  • Some links for the City students

    I had an enjoyable session with Chris Brauer’s City University students earlier today, and promised them links on some of the things I was talking about. Here they are – they won’t make a bunch of sense to people who were not there, but may still be of interest…

    • Demand Media – selling working for a content factory as a lifestyle choice…
    • Wired — The Answer Factory: Demand Media and the Fast, Disposable, and Profitable as Hell Media Model. Good overview of Demand Media from Wired magazine.
    • WSJ.com — Insurgents Hack U.S. Drones – the huge hit story I was talking about.
    • That Facebook vs Google News research from Hitwise, in full.
    • The Source – europe.wsj.com’s blog, which aims to get breaking analysis on the site within hours of the story breaking.

    • Charlie Beckett — Haiti: when the nets leave the Net takes over
      Good post from Charlie on how mainstream media works, and the opportunity for emerging media to adopt an important role. "Mainstream news can’t headline the most important or most deserving issue in the world every day. Otherwise the top story would always be Global Warming. So don’t get too pious or upset if new stories get to the top of the agenda."

    • Restaurants Use Menu Psychology to Entice Diners – NYTimes.com
      "Chicken liver is what the restaurateur Danny Meyer calls a torpedo. Left to its own devices, it may be unappetizing and unpopular, but when paired with what he calls an enhancer — applewood smoked bacon in the case of the chicken liver on the menu at Tabla, Mr. Meyer’s Indian fusion restaurant in the Flatiron District — it not only excites the taste buds but goes to work on the mind."

    • The Economist: Newspapers and technology: Network effects
      The Economist's attempt to draw parallels between what's happening to the news industry today and what happened to it when the telegraph was invented is a little obvious – especially if you've read Tom Standage's excellent book The Victorian Internet – and perhaps just a tad glib. Still, worth a read.

    • Sacked at 40 and on the scrapheap. Now Brummie tops US book charts | Books | The Observer
      Fired from his job at Granada Television at the age of 40, Lee Child was suddenly on the scrapheap with a family to support. Refusing to panic, he spent £3.99 on paper and pencils with the ambition of writing the biggest-selling book in the world's biggest market: America.
