Times Were Bad, VCs Get Tough; Times Are
Good, VCs Get Tough 05/20/2004 01:05 PM
After the bubble popped, many VCs practically stopped all investing. In the cases where they did invest, they often put in incre dibly onerous terms that gave the VCs a lot more power than they might have deserved (though, some VCs will disagree with this). Of course, now that times are getting better, people are saying that VCs are tightening terms again - so as not to get burned. What this really means is that many VCs are looking for any reason to make the terms more in their favor. Times are bad? Terms need to be tighter. Times are good? Terms need to be tighter to make sure they don't go bad again. The obvious response, of course, is that it is the VC's job to get good terms - but if those terms cause more problems, it's a strategic mistake. If entrepreneurs feel that their VCs are ripping them off, it defeats much of the purpose of getting that VC money in the first place. Besides, as the startup market picks up again (as it's doing) this becomes less of an issue. Already, we hear stories about VCs offering ridiculous valuations to companies because they're in a "hot" space. When competition for the hot startups increases, VCs are suddenly willing to make the terms a bit more reasonable.

PeopleSoft Turns Down Latest Bid By Oracle: PeopleSoft stock closed at about $22-and-a-quarter yesterday, so $26 a share is a nice premium. How long can they keep saying no?

PeopleSoft Inc. yesterday rejected Oracle Corp.'s $9.4 billion hostile takeover bid, saying the $26-a-share offer is too low and expressing serious doubts about whether the proposed combination would receive antitrust approval from regulators in Washington.

The times, they are a-changin' 04/21/2004 12:50 PM

A recent study of people that download music from the internet found that 21% of the participants had also downloaded a feature film before. 9% had even downloaded a film in the past month. These are some fairly high numbers and point out that while everyone has been predicting what happened to music would eventually happen to film, it may actually come true. Hopefully the Hollywood studios pick up on the success of things like Magnatune and the iTunes Music Store and provide an easy-to-use and relatively inexpensive way to download movies legally, before everyone figures out a way to pirate the stuff behind their backs.

The NY Times wants less links

The NY Times wants less links 06/05/2005 11:55 PM

A couple months ago, I chatted with someone who said the New York Times was considering going to a subscription model for nytimes.com, similar to the Wall Street Journal. I said that would be a foolish and short-sighted decision on the Times' part; to place their content behind a subscription wall would be to remove themselves from online conversations now and in the future.

Adam L. Penenberg, in an article for wired.com on February 24, 2005 about the Wall Street Journal's for-pay approach, Whither The Wall Street Journal? expressed a similar point of view:

Since most people refuse to pay for WSJ stories, most bloggers are reluctant to link to them. It also has an impact on anyone who uses the web for research -- and there are a lot of us. As importantly, the next generation of readers is growing up by accessing news over the internet, and one place they are not surfing to is WSJ.com. With their habits being formed now, there is little chance the Journal will become part of their lives, either now or in the future. (emphasis mine)

The Times should remove all barriers to content, from their registration requirement to their for-pay archive access

And yet, yesterday the Times issued a press release, The New York Times Announces TimesSelect - New Online Offering to Launch in September announcing their decision to move more content to an expensive for-pay only section of their site. This is a move in the wrong direction: The Times should remove all barriers to content, from their registration requirement to their for-pay archive access. Such action would enable and increase linking to their broad range of content.

As Jill Walker writes in her paper, Links and Power: The Political Economy of Linking on the Web, "Links have become the currency of the Web. With this economic value they also have power, affecting accessibility and knowledge on the Web."

Enabling more links to the New York Times would:

• increase the visibility of the Times brand
• help content reach a larger segment of readers
• increase traffic to the site

Clearly, increased traffic would drive increased revenue in the form of online advertising. And in the long term, I believe it would generate more income than charging US$49.95 for an annual subscription. Perhaps US$49.95 is, as Martin Nisenholtz (senior vice president of digital operations for the Times) says, a "terrific price point" for what they're offering -- if you happen to live in the US or western Europe. But it truly is a world wide web, with English as its de facto language.

As media brands increasingly become more global, it's hard to fathom why the Times wouldn't do everything in its power to ensure it's the world wide web's news leader. By charging for its online content, the Times reduces its number of linkable sources, and thus its reach in the online world. It's their first step towards ensuring they will play a smaller role in it going forward.

Times 2, Journal 0

Times 2, Journal 0 03/14/2005 05:45 PM
Well, it's official: The New York Times, having replaced William Safire with John Tierney, now has two dedicated "conservative seats" on its op-ed page. Meanwhile, as I wrote a month ago, the Wall Street Journal, having lost its sole token sorta-liberal, has...not replaced him at all.

The Times constantly takes brickbats from the right for its supposed liberal bias, but it's clearly trying to find room on its opinion pages for a variety of perspectives. Meanwhile, the Journal, whose editorial pages list far further to the right than the Times' lean leftward, doesn't seem to think it need bother expose its readers to those who disagree with it.

These papers pretty much represent the U.S.'s two most important national dailies. When I beef about the Journal, I sometimes get e-mail from people I know (or don't know) who work there, protesting that I shouldn't hold the editorial pages' neanderthal bias against the rest of the paper. And it's true: I love the Journal's feature writing, and a lot of its news coverage is fair and reasonably non-ideological. I would say exactly the same thing about the Times' news pages.

Yet on the opinion/editorial side, the distinction couldn't be more vivid, and it needs to be said, over and over again: One paper has a hubbub of different points of view, the other has a starkly uniform party line that is significantly off to the margins of the American mainstream.

That difference hasn't seemed to filter very far into the blogosphere's media-criticism memepool. Anti-Times noise is endemic here, whereas the Journal doesn't seem to warrant more than an occasional snipe. Maybe that's a sign of the Journal's subscription-only self-marginalization; but Dow Jones has actually placed most Journal opinion-writing on the free Opinionjournal.com site, so I don't think that's it.

Rather, this is one more data point in t he right's campaign against the Times and other media institutions that it sees as impediments on the path to total reality control. The scorched-earth ground rules parallel the CNN/Fox argument. Conservatives jealously defend their right to own their own partisan media outlets, while loudly complaining that anyone still foolish enough to struggle for balance is hopelessly biased to the left.
