12/03/2003 03:46 PMNAA Connections Day Three
NAA Connections Day Three
01/22/2004 03:13 AMThe last day of Connections was really just more of the stuff
you've read in my past two accounts of my experiences at the
conference.
I attended fewer sessions on Day Three than I did during the other
two days, I think mainly because I realized (or percieved) that I
wasn't really getting anything out of the sessions. The two sessions
I did attend on day three really were worth attending though. I
attended the Buzz Sessions meetings and a one entitled Registration
Revisited. I also spent time meeting with vendors, other online
newspaper people from similar markets and clients. This third day was
much more enjoyable and productive than the first two...
Buzz
Sessions: The Buzz Sessions were five small group discussions with
topics like Print to Web (taking newspaper display ads and putting
them online), Creating spanish-language websites, Essential website
redesign, Multimedia (and how to use it), and one other topic (that I
can't remember). I sat in on two of the five little groups: Print to
Web and Multimedia. Both were great little discussions. The overall
thing I take away from the meeting was that newspapers are really
trying to figure out how to use the distribution channel that the
internet is as a way to really transform themselves from just 'printed
newspaper companies' into 'content and delivery' companies. Every size
and every shape of newspaper was represented in these buzz sessions
and a lot of great sharing took place. On the topic of Multimedia,
there are some really cool things going on out there, if you take
notice... For example, when SignOnSanDiego.com was putting pictures
and movies of the wild-fires that afflicted Southern California this
summer... did you know that they found cell-phone camera phones the
easiest and most manageable technology solution for getting that
content back to the newsroom for production and posting online? Not
some $20,000 or $100,000 video set-up. A bunch of stupid $200
cell-phones with cameras built into them and an army of folks to go
take pictures. That ingenuity and creativity in this space really
amazes me sometimes... cell-phone camera based movies... such a simple
solution for web-ready video...
Registra
tion Revisited: Wow! Great presentation and by far the most
attended and interesting discussion throughout all of Connections. We
heard from Belo Interactive, Tribune Interactive and the Arizona
Republic's online folks... Belo and Tribune are truly leaders in the
online registration field. AZCentral just launched 'lite
registration' last September. Belo and TI have been at it for 4 and 3
years respectively. Belo and TI are just now starting to be able to
monetize their registration data effectively for advertisers (and are
starting to try and figure out how to use their registration to serve
their users/online readers). AZCentral is also just starting to sell
advertising based on their registration data. The overall feeling I
get coming out of the session was that registration is coming to a
newspaper site near you soon. If you're local news site doesn't
require registration today, trust me when I say that they're thinking
very hard about doing it. Very hard... all of them. And when
newspapers do it, I can tell you that TV, radio, and almost all other
news-content websites will start following. The leaders are doing it.
Their readers aren't complaining at all (100 complaints in 1.6
Million registrations in Arizona isn't complaining). It's coming
folks. And I dare say paid premium content online is coming next...
It's already here in some local news markets.
I didn't attend the presentation on The Transformation of
Advertising, though I wanted to. I heard that it was all about how TV
is going to change... the person that told me that also said that 99%
of the presentation had very little to do with that newspaper
companies can do to affect TV advertisers... I guess I'm glad I didn't
go to that one...
I met a lot of great people at Connections, but overall I'm coming
away slightly disappointed. My company spent a lot of money to send
me out to this conference. I invested a lot of time that could have
been spent in front of clients. I expected to really get to learn a
lot at this conference, but, in the words of a peer "everything we
talked about was 'old-hat'". I sat next to the marketing director of
a small paper in Arkansas on the way home, and she was very
disappointed too. In her words the conference was "more form that
substance".
Will I go to next year's
Connections? Yes, most likely, but only because it's in Dallas,
and I can turn it into a week-long trip to visit clients, not because
I think I'll get anything out of the conference. Can I do something
to make the conference better for all attending by joining the
planning committees? Sure, I think I could, but do I want to? Don't
know the answer to that.
NAA Connections Day Two
NAA Connections Day Two
01/22/2004 03:15 AMHmmm... I have mixed feelings about the second day of the NAA
Connections meetings... Where should I start?
I guess I'll start with the fact that the official NAA blog hasn't
been updated to actually reflect anything happening at the conference
on Monday. It jumped from Sunday to an advertisement for the Tuesday
session. There are any number of reasons for this, but I think a big
reason for this is that the whole "we'll blog the conference" was a
good idea, but isn't really something traditional newspaper people
understand, so they haven't committed to it. For example, they asked
people to participate on the blog, but didn't actually tell anyone the
URL or tell them how to add an entry... just a thought. The blog was
most likely an addition thrown into the mix at the last minute without
any real understanding of how to use it.
Anyways, I attended a few sessions today:
• Fighting
for Recruitment Revenue - This was an hour or so presentation by
Mark Mehler and Gerry Crispin, the guys behind CareerXRoads. Great presentation.
Probably the most well presented stuff all day. Gerry and Mark
presented the results of their latest study on Hiring Practices (which
is supposed to be online here, but
isn't according to Safari... actually, it looks like that's a redirect
to a download of a Word Doc) [Press Release]
and interjected their thoughts and answered questions from the
audience throughout. Great overview of what Gerry and Mark see as
'leading indicators' in the hiring space, and some great actionable
information for the recruitment space.
• Future Focus: Trends that Will Shape Online Real
Estate Revenue (not online anywhere that I can find) - Very
good panel. Very good.
Panelists were: Bob Birkentall, Tribune Co. Real Estate Strategy
Manager, Robert Kempf, Cape Cod Times Internet Business Development
Manager, and Dave Coglizer, eBay. The Moderator was Tony Lee, Editor
in Chief and General Manager, The Wall Street Journal Online
Network.
