"The first major Web trend we're looking at is Structured Data. In prior presentations, this has sometimes been referred to under the umbrella term of 'Semantic Web'. However the way 2009 has panned out so far, it's become clear that this trend is much more than the Semantic Web. In this post, we'll analyze the developments in Structured Data this year and provide you with 3 product examples: OpenCalais, Google, Wolfram Alpha."

"after the Web site put up a pay wall for nearly all its content, readers would brave driving rainstorms to go out and buy the newspaper. Since then, newsstand sales of the Newport Daily News have jumped by 200 copies a day. For a paper with a daily circulation of 13,000, that's a significant gain, especially since, in an era in which most papers are seeing steep declines in readership, even holding steady is a success; an increase is a triumph."
-
"It’s great that among all of the RSS feeds, Google News arrays and e-mail alerts, we all can reside at the white hot nexus of news, but every once in a while when you are looking for diversions or informational enhancement, it would be nice to jack into something a little less of-the-moment and a little more nutritious."

"Here's a basic point to register. The average New York Times print reader spends roughly as long with his paper a day as the average NYT net user spends online in a month. And the revenue side is similarly unbalanced."

"For what seems like many years I was a lonely voice in the wilderness, whispering at first 'River of News' then speaking more loudly and finally shouting from the rooftops, but people wouldn't listen. Developers patterned their 'news readers' after email programs. Each feed was a box, and like a mail program it would tell you how many unread messages there were. 'This is wrong!' I would say — RSS is not mail."

"As more newspapers kick around the idea of charging for content, much of the attention has been focused on the pay models employed by the bigger players like the WSJ and the Financial Times.

"If monetising news websites is a war, it looks like the big publishers are about to send in the ground troops… what do other digital thought leaders think? Here’s a round-up…"
-
"While News Corp. execs have been a tad shy with actual details, using WSJ.com as a model suggests we’re not talking about the pay fortress so many people immediately started to visualize. WSJ.com is a hybrid model of subscription and ad-support, with more content available for “free” under News Corp. then when it was owned by Dow Jones. (Chris Anderson prefers to call it “freemium” but then his goal is to sell books by coining cool terms.)"
-
"Stung by a collapse in advertising revenue as the recession shredded Fleet Street's traditional business model, Murdoch declared that the era of a free-for-all in online news was over. 'Quality journalism is not cheap,' said Murdoch. 'The digital revolution has opened many new and inexpensive distribution channels but it has not made content free. We intend to charge for all our news websites'."

-
"an even bigger battle is brewing over what chief executive Eric Schmidt has called “the next big one”: the $23bn a year market for online display ads. The immediate target is “remnant ads” – the space that online publishers cannot sell directly to premium advertisers. This at present accounts for 90 per cent of all display ads on the web, but only a fifth of sales."
-
"Global spending on Internet advertising declined for the second consecutive quarter, by 5 percent, to $13.9 billion from $14.7 billion in the same quarter a year ago, according to a new report from IDC."

"So in case it's of use to others who are thinking of doing the same, I've turned BIS's Twitter strategy into a generic template Twitter strategy for government Departments."

"Guidelines suggest tweets should be frequent, timely and credible… Even its author admits that a 20-page strategy paper for government departments on how to use Twitter might be regarded as "a bit of over the top" for a microblogging tool with a limit of 140 characters a message."

"Attributor wants to take some of the ad money that would have been paid to the pirate site and give it to the copyright owner instead. To do that it needs the cooperation of big advertising networks like those run by Google and Yahoo. "

"News organisations frustrated by websites copying and pasting their articles on to their own pages may take heart from an innovative new site called Attributor. It seeks to recoup a portion of the advertising revenue enjoyed by sites that "borrow" copyrighted content from its originators."

"There's a lot of discussion out there about how online content should be monetized. "
-
"At the end of June, ad rates among the 6,000 Web publishers working with ad-optimizing firm PubMatic were up 35% since a low point at the beginning of the year. Rates climbed 15% between May and June."
-
"So we’ve been a bit surprised at how few are experimenting with e-commerce, which is frequently held up as a strong potential revenue stream for online news. Sure, we’ve heard from a few sites making good money from t-shirt sales and affiliate programs. But American publishers should heed the experience of the Telegraph in the UK, which started launching a series of e-commerce efforts in 2008. "

"This Interim Management Statement (‘IMS’) covers the third quarter of DMGT’s financial year to 30th June 2009 and describes the Group’s financial position and performance during the period, updated to the latest practicable date."

