Flashback to 2002: Is U.S. Big Media Still Brainwashing Us? In the last few years many Americans have come to believe that the war in Iraq is wrong.

In this episode John Federico, Steve Hatch and Ken Gellman discuss: Events: Steve may be attending the Web 2.0 Conference in San Francisco in April while John is planning to attend Web 2.0 NY on January 31st to see our friend Craig Calder of Yovia speak on the topic of monetizing social media and word of mouth. Yahoo s continued troubles. The New York Post (always an accurate barometer of happenings in new media. Ahem ) reports that takeover candidates include AOL, AT re not so sure how well the model is working for them... Ken would have commented, but he accidentally muted his mic. Not surprising, digital music sales are up and CD sales are down. The problem? The intensity of growth in digital is not going to supplant the losses in physical retail. Last.fm to offer free music streaming of 3.5 million tracks on-demand. No wating. Unsigned artists will be paid directly by Last.fm and the record companies will share in the advertising revenue. This will be a model to follow. Are you bored with the included 58 songs in Rock Band? You can buy more at $2 each on the Xbox Live Marketplace - costing more than 100% more than a track the iTunes Store or the Amazon MP3 Store. Steve points out that if the music industry were a bit more creative, they could find plenty of additional outlets for packaged music. Who would - who could - who should - buy the New York Times, should the company be in play? Murdoch? Should the government save it? We think not John Ellis thinks it should be Google. John Battelle thinks that it should be Google.org. Steve thinks that a Google/New York Times marriage would be too much of a culture shock for the folks at the Times. John thinks not - the NYT has been making numerous investments including its most recent investment in Automattic. Verizon Wireless announces its first Open Developer Conference, March 19th - 20th WPP invested in Integrated Media Measurement, a company that uses software on cell phones to measure TV and Radio consumption. SO much better than Arbitron s Portable People Meter approach. Of course, neither solution does anything for user generated content as you ll have to pay substantiable dollars to work with either of these companies. Journey (wow. remember Journey?) has found its new lead singer. On YouTube. Don t stop believin Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

In this first episode of 2008, John Federico, Chia-Lin Simmons and Steve Hatch discuss: John attended Jeff Pulver s Social Media Breakfast in New York last week, with Real-Time Social Tagging. Interesting Chia-Lin is planning to attend the Girl Geeks Dinner in San Francisco on January 31st and possibly Lunch 2.0 CES was all about the TV s this year Google and Panasonic have signed a deal that will enable content from Google s services - like YouTube videos and Picasa Photo Albums - to be displayed on Panasonic TV s. There was no mention of the use of Android software in the deal. The Seismic Shift in Online Video: viewers and advertisers are moving online. YouTube traffic is up 8% since the strike began Sony s Clicker (formerly Grouper) has seen a doubling of registered users Chrysler is shifting its advertising budgets to live sports and the Internets - and out of prime time programs. TV writers and producers are going there too: NewTeeVee reports that a group of striking writers who call themselves Virtual Artists are seeking $30 million to produce content for online and digital distribution. Chia-Lin s friend Dylan Otto Krider was nominated as an Amazon Short Story Finalist. Go vote for him here and help him land a book deal with Penguin Publishing. HD-DVD is Dead! And really, so is Blu-Ray thanks to Apple and others. Steve thinks that broadband and online distribution will make the format wars irrelevant. Is he right? Apple has secured downloadable rental rights from all the major movie studios - an uprecendented deal. Did they just sound the death knell for Netflix? Was Netflix s announcement of unlimited online movie viewing an attempt to pre-empt Apple s rental efforts? Engadget has a matrix that helps you determine what you can and cannot do in the Apple movie rental framework based on your hardware and software. Apple also announced the MacBook Air. Chia-Lin nearly drooled on herself while looking at it. John thinks it s an amazing machine but is mildly disappointed in it as he would have preferred a replacement for the 12 Powerbook. Time Warner Cable want to start charging fees based on individual usage for its cable modem customers. Who came up with that bright idea!? We think it will hinder the adoption of new media which may be what the cable company wants, anyway. Jaman.com will be distributing their content to TiVo subscribers. The Economist has released the 2008 Media Industry Forecast (PDF): for the first time ever, the web will outperform radio. That s Huuuuuuge. Steve asks: When will television start to see a decline in the total advertisers dollars flowing into the medium? SAVE SCRABULOUS! Shout out to James Gardiner, a fan from Australia, for his story suggestions and of course, for being a loyal ODM listener. Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.
