And someone in New York got the same response.
|
|
|
Yep...
|
|
Ooooooooooooh! That annoys me
|
|
|
Bugger!
|
|
|
Ok Jim it tells me...this content is currently unavailable!
|
|
|
But Sheryl, what happens when you try to access a video?
|
|
I used to always watch the coverage but find that the ads are too annoying. Is it the instant information available online that has changed the way I view news?
|
|
with handhelds for spot interviews
|
|
|
They are all likely using a shared feed of HD cameras
|
|
|
I am really missing the coverage from CBC as this is my first time back in the US for Olympics
|
|
If I thought there was somebody with a high quality camera on site that could deliver stuff to me in a timely fashion, then I'd be complaining about NBC. Until then, not so much.
|
|
|
Yes!
|
|
|
so all we have to do is go online and view the Canadian stuff... :)
|
|
|
Canada does a MUCH better job of coverage for the Olympics
|
|
|
NBC paid $800MM for their rights; CBC paid $45mm and in Canada we get 18 hour/day coverage .... live
|
|
Given NBC's huge investment in the Olympics, I don't think we can blame them.
|
|
|
Too much info!
|
|
True, very true...
|
|
bummer...
|
|
|
some people really do just want to be voyeurs
|
|
|
I muted my phone and it hung up on me.
|
|
|
look at how many people, percentages now, who mute themselves
|
|
|
I mean not platform but a social call...
|
|
|
I guess what I am getting at is that we've developed a kind of social platform
|
|
Brilliant
|
|
|
ah that's a GREAT idea frank!
|
|
|
agreed Hudson...
|
|
|
there is a difference between "communication platform" and social network. Calliflower can claim to be the former. It's important to draw the distinction.
|
|
|
I would find that very difficult to follow and what is the reason for all the different social medias anyway? It's to engage a wider variety of friends. If you could get all your friends in one place it would negate the need for the variety of medias anyway

tumblr works as an aggregater
|
|
|
I use netvibes - that's aggregation. I have a personal page that's really loaded up and a public universe with a few tabs. http://www.frankabrams.com (the public one)
|
|
|
Do any of the "aggregation" tools have an economic model? If not, then should we make a committment to them?
|
|
|
I have always taken pictures and sent them immediately to vox and flickr

I agree Brad. That's how they're evolving.

hope to see you here Dan. You've been missed!

A good question for discussion is: how has *your* (each of us) blogging changed over time? I know that I, for instance, write fewer actual "blog posts" but they tend to be longer. Meanwhile I twitter all the time.
|
|
|
Hey, folks... it's been ages since I've joined a call... I'm hoping to join, even briefly, today... although I'm down at SpeechTEK - http://www.speechtek.com/ - in New York, so I don't know my precise schedule yet.

James - they make in excess of $100 million annually on advertising at this point.

The big problem with Facebook is figuring out how to make money out of it! There is no doubt that Facebook is an amazing phenomena - just watching all the 'young' people desperately logging in to see what their friends are up to whilst on a sailing holiday in Turkey last month was testament to this - but without some form of revenue strem, the service cannot continue?
