All About Jazz (Free subscription) | yesterday
Kyle Bylin, Associate Editor
 For those who came of age just before the rise and fall of Napster, what music they listened to depended greatly on where they were from, who their friends were, what their parents listened to, and, above all, it was primarily determined by the "tyranny of geography."1 Such tyranny, Chris Anderson suggests in The Long Tail, made it so fans only had access...

The Music Void (Free subscription) | yesterday
Perhaps this post will get you to think a bit… Chris Anderson, editor at WIRED magazine, wrote an interesting piece about ‘FREE’ being the new business model online: In his article he discusses a couple of models of how the ‘freebie’ makes economic sense today and it might be useful to highlight a few others you [...]

The open source movement began in software development. People hacking code for operating systems and Big Applications started writing the same thing, but for free, and were joined by thousands of others. They were prepared to give their labour without charge to a cause for the common good. That's all rather abstract. In concrete terms it means you can now have everything from operating systems (Linux,...

Sometimes, when you have people listening and nodding their heads in agreement, they may be hearing something very different from what you think you are saying. Chris Anderson's tweeted about the There Is This Company post. Many people who read it see it, as Chris does, as a call to Apple to embrace some flavor of social marketing . After all, it's 30,000-people that doesn't have anyone I could find...

Originally published today, November 19, 2009 in MediaPost's Search Insider. Avinash Kaushik, Google's Analytics Evangelist, will be kicking off the Search Insider Summit in just two weeks. I had the opportunity to chat with Avinash last week about what might be in store. As anyone who has heard him before would agree, it won't be-sugar coated, it will be colorful and it will probably wrench your...

I popped into the TEDxSF conference yesterday at the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park and really enjoyed the presentations. I've never been to the Big TED conference but I've seen many videos and this was just like it. Conference is probably not the right word to describe TEDxSF it is more like attending a series of theatrical performances. And each TED presentation seems to exist within a...

After waking up at 5:00 in the morning for the third night in a row, Tuesday was the first day of the PDC conference itself. As is common for any Microsoft conference, the first keynote is usually a bunch of marketing stuff, and this one was no different. Nevertheless, if you have watched it from the PDC site , you will agree that this whole cloud thing cannot be ignored anymore. I have to make sure...

Silicon Valley logic has seemingly ruled the economy for many years now. The culture of casual clothing, distributed work, and relentless downward pressure on some costs such as some software and of course storage (the "too cheap to meter" phenomena discussed by Chris Anderson in Free) are very familiar to some of us because we work close to or in that culture. But the fact is, many don't...

Back in September, I was asked to watch a Webcast with Wired’s Chris Anderson and tweet my thoughts as I took it in. I had fun, so I was happy when I was asked to serve as a greek chorus for another Webcast hosted by HP. This one’s an interview with George Halvorson, CEO of [...]

The Oil and The Glory (Free subscription) | 11/14/2009
Oil and gas were go-go drivers of the former Soviet economy for years -- until the U.S. subprime catastrophe cut off the flow of easy Western loans. Businesspeople in Russia, Kazakhstan and elsewhere socked away their personal profits and skimmings, while relying on Western loans often coursed through local banks to finance easy loans for investment. To call the resulting real estate bubble huge would...

In mid-August, Amazon changed their product API. They announced the change well in advance, but I didn't allocate a lot of time to fixing my numerous Web services that depended on it. Rather, I simply shut down all the services and even let one website ( HelloSanta.org ) break. Yesterday and today, I took the time to rewrite the HelloSanta website to include the API changes. It took a few hours and...

Harvard Business Review on The Long Tail Anita Elberse of Harvard Business School has completed a new look at consumer data to write a piece entitled Should You Invest in the Long Tail ? Her article seems to be written as a corrective to some of the hoopla around Chris Anderson’s book, The Long Tail . Her article is worth reading but mainly for the quality of her research. The analysis, however, struck
