David Henderson: Web 2.0 has 2 very different audiences, only 1 is scalable (Facebook is the new TV) Just ran across this blog post - if you are into Facebook this is a good read. Link: David Henderson’s Blog � Blog Archive � Web 2.0 has 2 very different audiences, only 1 is scalable. "Facebook is the new TV! Only this medium is social and engaging not passive and linear. Time with media has already dramatically shifted for this generation which foreshadows what is coming - a massive behavioral shift. It happened 12 years ago. .." Gerd says: now there is a thought. I though Myspace was the new TV?

Neuf Cegetel offers Music Flat Rate with UMG tracks - the music flat rate is coming Here is the feature from Marketwatch.com, with some of my comments inserted.

For an additional EUR4.99 monthly fee, subscribers will also have access to unlimited downloads from all nine genres, which comprise 150,000 songs and 3,000 video clips." My comment: again, good thinking but not quite enough yet. A complete, no-friction bundle is what is needed. In media, Friction is now FICTION. "It's clever," said John Davies, an analyst at Dresdner Kleinwort, "it gives you part of...
