
winning and losing caps on Flickr.
Still need the trick? You can
check out our
original report for full directions and a lengthy commentary--no
need to try to piece it together from poor copy cats.

A great book on guerilla marketing via memetics.
"The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown
books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the
phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious
changes that mark everyday life," writes Malcolm Gladwell, "is to
think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and
behaviors spread just like viruses do." Although anyone familiar with
the theory of memetics will recognize this concept, Gladwell's The
Tipping Point has quite a few interesting twists on the
subject.
