FOLIO: article about the situation in b2b media. Here're some excerpts:Beyond the problems of being overleveraged and in debt, many of the larger publishers are based on obsolete operating structures. As traditional print vehicles are replaced by multimedia and strategic services, the economies of the current structures no longer work.“It seems to be that the economics of building a large

Ross Mayfield, CEO of the corporate wiki company SocialText, has a deeply insightful post on how web and open source technologies create more choice inside companies, and how that leads to better decisions.

Here is the short but good quick explanation of the Long Tale concept. Presented originally here by the author of idea Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine.The theory of the Long Tail is that our culture and economy is increasingly shifting away from a focus on a relatively small number of "hits" (mainstream products and markets) at the head of the demand curve and toward a huge

As Chris Anderson writes in his blog devoted to The Long Tale effect (and to the book promoted thereby :-) )Right now the world is focused on stand-alone social networking sites, especially Facebook and MySpace, and the fad of the moment is to take brands and services there, as companies build Facebook apps and MySpace pages in a bid to follow the audience wherever they happen to be.

Mobile networks will provide coverage to 90% of the world's population by 2010, compared with 80% today, despite the misplaced policies of many governments, who continue to subsidize the rollout of fixed-networks, according to a study commissioned by the GSM Association, the global trade association for mobile operators.

Here's a question: why churches 'just don't get it' - i.e. web evangelism.Here is an interesting opinion on this regard. Since it has been taken from the closed forum, I am purposly ommitting the author's name.I don't think the average church in the West is interested in reaching the lost, period. They are more interested in maintaining the institution.The average Western church is said to spend

A very good insight on the subject from the member of IECGlobalForum:God has made us incredibly adaptable at using any means we can to connect with other people whether that is face-to-face contact, MySpace, or even smoke signals. The ministry happens when people connect in healthy relationship and the specific mechanism that enables that connection is secondary. Each mechanism has pros and cons

The MAY 23, 2005 issue of Businessweek features the cover story “Evangelical America”.This is it. For a long time I was expecting with growing concern in my heart that somebody – not necessarily the unbelievers – will start to analyze modern evangelicalism as a sort of business. This raises again at least two questions. First, to which extent the modern marketing technologies should be used (

Years ago I heard a statistic that, at any one moment in time, generally two-percent of any audience is at the point of conversion and ready to receive Jesus. I have found this true in my own evangelistic preaching and recently found that same two percent holds for Billy Graham crusades as well. Now two-percent of the Internet is a LOT of people. That means that on any given day ten million

It is not like a radio station, that anyone can listen in on. Content can be restricted to people with
