The Difference Between Online Content
And Broadcast Content
02/10/2004 02:46 PMMajor League Baseball made news last year for
claim
ing to own all in-progress game data - saying they were going to
go after websites that reported what was happening at a game in
real-time. It didn't matter that the law is pretty clear that you
can't copyright facts - MLB believes that just presenting the data is
a "rebroadcast" of the game. That said, I guess it's no surprise to
hear that they now believe that web audio and video broadcasts of
games should work the same way as television broadcasts with a content
provider
paying a huge
upfront fee for the rights to the games, and then telling them
they can make it back in ad revenue and subscription fees. Of course,
the various internet sites they've approached with this plan have been
laughing them out the door, and pointing out that they're not
television stations, and they just want to provide something useful to
their users - but aren't going to lose money to do so. While MLB has
been at the forefront of offering streaming video and audio, it
appears they still look on this as a broadcast medium, and not the
interactive medium it actually is. They're doing their best to
squeeze more money out of existing fans, rather than attract new fans,
which is dangerous for the future of the sport. Not only do you anger
your biggest fans, you also make it less likely that you're going to
pick up new fans.

Aggregating Education
03/11/2003 10:45 AMI know it seems like I'm only talking about RSS these days, but
that's because 1) it's beginning to hit a critical mass, 2) I very
much believe libraries need to be part of this (if not leading
it), and 3) it's on my mind because of my upcoming presentation with
Steven Cohen on this
topic.
However, it's not just me. Ken Tompkins is thinking about
aggregators, too, and he's doing me one better by actually creating
some. For his campus, he's currently aggregating NY Times
and BBC feeds in one aggregator, Manila sites in a second
aggregator, and the
feeds from both aggregators into one "meta-aggregator." Ken
writes:
"I have just begun to consider rss in college literature
teaching.... We have a Frontier server and, of course, I know about
the aggregator in both Manila and Radio.
So, I've worked out a way to aggregate our student Manila sites or,
at least, the best ones as well as provide a way to aggregate news of
interest to Arts & Humanities students....
These are very modest and display nothing important. I just got
them working today. They need formatting and a swipe at css. For me,
what is important, is that I now have a technique for aggregating
sites of any flavor -- faculty, student, major, etc -- and can easily
set faculty to creating similar sites for their
departments."
Very impressive, Ken! This is another good experiment to watch. Is
it my imagination or is education becoming an epicenter of RSS
activity? Certainly more than at the BigPubs these days.
Ken describes a setup similar to what I want for Illinois
libraries. For our "News Exchange Web Service" (NEWS) grant project,
we're going to get four of the twelve
Illinois Library Systems blogging with accompanying RSS feeds.
We'll also provide individual and group aggregation inter- and
intra-System, thereby creating a knowledge exchange system of
unparalleled potential for communication. And that's just for
starters.
Side note of personal opinion: the new Illinois
Library Systems home page should be a blog with an RSS feed!

Google Tests Aggregating Hotspot
Directories
Google Tests Aggregating Hotspot
Directories
02/18/2004 01:17 PMGoogle Lab's new Search by Location service lets you aggregate results
for hotspots: This is nifty idea which aggregates the address
information that Google is parsing from its results (any time it sees
anything that looks like an address) and tying it to keywords. It's
particularly useful for Wi-Fi aggregation, because you're finding
locations that not only my business partner JiWire lists or libraries
that Bill Drew has assembled, but you're seeing even individual
locations like coffeeshops that mention they have Wi-Fi, community
wireless pages, and other randomly related content. I've pumped in my
office Zip code in the link above, but try other combinations. Note
that JiWire's listings are prominent because of how they structured
their site. As a group of former Cnet.com'ers, they know that if you
expose URLs that are permanent and look like "good" URLs (not full of
argument junk after a question mark) then search engines will well
index their hierarchy. This is hardly a secret, but many sites still
haven't discovered it. [link via Jim Thompson, Doc Searls]...

Aggregating Mail Lists, Sorting by Topic
Aggregating Mail Lists, Sorting by Topic
05/12/2004 06:54 PMThe disintegration of e-mail under the corrosive effects of spam
has led many people, including me, to assume that mail lists are next
to useless as ways to get information out to people. After all, spam
filters trap lots of legitimate mail, and who has time to subscribe to
and then read all the junk that comes in on various lists, however
useful they might be.
Zack Rosen just showed me a new project he and Neil Drumm have been
working on, and I'm impressed. It's called Progressive Pipes, and it
aggregates a bunch of progressive and left-leaning lists into an
easy-to-peruse collection of "headlines," namely the subject lines.
(Rosen and Drumm both developed technology for the Howard Dean
presidential campaign and are now working to bring collaborative tools
to a wider activist community.)
Progressive Pipes breaks the messages down in several ways, including
list names and topics. Among the latter, for example, are "Beat Bush" and
"Civil
Liberties" among others. Even better, you can subscribe to the
site and its sub-categories as RSS feeds.
While this is a targeted site -- aimed at one side of the political
spectrum -- there's no reason that such an application couldn't be
done for any kind of mailing list on any kind of topic.
This is clever, and useful.

