Kevin: Steve Outing has an excellent list of how to make profits with online news services. There are so many opportunities, and Steve lists some ways to get there. My favourite suggestions: 1) Constantly develop new digital content and services that can attract new advertising dollars. 2) Broaden your definition of 'news' to include micro-personal 3) Hire a social VP.

Kevin: Clay says: "The great misfortune of newspapers in this era is that they were such a good idea for such a long time that people felt the newspaper business model was part of a deep truth about the world, rather than just the way things happened to be."

Kevin: Mark Potts says that journalists, in terms of the internet and their business, are moving to the final stage of grief: Acceptance.

Kevin: The publisher of the Cincinnati Enquirer talks about changes to the newspaper and digital products.

Kevin: An academic study of Twitter published at First Monday. "While the standard definition of a social network embodies the notion of all the people with whom one shares a social relationship, in reality people interact with very few of those “listed” as part of their network. One important reason behind this fact is that attention is the scarce resource in the age of the Web. Users faced with many daily tasks and large number of social links default to interacting with those few that matter and that reciprocate their attention."
