The new “tablet” era is upon us, offering print media and other organizations the opportunity to let users experience their brand in a completely different way.

Georg Holzer - And there’s one more thing: The tablet levels the playingfield. Now everyone (including me) could do a daily “newspaper” - specialized in one topic.

Think this through as a chance for all the good journalists fired in the newspaper-downturn. An excellent writer in the field of foreign politics could do his/her own daily newspaper on foreign policy. Same for sport, same for technology (my case). Think of 20c each day, think of a newspaper compiled by your favourite writers.

Is top navigation still necessary on news sites?

It’s a good question because so much time is often spent trying to organize and create the top navigation of a site. That time could be better used working on writing better headlines and blurbs that get browsers to click. Would more people click on the LOCAL NEWS link or a headline like YOUR NEIGHBOR’S A TERRORIST. NOW WHAT DO YOU DO? My guess, not backed up by any research, is the latter.

Five predictions about US newspapers Pt 2

Posted in: Business Models, Metrics, Newspapers, Revenue, Technology, Trends, by: John Duncan

If 85% of US newspapers are going to die in two years, who will be the 15% that survive and what sort of operation will they be able to afford? Without newspaper subsidized revenues, which existing titles might survive in a pared down format? And who is best placed to take advantage of the chaos and take control of the American news landscape?

5 Steps to Engaging a Twitter Audience

Posted in: Audience, Social Media, Technology, Trends, by: Mario Garcia

Feb 19, 2009

I started using Twitter in 2006 to feed an insatiable desire for procrastination. It seemed harmless enough and it was more interactive than a Rubik’s Cube so how could it hurt. Since then, like plenty of other addicts, I’ve gone from using it as an occasional diversion to a bona fide communication tool with my friends, colleagues and clients. And like all breakout social networking tools, Twitter is garnering the attention of businesses with things to sell.

Frank Brown - I agree that businesses are interested in using Twitter to promote their products, yet Twitter has not established an advertising platform yet. You would think Twitter would be able to provide relatively efficient targeted advertising via aggregating tweet/profile information...like facebook does. It will be interesting to see how they find a way to make money off of such a popular product.

RankUno - Thanks for the 5 steps, Mario! Adding to #1, Be Realistic about yourself - Let your user name be your brand or company name, place your brand/company logo as the profile image and let your bio give details about your company/brand. I would also more than agree on sticking to your target audience by asking questions to yourself on a regular basis.

“The best gauge at the moment of the impact of the new site is WHO is ‘engaging’ with the site. We have new bloggers who did not previously participate. We have new people uploading reader pictures who did not previously engage with the website. We have people commenting on stories, blogs etc who did not previously interact. We have gone from a limited conversation between the same 10 people to a much bigger conversation with more varied and interesting topics.”
