Paycasting 
| | "Would you like to pay one dollar for this new show or would you like the one with advertisement in it?" or just even "the download for this podcast will cost 20 ct bandwithcost, would you like to help out"? |
| | I would like to see such choice. I already killed two of my subscriptions to normal magazines and the funds will go to podcasters. |
| | Why not offer refunds to podcasters like through click and buy scenarios? I think, most of us never said "we don't like advertisement", most of us just hate stupid things. Make it clever, make it smart - and people will buy. |

| | A word of advice: if you use Hotwire.com or Priceline.com, be wary of booking condos or rooms with kitchens in areas with large timeshare communities. In addition, find out, first, from the company what its policy is about noting if a property is a timeshare. If the company doesn¹t differentiate timeshares, and allows timeshares in its bookings, you may want to give the service a pass. |
Blogging the 'sphere
| | Bonus Link: Steve Sherlock's Public Listening, Public Reading. Also some very interesting stuff, about levels of engagement with particular blogs. Might help sort out the dead blogs and blog spam, as well as provide other benefits. Read the whole thing. |
No
| | It's framed so wrong. Earth to Times: |
| | You have readers, not "consumers." |
| | You have writing, not "content." |
| | Today's paper is tomorrow's fishwrap. If your paper is worth so much (and it is), and you want to charge for it, how about charging for fresh news, and giving away the stale stuff? Whether you do that or not, at least expose your archives. That way, Google will grant you the authority you've earned and deserved. Yes, you'd be leaving money on the table. But putting old editorial behind a costwall subtracts a value that matters more than money: authority. Exposing those archives will also give you a lot more advertising inventory to sell. |
| | I could go on, but I don't have time. Better to point here. Follow the links. |
Yes
| | Kim Cameron: So just as blogging transforms who is involved in journalism, might it not also transform who is involved in marketing? Here "Searlsist" appears for the first time. (I'm not even sure I'm one of those.) |
Say which?
| | Here the challenge isn't just to say what and say where, but to narrow it down to the exact one. |