Will Online Gaming's Addictive Marketing
Get Them In Legal Trouble?
06/28/2004 05:22 AMFor years, people have described how online multi-player games like
EverQuest were
addicti
ve, and the industry
loved it. In fact, many started using
the phrase in their own marketing materials. Now, however, some are
wondering if the self-proclaimed addictive labels
are going to come back to haunt online video
game makers when lawyers come along to blame them for just about
any crime associated with the game. Already there's been talk about
blaming such games for suicides and for child neglect -- and calling
the game "addictive" in the marketing probably won't help the game
makers' side of the story in front of a jury.

Profiting from free, online content
07/15/2004 06:50 PM There isn't a compelling business argument today that would suggest
that giving away our content is a good idea. (more) What tangible
benefit does the New York Times get in return for being a world news
library to us? It's neat to be revered by all as a repository of
information, but without a visible associated profit, I can certainly
understand why it could be rejected by higher-ups. In the interests of
simplifying things, I'm going to make a gross generalization of this
and call it: "How do I make money while giving everything away for
free?": Advertising The scourge of optic nerves everywhere can still
be useful when done tactfully. Loud, garish ads can send people into
seizures, drive people to distraction, inspire thousands to write code
to block them — all for the sake of making a...

AP Says Its Time To Charge Partners For
Online Content
AP Says Its Time To Charge Partners For
Online Content
04/18/2005 11:29 PMThis probably doesn't come as a shock to many, but at its annual
meeting today, the Associated Press announced
that it would begin charging newspapers and
broadcasters to post its content online starting in 2006.
Currently, licensees of AP content are allowed take content they've
licensed for print and repurpose it for online at no additional
charge. Clearly, the AP is trying to evolve itself to meet the
shifting media consumption of the average user, from trying to
charg
e Google News for AP content to offering
charg
ing several different versions of an AP story. With its new "eAP"
platform, licensees will be able to access news via a searchable
database, complete with tags. However, the question remains, will the
current licensees see the benefit to paying for the
same exact commodity content? The Associated Press is making the bet that
online is now part of its affiliates' long term strategy. Feeling the
pinch in their classified and advertising revenues, newspapers are
scrambling to
invest
in the web. The AP realizes that it has been giving away too much
for too little. Couple with the fact that the AP is starting to build
its own online presence, and the AP can hope for two endgame
scenarios. Scenario one is that the affiliates find an adequate
return in licensing AP content; in this case, the AP is able to extend
its current model to the online medium. Scenario two is that most
licensees cannot justify paying for the commodity content, and only a
few larger trafficked sites decide to take on the expense. In that
case, the AP has its own ad-supported news site, which could end up
being the one main source for AP content -- but it could also lose out
on content from members who are upset at the higher fees. Either way,
we're witnessing the latest experiment in how the traditional press
makes its way into the internet world.

Why Charging For Newspaper Content
Online Doesn't Make Sense
Why Charging For Newspaper Content
Online Doesn't Make Sense
11/07/2003 04:16 AMOne of the arguments that shows up here repeatedly is on the
backwardness of local newspapers charging for online content. There
are a number of reasons why it's a bad idea - from the level of taking
yourself out of the online discussion and believing that walled garden
content can survive to misunderstanding the very basic economics of
the internet. Still, many newspapers are trying to do so, and some
even believe that
it's going
well. Along comes Vin Crosbie, who knows both the newspaper
business and the online content world, to
smack
a little sense into them. The Albuquerque Journal explained why
they thought they were brilliant for creating a "successful" operation
charging for their online content, and Crosbie picks apart the
argument, bit by bit, and explains how they're actually losing money
on this plan - and how all their other examples of newspapers charging
for online content are bad (or irrelevant) examples. If you're
interested in the economics of online content, it's worth a read.

Taking A Tiered Approach To Fee-Based
Content Online
Taking A Tiered Approach To Fee-Based
Content Online
10/30/2003 11:46 PMMark Glaser's latest piece at OJR looks at the plans to
charge for the
online content at canada.com, with a focus on how the pay system
will work on tiers. The basic level of news access will be free, but
columnists and opinion pieces get shifted up to tier 2 - which
requires a subscription to a CanWest newspaper. Tier 3 offers a PDF
version of the newspaper, mainly targeted at out of towners who want
to get the paper. Tier 4 is their "holy grail" - where they'll add in
extra multimedia content. It'll be an interesting experiment, but so
far, most (but certainly not all) attempts at charging for online
newspaper content has failed miserably. The problem is that you're
competing against tons of free content that is often considered as
good, if not better. You have to really offer something different,
that can't be found elsewhere, and which people place a value on. The
Wall Street Journal has been able to do that. Most news
organizations, though, can't get that sort of buy-in. There are also
pretty big risks in taking this route. Page views drop precipitously
- so if you don't get back the lost ad revenue in subscription fees,
you're actually worse off. You also have to realize that there are
additional costs associated with billing, customer support, and
maintaining subscriptions (partly offset by lower bandwidth fees).
There's also the larger question of blocking your content off from the
world. What makes content increasingly valuable these days is the
links between it and other content. That is, after all, what makes
the web what it is. Blocking up your content behind a paid wall like
that cuts you out of that process, for the most part. Depending on
what they're trying to do, some sites may be able to get away with
that, but the risks are pretty big. It makes it much more difficult
for new people (customers) to discover you and realize you might be
relevant to their lives. It also makes your overall content less
valuable because there isn't any of the additional valuable
discussions that often go on around good content.
