SEARCH ANY STORY YOU HEAR ON THE PODCAST More Info on Screencasts Online Broadcasters Circle the Wagons by Andrew McCaskey The Coming Wireless Avalanche Broadcasters are starting to circle the wagons. And this time there are more Indians attacking than ever. The CTIA The Wireless Association, and the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)CTIA predicts that mobile data usage could grow by 66 times between what it was last year and 2013. BY 2015, a single smartphone users data consumption could be 450 times the amount of data consumed in 2005. The FCC predicts total wireless consumption could grow from six petabytes a month last year to 400 by 2013—a petabyte being a thousand terrabytes. In the late 1980 s I remember a conversation with a broadcaster who was seriously suggesting that since 80% of his viewers were on cable, how they could justify the antenna, transmitter, tower and operating expense for the remaining 20%. Even then, he joked if the tower blew down his business results would improve once he cashed the insurance check, as long as he did not have to rebuild and had 80% of his business the profitable part left over. Broadcasters will be fighting every step of the way, but it s a losing battle. And smart broadcasters are or should be moving as fast as they can to figure out what their online presence and strategy might be.

SEARCH ANY STORY YOU HEAR ON THE PODCAST More Info on Screencasts Online Google Discovers Tom Sawyer by Andrew McCaskey Crowdsourcing is all the rage and Google does it in a reverse Mechanical Turk right out of Tom Sawyer. Mechanical Turk is the Amazon system where people are paid a few fractions of a cent to look at a browser and decide if a page contains automobiles or boats, then hit the button. Today s newly announced Building Maker as a cross between Google Maps and a gigantic bin of building blocks. Basically, you pick a building and construct a model of it using aerial photos and simple 3D shapes – provided by Google. . When you re done, Google takes a look at your model. If it looks right, and if a better model doesn t already exist, we add it to the 3D Buildings layer in Google Earth. You can make a whole building in a few minutes. It s work disguised as a game and as a break for a minute or two, I expect that Google is going to be pretty successful in getting the cooperation and participation of hundreds of thousands worldwide. The only thing that would improve it ? a Leaderboard with the square footage drawn. That would get the biggest buildings quickly built out. Then, harness a team approach of square footage versus number of buildings, to provide weighting favoring the smaller structures. It s a notch above Windows Solitare, and would include bragging rights at no charge. Contact Us Google Building Maker Watch Today s Video Episode Be sure to check out GoToMeeting. Why?

Dr. Alexander Bandar is a theoretical metallurgist. He started the Columbus Idea Foundry, a workshop for folks who would like to learn how fashion something from metal, wood, or other raw materials, or for folks who know how to do this and need facilities in which to practice their craft.Bandar says, "If you get a good idea, propagate it. We all stand on the shoulders of giants--those who came before us who propagated their ideas."A problem that Bandar sees is that the means of production, as well as the knowledge, are possesed by a very small group of people. "If we divorce the means of productivity from a few, and allow the masses to produce, as well," then society as a whole will advance even quicker and knowledge will be more widespread.He founded The Columbus Idea Foundry with two goals in mind: create a community workshop to teach and learn, and document the process so that others could repeat it in other cities. His target audience is just about everyone: Do-It-Yourselfers, fabricators, entrepreneurs, and students alike. Membership is open to both individuals and companies.The Columbus Idea Foundry has already partnered with a few companies and received contract work, including the fabrication and installation of a life-size replica of Samuel L. Jackson for a Columbus-residing NBA star.Bandar declares the Columbus Idea Foundry a success and continues to improve it. The workshop is not only educational, but also profitable--he's nearly in the black on his investment in it.
