The 21st Century Journalist: PR by Day, Reporter by Night?

Napster’s New Plan: Slash Prices, Stream Music, Survive

Napster's choice of a headphone-wearing cat for its logo has turned out to be quite appropriate. The grand-tabby of all digital music services enters its second decade apparently intent on using up every one of a feline's nine lives, with the latest reincarnation coming Monday in the form of a new business model ...

Wolfram|Alpha Launch Sparks Cheers, Curiosity, Confusion

For the past few weeks, the arrival of the new search engine Wolfram|Alpha was hyped as the next stage of search engine technology -- a "Google-killer," a new way to ask the Internet a direct question. So naturally, a few enterprising technology writers and bloggers wanted answers to some very specific queries when the Web site finally went live over the weekend...

Xerox Goes for the Green With Crayon-Like Printer Ink

The "razors and razor blade" analogy is always the first to be employed when analysts -- or technology reporters -- begin their discussions of the copier/printer business. If you're HP or Xerox, you sell the machine once, but you really make your money supplying customers with ink cartridges, toner and other supplies during the life of that machine...

Still Hunting for the Perfect E-Reader

They are either the silicon-drenched saviors of books, newspapers and magazines, or yet one more reason for deep-pocketed early technology adopters to spend money ...

My Dream TV News Job: Broadcast Meets the Web

Someone has made a tragic mistake and handed me the keys to a major TV station group. I've been told I can take it for a spin, provided my buddies and I don't trash the leather seats. I have to make sure it's got plenty of gas when I bring it back -- dent-free, or it's my ass. ...

Twitter Search Leaves the Nest for Linked Pages

Those who are looking for Twitter to finally hit a revenue-generating home run may have to settle for a series of singles and line-drives instead. The microblogging service keeps rolling out new features that may eventually add up to a business model -- the latest examples being the ability to search Web pages through links embedded in tweets, and to rank results based on reputation...

STARTUP TO WATCH

Diving Into the Online Ad Network Spaghetti

The report came out right before the economy nose-dived, before ad revenues started to shrink, before even online display advertising started feeling the recession's pinch. A February 2007 report from the Audit Bureau of Circulations -- the keepers of media buying/selling trends and standards for publishers and advertisers -- highlighted the opportunities and the challenges for the then-still-hot online advertising space...

EU Commissioner Urges US to Cut ICANN’s Umbilical Cord

The Internet is an American invention, and the governing body that assigns domain names to Web sites around the world has had its roots in the U.S. (California, no less.) However, it's time for ICANN -- the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers -- to go "global" in every sense of the word, according to one European Union commissioner ...

Is Sony Whipping Up a Wii Wannabe?

In the month before each year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the rumors about gaming company plans usually start flying faster than zombie body parts in "Resident Evil 5." Buzz about the upcoming 2009 show ratcheted up on Thursday with a report in Variety that Sony may be getting ready to show off a motion-sensing PlayStation 3 controller at the big video game convention in June in Los Angeles...

Flu-Coverage Fever: A Web-Borne Virus

By now, you know the best ways to protect yourself: Wash your hands, manage your stress, avoid contamination. Wearing a mask is optional, but it couldn't hurt. However, if by chance you are exposed to an infectious swine-flu-related headline or story on cable news or the Internet, stay in your home and contact the proper authorities ...

Whither Wikis? The State of Collaborative Web Publishing

A long time ago -- meaning, of course, three or four years in Internet time -- wikis came to represent the best of the true democratic, user-generated nature of the Web. The collaborative writing/editing of a wiki meant that all voices could be heard, but majority rule would prevail. ...

Amazon Widens E-Book Channel With Lexcycle Buy

Pulitzers, Broadcasters and Digital Denial

Journalism has a glass jaw these days, threatening to shatter into a million pieces with the next right hook that lands courtesy of another layoff, another closing of a daily newspaper, another inane, biased utterance from a cable news host. But journalism could have landed its own body blows this week by showing it can handle the jump to hyperspace and the digital future...
