A tipping point


A tipping point 04/09/2005 08:45 PM

The 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

Keep tipping those bottles, it still
works
02/05/2005 09:07 PM
About 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.

Tilt. Win. Repeat.

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.

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can
Make a Big Difference


The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can
Make a Big Difference
03/30/2005 05:47 PM
Product Image: The Tipping Point:
How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell
My rating: 5 out of 5

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.
