The pace changed.
Choice is growing exponentially.
The niche publisher’s sweet spot.
Publishers are at a crossroads.
How do you stop pushing out contentand start having conversations?
How do you stop shouting?
Traditional digital is running rampant.
Sometimes that works.
It just doesn’t work in a vacuum.
Or a silo.
In digital, experiences rule.
Storytelling is a must.
Creating and enabling fans.
1-to-1.
Right message, right time, right person.
Location agnostic.
Portable.
Widgets are portable, brand gateways.
Time agnostic.
We have to adapt.
End of interruption.
Social media will be the standard.
It’s all personal.
The “me” economy.
15 megabytes is the new 15 minutes.
Reader buzz can be great.
Or really bad.

They don’t call it viral for nothing.
We have to keep our eyes open.
And look below the surface.

Mainstream media catches up.

Some alert friends.
1 hour 42 minutes
Some ask questions.

Some reflect back.
People upload images.
Distributed through widgets.
And through mashups.
There are new worlds to explore.
Adding value should ALWAYS
be the goal.