"This list is derived directly from the responses I received via Twitter, Facebook, IM and email from 13 different developers. With that, here's a list of ways developers can optimize their site for highest impact, with the lowest amount of effort, from their perspectives."
-
"I agree that simply adding a comment thread at the end of a news story is a recipe for trouble. But it is only a recipe for trouble if that is as far as you go. An unattended comment thread will be full of garbage and many are. But if the author of the news story, or opinion piece, or blog post, tends to the comments, replies to the good ones, signals the bad ones, chastises the loudmouth bullies, and generally runs the comment threads like a serious discussion group, a serious discussion will result."
-
"Basically the new API is designed to give developers full access to PayPal’s features, allowing them a lot more freedom in building applications which include the ability to accept and distribute payments."
-
'The “microformat” puts content in content in a “wrapper” that includes a digital permissions framework “that lets publishers specify how their content is to be used online and which also supplies the critical information needed to track and monitor its usage". The registry will provide metrics on content consumption, payment services and enforcement support.'
-
"But watch out, Facebook. As a means of sharing content, Twitter is already about half as popular with only about one-tenth as many users. This matters because content-sharers are the human crawlers that power both Facebook and Twitter's real-time search engines–which could turn out to be the way both startups end up making big money."
-
"Today we proudly announce the availability of self-service advertising on The Local. Our easy-to-use (we hope!) system lets you design an ad — or upload one you’ve already designed — tell us how much you want to spend reaching The Local’s incredibly desirable audience (you’re here, right?), give us your credit card and, poof! see your ad in that nice big square position near the top of our right-hand column."
-
"The NYTimes.com has opened up a self-serve ad system for businesses who want to advertise on its hyperlocal sites. The Local, which consists of citizen-j blogs focusing on five neighborhoods in New Jersey and Brooklyn, will charge $5 CPMs for the ads. In a post on The Local (via Nieman Lab), Jim Schachter, the NYT’s editor for digital initiatives, writes 'that’s just this side of free'."
-
"If the Times and/or Post were to erect a pay wall, I see things playing out as follows: they lose most of their readers; ad revenue declines accordingly; the revenue they make from readers who do pay won’t even make up for the lost ad revenue; and so by switching from free to paid access they’d actually sink further into the red."
-
"Most readers won’t pay for news, but if we move quickly, maybe enough of them will. One man’s bold blueprint."
-
"Needless to say, traditional news organizations continue to play a critical part in keeping the public informed. But can they adapt to the rapidly changing news environment? And who is going to pay for quality news and information in the future?"
-
"Modern copyright has been influenced by an array of older legal rights that have been recognised throughout history, whose legacy development may be harming our future."
-
"Mirror Group Digital jumped ahead of independent.co.uk in June with an 8.6% month-on-month increase in unique users to 9,442,900. This was aa year-on-year increase of 74%. UK unique users, at 4,907,540, accounted for 52% of the total – the highest percentage of UK users."
-
"new browsers like Apple's Safari, Google's Chrome and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 de-emphasize the entire home-page concept in favor of dynamic new-window or new-tab pages that present shortcuts to the sites you visit most often or have visited most recently. By default, Chrome and Safari's toolbars don't even feature a home-page button."
-
“The front page is still a front page; there’s still six stories there, and they are what they are,” Mr. Landman told The Observer. “They occupy the same positions that they always have. If they are influential or not influential, it’s for the same reasons, right?”
-
"Details about the New York Times' plans to charge readers of its Web site for access are trickling out. In a conference call to discuss earnings today, CEO Janet Robinson described two possible payment scenarios — a 'meter model' or a 'Times club membership'."
-
"This combines the technical skills the new journalist will need (plus the old ones), new ways of collaborating with audiences and journalists across the globe; and most importantly an entrepreneurial edge to create an army of “creative entrepreneurs”."

It would create a digital platform for Time Inc., the biggest, most-prestigious magazine group in the world. Needless to say, that didn't pan out, and here's where it gets ironic.