The panel presented the 10 trends they see shaping the future of
the real estate market. They were:
Trend 1: Home Sellers Take Control - Every aspect of sales
will be measured and sales channels that don't produce sales will get
eliminated from the marketing and advertising budgets of home sellers.
If an advertising channel's results aren't tracked and reported, it
doesn't exist.
Trend 2: Expect Significant Growth in New Property Types -
Disappearing boundaries will boost demand for vacation homes,
recreation land, time-shares and low-management commercial properties.
Ebay is already playing
in this field.
Trend 3: Online Brokers will Boost Competition, Cut
Commissions, and Weaken the "Realtor" Grip - Data is available to all,
propelling the growth of discount brokers, For Sale By Owner sites and
other low-cost marketing efforts.
Trend 4: Sellers Demand to Receive Their Own "Home Page" -
(now this is a cool idea) - Newspaper sites (and every other medium
for home sales) will create 'portals' for clients' homes to help speed
the sale process.
Trend 5: Auctioning Homes will become a real alternative -
Online auctions will solve sales issues for many types of properties
and their sellers. (Dave shared with us an annecdote that "50% of all
homes sold in Australia are sold through an auction" noting that it's
just part of the culture there and has been for about 20 years).
Trend 6: RETS is here, while VOWs and IDX systems are already
old news - With a data standard emerging, transaction information will
flow easily and targeted internet marketing will blossom.
Trend 7: E-commerce replaces call centers as online up sells
print - Self Service becomes the preferred online client experience
and print emerges as a "premium" opportunity for the advertiser.
Trend 8: A la carte systems embrace online - From lawyers to
appraisers to inspectors, the entire home sales process will be faster
and cheaper on the internet.
Trend 9: The future of the MLS is fuzzy.
Trend 10: Online Real Estate dominance is still up for grabs
- The jury remains out on whether newspaper websites can become the
online equivalent of print for most home buyers and sellers.
• Competin
g Against New Threats - What a waste of my time... but not because
the content and presentation wasn't useable, mainly because of the
fact that the panelists are probably 10 times more technologically
savvy than the newspaper business. The panelists were Mark Pincus,
co-founder and CEO of Tribe Networks Inc, Mike Downey, director of
business development, Overture Services, and Dan Finnigan, executive
VP and general manager for Yahoo! HotJobs.
Mark presented Tribe.net well, but I honestly think 95% of the
audience had no idea what he was talking about... Mike told us that
Overture wasn't a competitor to local newspapers, but rather that we
were a desired partner, and Dan talked, but about what I honestly
can't remember (he wouldn't speak into his microphone). My favorite
quote from Mark was that "newspapers don't have a chance in local
search". Whether that's true or not, I couldn't tell you, but hearing
Mark say it at a newspaper conference was funny. I can tell you that
newspapers on a national level don't have a chance to compete with the
likes of Google or Yahoo in the local search market, but there's no
telling that someone out there couldn't build a model that works in
their own market. I could see NYTimes Digital putting together
something that worked for Boston, or WPNI putting together a solution
for D.C. You just never know, 'till it happens.
Overall, this panel wasn't very useable... The audience didn't ask
any questions, and that's always a sign of disconnect between the
panelists and their topics, and what the audience is looking to hear.
I for one would have much rather heard about how newspapers can
compete with the likes of online yellow pages (especially considering
that Superpages is really expanding into the
local online market again) or ways to compete against HotJobs or
Monster rather than hearing about how they 'want to partner with
newspapers'. The topic was "competing" and the panel didn't
deliver.
I will say that it was great to meet Mark at Tribe.net, and I'm
hoping we'll be able to talk again soon.
I didn't attend two sessions because they ran concurrently to the
ones I did attend: Ultra-lo
cal Content and Services and Ultimate Election Coverage. These
two sessions also seemed to focus on content rather than on
advertising, and thus I was more interested in the other
meetings/presentations I attended.
I'm really looking forward to the "New Online Business Plans from
NAA New Media Fellows" presentation on Tuesday and "Registration
Revisited"
Sorry this blog report isn't more full-featured, but it's been a
long day folks... I sure wish the NAA New Media folks were really
blogging the conference, but instead they're showing that 'newspapers
don't get blogs' -- something I hear all the time from my friends that
know blogs...

Tamagotchi Connections Review
Tamagotchi Connections Review
08/17/2004 07:32 AM
Jason Piper shares his impressions of the hottest new virtual pet
(okay, pretty much only virtual pet) in town: the new Tamagotchi
Connection. You might not give a flying flip, but I adored my original
Tamagotchi for at least the first 8 to 10 hours.
When the first Tamagotchi was introduced in the 1998 was an instant
hit but just as quickly turned into a parent's nightmare. The new
keychain based electronic pet would "cry" (translates to a lot of
beeping) for attention non-stop for the first few hours. This for some
children was unnerving and soon discredited the product. Many parents
found themselves taking the child's toy to work to maintain its health
and keep the pet alive to avoid the disturbing news that their kids
pet had gone away.

03/17/2005 03:56 AMDavid Pescovitz:
The Vatican has
appointed Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone to speak out against Dan
Brown's
The
Da Vinci Code. From Reuters:
"A lot of novels do good but this book is rotten food
... it does harm, not good," Bertone said in the 30-minute interview
in the offices of the Vatican's doctrinal department.
"This book is a sack full of lies against the Church, against the real
history of Christianity and against Christ himself," said Bertone,
archbishop of northern Genoa.... "I would ask the author of this book
and similar ones to be more respectful because freedom of expression
has limits when it does not respect others," he said...
Bertone said he was stunned that Catholic bookstores, even those near
the Vatican, were selling the book.
"It's impossible to pull the book off shelves of general bookstores
... but certainly not selling it in Catholic bookstores would be a
good first step," he said.
