What If No One Will Pay For Content?
There’s a damn interesting article over on Publishing 2.0, entitled, “What If No One Will Pay For Content?.” Looking at MySpace, YouTube, the decline of TV advertising, and the rise of blogs, Scott Karp asks, “What if the economics of media in the 21st century begin to look like the economics of poetry in the 20th century? — Lot’s of people do it for their own personal gratification, but nobody makes any money from it.”
interesting article…
i’ve checked out myspace… - it’s a brilliant site if one wants to meet strangers or boost their egos with elementary comments from other people… - so… - the article hit the nail on the head when it mentioned that people only give their attention to others to receive attention… - it’s definitely true in myspace’s case…
i believe that people frequent the fluid imagination to boost their intelligence not their ego…
i don’t mean to sound so cynical about myspace participants… - i’m just going by SOME of the comments i’ve read when i visited… - it’s sort of like - “thanks for add” - “thanks for the add” - “you rock” - “that picture is so hot” - “you’re hot” - “i saw you guys play at the palladium. you rocked!” - “you gotta come to cleveland”…
i am not an expert on myspace so i apologize for being judgmental for i haven’t spent enough time on it to notice its potential positives… - i guess it could be cool for networking - but - i think myspace lacks a professional quality… - advertisements moving across the page making you make george bush punch mike tyson in the face for a free ringtone… - ringtone? - how’s about free ringworm?
maybe…
