In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Craig Calder (twitter: @ccalder), Ken Gellman (twitter: @kengellman) and Steve Hatch (twitter:@shatch) opine about: Craig was featured in articles on Forbes.com and AdAge.com representing TravelZoo Craig s team at TravelZoo won the SAMMY Award (MediaPost s Social Media Award) for The Top Branded Twitter Campaign beating out MadMen and M s a good thing. jf.) Breaking News! Twitter has new avatars! Twitter will add geo-location as a built-in feature. Don t worry, it will be opt-in. John is using a combination of BrightKite, FourSquare and GoWalla for location-based status updates. Twitter doesn t want to have to deal with subpeonas - after 14 days, the location metadata associated with your tweets is expunged. Project Retweet is an effort to redesign the user experience of retweets - this time, officially by twitter as opposed to the community. Tweetie already supports the Project Retweet API extensions John has decided to add video to the mix during ODM recording sessions. They ll be posted in the show notes on occassion. Steve equates the retweet with FriendFeed s and Facebook s Like feature and that it will ultimately morph into the same nomenclature and user experience. Craig believes that retweet etiquette requires the retweeter to add value in some way to the retweet. (The value IS the retweet! It s retweet-worthy! ) Mashable asks if people are ready for the features of Project Retweet. Justine Bateman wasn t as the change caused some confusion until she realized what was going on - and she s Twitter-savvy. What about people who aren t? Apparently her BlackBerry Twitter client (UberTwitter) already supports the Project Retweet API extensions as well. Justin Timberlake has signed on to appear in the movie The Accidental Billionaire based on the book of the same name. 27% of people access twitter through dedicated applications. How could a company like comScore track that? Do they track API calls? Do people in their panel note the fact that they use Twitter apps? Craig will ask and report back. Twitter just raised $100 million to support the build-out of all these service updates - at an approximate $1 billion valuation! Jason Fried s Satirical post about the 37Signals $100 Billion valuation pokes fun at Twitter s recent funding and valuation Where s our Audible sponsorship, damnit?! Jonathan? Are you listening? Livestream launches Livepack - the world s first solution for wireless live streaming at HD quality Craig rediscovers TweetDeck and loves it. A random tweet of his was included in an IgniteNYC presentation. (With attribution, of course.) John wil be speaking at Web2Open at the Web 2.0 Expo New York on Social Media Hacks Craig shares a Social Media Hack that will make its way into my presentation! Send any social media hacks, tips or tricks you have to comments@odmcast.com Google Sidewiki was released for FireFox and IE browsers - it s a distributed commenting/social discussion system Remember ThirdVoice? It was the original distributing commenting system that was launched - and died - during the dotcom boom. Danny Sullivan used Sidewiki in a unique way (http://bit.ly/3bbzUY), commenting on Seth Godin s post about Squidoo s Brands in Place service. Not sure why people were so ruffled by Brands in Place. In a way, it s not much different than allowing anyone to create a space on GetSatisfaction.com. Google introduces Google Frame for IE Browsers, bringing the standards compliant Webkit rendering engine to Internet Explorer - and a 10x increase in speed. Surprise! Microsoft doesn t like it. We hope it will push Microsoft to make IE much better than it is currently. Mike Abundo from 901am writes about The Delusions of Carol Bartz. Comparing Yahoo s decline with AOL s decline. Yahoo is selling off Yahoo Small Business AOL s decline was hastened by the rise of broadband. Yahoo s decline was hastened by lack of focus and competing services. Looking for a new gig? You can probably make a difference at Yahoo or AOL - and they re hiring. iRex announced the DR800SG with global 3G downloads and partnerships with Barnes t! Only a small fraction said they would pay 2 cents per article. OneForty.com is an app store for Twitter. Congratulations to Laura Fitton (@pistachio) Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Chia-Lin Simmons (twitter: @zeropts), Ken Gellman (twitter: @kengellman) and Craig Calder (twitter:@ccalder) discuss their predictions for 2009. Topics include: Craig is going to the PhocusWright Conference November 17th through the 19th Ken is now living in the Boston area and looking for a new gig WSJ is going to start charging for mobile access to subscription content. There will be discounts for current subscribers. Do the math: based on current pricing, the WSJ iPhone app is just as valuable as the print subscription. Is this the beginning of the age of a Platform-agnostic news organization The newspaper industry has been in decline for 50 years. They just didn t know it. 24% of newspapers are ignoring the digital channel for distributing content Business Week had 93 suitors at one point - only half are still interested in purchasing the publication. The brand means nothing if the business is dying. The Kindle version of Dan Brown s new book The Lost Symbol is outselling the hardcover on Amazon Every president in American history has been a Mason except for one: John F. Kennedy. The Book is dead. Long live the Book. The printed book is not dead. The book publishing business as we know it is dead. (or dying) Google bough ReCaptcha as a tool for helping digitize books Google will make many of the books that it has scanned as part of its Google Books initiative via print-on-demand Smashing Pumpkins will be distributing their new album in its entirety for free. If you want, you can buy one of the 11 collectors editions. That works for major acts, but what about the thousands of other musicians and performers? Check out JamsBio.com The artists took over merch, ClearChannel and others took over the venues. All that s left are the CD s and lawsuits. ASCAP and BMI want royalties for the 30-second samples on iTunes and other downloadable musi retailers. The music industry wants to get paid for that extra one second beyond the 29-second fair use doctrine. Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

This podcast (get it here) presents the thoughts of Scott Sigler media maven, NY Times Bestselling Author of INFECTED and CONTAGIOUS (both available free as podcasts), podiobook dynamo, and social networking mastermind on none other than  how will people read books in the near future? In this repodcast of his keynote speech at this year s Balticon conference, Scott talks about how he built a HUGE online fan base for his fiction, landed a major publishing deal with Crown Books, reached NY Times bestseller status, and why he insists that giving his fiction away for free is the best marketing around. He presents his thoughts on Big Publishing, small publishing, smart-phones vs. the Kindle, and perhaps most importantly, lays out the methods by which he pre-sold 1,500 copies of his new, self-published novel THE ROOKIE this April via his own website, scottsigler.com. That s right: Forget print-on-demand and its higher cost-per-book. Scott breaks down how he pre-sold enough books to pay for an entire print run before THE ROOKIE ever went to press! It s a model so far ahead of everyone else that we ve got to take notes! If you re a writer or aspiring author, you need to listen to this. And don t let the intro scare you off.

The screen works using ink, just like books and newspapers, but displays the ink particles electronically. It reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, eliminating the glare associated with other electronic displays. If you are out of wireless coverage, such as traveling overseas, you can download books to your computer from Your Media Library and transfer via USB to your Amazon Kindle.

Bozeman, Montana asks job applicants for their social networking profiles, passwords, then rethinks practice. If you re an employee of the The Associate Press, you ve been promoted to Editor - of what your friends post to your social networking profiles, that is. Are Upload Speeds the new Broadband Selling Point? Kris thinks that Cloud Computing is driving some of the need for faster upload speeds. The iPhone 3GS has the ability to capture 720p HD video, but it doesn t. Why not? Amazon puts a cap on how often certain Kindle books can be downloaded. Maybe that will be circumvented by some creative hackers as Amazon just released the source code for each of the Kindle devices. Analysts are convinced that the average price of a Kindle ebook will increase on Amazon.com. Ken wants to know: Exactly how big is the Kindle business? Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.
