We reported yesterday that Newspaper revenue in the United States fell 19.26% for the 3rd quarter of 2008, a record decline off the back of a staggering 30.85% drop in classified advertising.But what do the figures mean? First it’s important to note that the drops aren’t quarter to quarter drops but year on year drops. Tota (Read More)

: @neophile Hmmm, I dunno, I never really got into newspapers & magazines. Hard copy = ick for anything but books (and those only great books...reference books and such should be digital for ease of use, updating, and version tracking.) Literature, poetry, philosophy, the things that one reads for joy rather than utility, I prefer in book form. I don't care for reading for pleasure in ebook form, though I read plenty of other online content for pleasure (perhaps because it is native to the medium it irks me less).

: @thePuck I consider reading a newspaper almost as a ritual...I definitely get most of my news online as well..but those days when I can just grab a paper on a weekend, get away from a computer, and just take time to deliberately read page by page offers a little escape from the normal grind of link surfing...

The New York Times has an extensive story about Facebook Connect and its imminent expansion to new services: Digg, Hulu, Discovery, CBS and several others. However, looking back at the initial announcement of Facebook Connect, there’s really nothing new here; we’ve known the names of these partners from day one, and the sto (Read More)

Today’s the day that Facebook makes their big press push for their Facebook Connect service, which was first announced last May. The NY Times has a story giving a broad overview of Connect as well as competing services from MySpace (Data Availability) and Google (Friend Connect).All three services are platforms for third pa (Read More)

: At the end of the day this is about single sign on (SSO), which is always beneficial. However, the login and password pair should be treated as sacrosanct -- in essence, by some trusted organization whose mandate is at its core to protect core personal data that may travel along with the login/password.Nowhere can anyone demonstrate to me that either MySpace or Facebook have the core mandate to protect user privacy. In fact, their growing business models may actually prove antithetical to the users core privacy, since these social networks (and others) will continue to build revenues around 3rd party organizations that want access to the networks' user base. The secondary elephant-in-the-room issue is that social networks may or may not have robust enough security models to even allow for secured and protected data. Any system that allows a user to create a profile with a pets or kid's name as a password is not, in my mind, a secure enough platform. Since both Facebook and MySpace have been hacked frequently enough over the past year alone, I think this is still cause of concern that tens of millions of people may not be adequately aware of as they post personal contact information and pictures of their children as well as connect with people they think they know but who may be Internet predators. I'm not trying to be the harbinger of gloom and doom here, since I enjoy these and many other social networking platforms. I just think the larger concern with Facebook connect and the like is that people may be making assumptions about how their private data is being protected, when it may not be.

: its not that nobody cares, its that we're fattened by FREE. I saw the movie "Wall-e" with my kids a few months ago. The Earth is utterly destroyed and uninhabitable by humans. The remainder of human life lives on some massive spaceship that resembles a cruise ship. Humans can no longer walk, they are moved around on pods with TVs in front of them and fast food slurpies and burgers always in their hands. They are massively obese and have vacant/vapid looks.Free is hard to beat, and that may be what you're referring to, Saxonchap, when you say nobody cares. I actually think people DO have that sneaking feeling that they're forfeiting something more valuable than money when they use their gmail, google maps, google reader, youtube, google toolbar, google search, picasa, google face recognition, google android, google CHROME, and so forth. All free. All amazing vast arrays of data that never get deleted and are used to fuel the advertising business of an $80 billion company.

: @joebachana For sure, the "free" is a part of it. For many though, and I think this gets worse the younger you move down the age scales, I do believe either ignorance or a care-free attitude plays a huge part. I used to owna couple fo up-scale Internet Cafes in Upstate NY, and to see the usage of patrons, young and old, was quite a revelation!Yes, most are aware of what an ID and password does, but I think so many don't realise the potential implications of lax security. Perhaps web 3.0/4.0 (for want of a use of a buzzword) will address that - I mean, we've already seen the consolidatiosn towards OpenId etc., and yes, I absolutley agreed with your very first sentence - it's basically SSO. But, were all going to be in trouble when we realise that Big Brother and 1984 has really taken over our lives and it's too late for us to do anything about it, right :) 55

: That is the key that we have more primary witnesses to events. First hand history is always better in the long run than secondary and even tertiary sources or channels of information. As someone else mentioned it is brand new reporting territory and it is difficult to fact check tweets as well as there should be some sop's set up for how to use the channels in time of an emergency. So folks make situations potentially worse. Still twitter and Friendfeed are where I turned.

: twitter is a news source like conversations in the street are a news source. there is some value to verification of sources, to gathering information from news sources, to filtering out repetition and to presenting the news in a coherent fashion. these things twitter doesn't do but that is not to say it has no news value. as somewhere to trawl for raw data in the case of a breaking story, it may be valuable.
