There is actually a lot of truth to this flow-chart. I still have not fully embraced Google+ as Im not sure it is really that embraceable I DO like the hangout feature- but aside from that I am not convinced Google has built a better mousetrap.
Good Copy Bad Copy
This is an older "copyleft" video that came out of Denmark in 2007. As it is new to me, I am going to share it with you now. It is very interesting and a unique perspective on the other side of the copyright argument. Including some very interesting speculation on ways to monetize music "in the future" that are being actualized now. Interesting.
The Future of Digital (via Business Insider)
This fascinating slide deck was sent over to me by my colleague Marc Krejci (follow him- seriously).
Some very good insights about where we came from and where we appear to be going. Notable takeaways: Digital is now 20 years old!, Growth in the US smartphone market is waining, while Asia is exploding, Digital content revenue is through the roof (Glen Beck TV earned over 12 Million in 2011 <throws up in mouth>), Google is outpacing all Newspaper and Ad revenue, Digital will dominate media in a 4 (or 5) screen world.
Some nice quotes in this as well.
"As habits change... the money follows"
"Google is like advertising at a store. Facebook is like advertising at a party" (ouch)
