Google Flu Trends? Cool. But What Else Can Google Predict?

As a service to real readers, Media Guy fields imaginary questions about the media landscape from nonexistent readers. He does this every few months in deference to his very busy actual readers -- saving them the trouble of writing in with questions they simply don't have time to ask. Herewith, the latest batch of NSFAQ (not-so-frequently-asked questions).

Blogonomics: The End of Micropublishing?

I don't fully understand Nick Denton's decision to fold Valleywag into Gawker. Gawker's readers don't care about Silicon Valley gossip, and Valleywag's readers don't care who was spotted having lunch at Michael's yesterday. What's more, Gawker's clearly having difficulty selling out its inventory already -- hence the end of pay-per-pageview. So readers won't benefit, and although Gawker.com will get a traffic boost from this, it's not going to be easy to monetize that.

Rethinking blogs as a medium for ads

Blogs have been popular for a long time, but blog advertising has not. Early on, advertisers were wary of associating themselves with the sometimes-inflammatory content of the new media form, and even two years ago blog advertising made up a meager 2 percent share of online revenue. New research, however, suggests that marketers who take a pass on blogs may be missing a good way to sell their products. JupiterResearch, conducting a study for ad network BuzzLogic, found that half of blog readers say they find blogs useful for purchase information, and more frequent blog readers trust them more than social networking sites for influencing purchase decisions. Fifty-two percent say blogs played a role in the critical moment they decided to move forward with a purchase, and half of frequent blog readers have taken action after viewing an ad on

Tracient's Handheld RFID Readers Provide RFID Capability To Blackberry PDAs

[Editors Weblog] The future of e-readers Part 1: The technology bottleneck

The average editor will follow the news about emerging electronic displays with amazement: the promises are mind-boggling, yet the practices so far rather poor. Will e-readers really be the saviours of the trade and if so, how come it is taking so long before a standard solution comes to market? To a large extent, the answer lies in the craving for effective breakthroughs of a beleaguered industry, much more than in the technology itself. Producing the versatile, flexible, crystal clear electronic reading pane is a formidable technological challenge. Several hardware producers are achieving promising results, but what they have launched up until now are at best pilot devices to test the principles and explore the market. However, the learning curve is steep and in a few years time the assessment will be much more positive.
