06/22/2005 02:17 AMCollaborative "citizen reported" news sites are
all
the rage these days, so some bizarre take on the trend was surely
inevitable. The development in question is the imminent launch of
HappyNews.com, which will focus only on -- you guessed it -- happy
news. As opposed to the various wiki-style sites that get ordinary
people to
volunt
arily write stories, HappyNews will operate more like
Ohmyne
ws, which pays people for their efforts. The paid-submission
approach sounds worthwhile and ripe for testing in the US, but that's
where the logic ends. The focus on only good news -- which apparently
has been tried before -- is just a problematic premise. We're all for
reforming the media's tendency to harp on the worst news possible and
we wish HappyNews luck in their goal of supplementing traditional
news, but perhaps there's a reason there haven't been any successful
"happy news" outlets: happy isn't
news. If a story with a
positive angle is at all newsworthy, it will mostly likely either be:
1) picked up by traditional media, 2) a feel-good ditty typically
relegated the end of local newscasts along with the one about the
waterskiing squirrel, or 3)
all of the above.

12/24/2003 08:10 PMMost major religions have some sort of holiday during this season, and
in countries that use the Gregorian calendar many companies close down
or work short hours until the current year ends and the next one
begins. We, too, will be taking time off to spend with our families
and friends, so NewsForge will be on a reduced posting schedule
between now and January 1.

the idea of being able to access the news stories on PHPDeveloper from
a mobile device (cell phone/PDA/etc)? I have developed a system that
provides the same content as this front page in a mobile format, but I
need some people to help me test it.

News site registration
News site registration
07/16/2004 11:46 AMThe single hottest topic in the online news industry at
the moment is that of required registration. A number of large news
sites (the New York Times, the
Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune) have moved
to this model, and many local newspapers are following suit.
If you haven't seen BugMeNot, go and check it out now.
It's a simple service for sharing free news site accounts, and it's
started to upset some people in the news industry. A post to the online-news mailing
list inquiring about possible legal action against the site
prompted me to reply with the following:
The flaw here is not with BugMeNot - it's with the entire
concept of
user registration in its present form. The reason BugMeNot works is
that there is absolutely no value to an end user in keeping their
account to themselves. If you want to stop people from sharing their
accounts, give them an incentive not to. This is not a difficult thing
to do - I have a large number of accounts on different community sites
which are used to contribute to discussions and manage my personal
information. I would never dream of sharing those accounts with others
- it would allow other people to impersonate me and damage my
reputation. An account that only allows me to read content (a one-way
interaction) is of no value to me, so why not share the account with
others?
BugMeNot is not a new idea by any stretch of the
imagination: shared
accounts have existed for as long as sites have required registration
for spurious reasons. For as long as I can remember, members of the
MetaFilter community have worked together to set up username/password
combinations of metafilter/metafilter on sites that require
registration to bypass the irritation of setting up yet another
account.
If you want to fight BugMeNot, the solution is to monitor
the site and
ban any accounts for your own site that appear there - but that's just
fighting the symptoms. The core problem is the whole idea of
registration itself: it's anti-web, anti-user, it doesn't scale and
it's a sign of extreme short term thinking. Imagine if every site on
the web required registration - no one would use it!
As a web user, I see registration as nothing more than an
unnecessary
irritation. Before BugMeNot I would simply hit "Back" whenever I saw a
registration screen; now I use it to carry on through to the articles
and accompanying ads. As a heavy web user who buys online almost as
frequently as offline I'm exactly the kind of demographic sites should
be trying to attract.
Reading the above a few days later, I think it still
accurately represents my thoughts on the free registration model.
Adrian has also posted his thoughts
on registration, which run along very similar lines to mine.
For a great example of the mentality behind registration,
check out this sp
iel from the Toronto Star (via Craig Saila):
Our main goal of asking you to become a registered member
of thestar.com is to improve and enhance your online experience with
us. Registration is an important piece of our long-term strategy in
building a valuable audience for our advertisers and helping us in
setting the priorities for future site development and
enhancements.
[...]
By asking you to share some information with us we are
able to increase the value of our site to advertisers, who help
support the cost of producing one of Canada's top news sites, by
offering them the ability to target their advertising messages based
on the information you provide.
And that's the problem right there: as a user, the value
proposition of having more targetted ads thrown at me just isn't a
good enough incentive for me to jump through their hoops.
