One of the really big differences between print and digital publishing is the lifespan of an article. In print, the lifespan is roughly one day - or the time it takes to read it.

I'm currently writing the first part of my next book called "The Shift. From Print, to digital, and beyond." The first chapter is called "2012 - the end" (working headline). No, I'm not a religious crackpot - I do not believe that the world is really going end. But I do believe that "the world as we know it" is going to end - and 2012 is the pivotal point of when that is going to happen.

Conde Nast's Scott Dadich on reinventing mags for the iPad: http://t.co/VQ0YN5p - This has print mentality written all over it! My response: Competing with Flipboard? Come one! (by baekdal)#publishing: http://bit.ly/qlpjPh

It was a brilliant idea back when the only other way to go online was to sit down behind our desktop computer. If we could just bring that into our kitchen then we could look up recipes directly online, we could watch TV, and we might even be able to talk with people while we were cooking.

More to the point, everything you do to protect the old way, after it is "dead", is going to be defensive. You are trying to prevent people from changing - and that is a terrible business strategy. You need to accept the shift and look at the old market as a niche for traditionalist. The people who do not *want* to change.

Google Inc. in preliminary talks to buy Hulu: http://j.mp/mRpG4K - Uh oh... Will TV execs want Google in control? No...

Most Danish newspapers simply copy/pasted the 250 words and added a random picture from an image bank. I have yet to find even one newspaper who actually asked the most critical question any newspaper can ask: "Is this true?" The newspapers have lowered themselves to the level of 15-year-old bloggers who just copy/paste content that they find online.

How many links do we read? Well, try this. Go into your browser's history and count all the links you have clicked on and read for, say, the past 4 hours. In my case, it amounted to 27 articles (out of 167 links) - or roughly 9,700 words. In comparison, Seth Godin's book "The Purple Cow" is about 28,000 words.

To Techcrunch saying that Twitter refers more people than Twitter: Don't Trust Your Social Referral Data: http://bit.ly/h1Yvfb - But Twitter referral is hugely inaccurate. Here is why Don't Trust Your Social Referral Data: http://bit.ly/h1Yvfb

But that leads us to the second problem. In almost every case, mobile payment systems are pointless. There is very little difference between buying something with your credit card, and buying something with your smartphone. You still have to take it out of your pocket. You still have to put it in front of something on the counter. You still have to click some buttons.
