  1. New London freesheet to launch. Full media pack, mystery backers, familiar logo?! http://bit.ly/7GBc6J (I'm not 100% this isn’t a spoof?!)
  2. Johnson Press paywall experiment is £5 for 3 mths sub - thats 40p a week. Would love to know it there’s any science behind that figure
  3. Will it be easier for regionals than nationals to charge online because content is more niche? We’re about to find out http://bit.ly/8D9w0m
  4. "Prob the 1st big retailer to be killed off by the web"? http://bit.ly/7qPqA5 The end for Borders' “big box” “Friends generation” approach
  5. The future of TV? http://bit.ly/2QsqtW the BBC/ITV/BTs Project Canvas, a potential open IPTV standard (subject to BBCTrust approval)
  6. I get irritated by 1sided polemic on publishers’ web plans. Issue & alts deserve more debate than mud-slinging about dead trees & dinosaurs.
  7. Theres some crashingly naïve articles out there on the Google-NewsCorp debate& publisher struggles to monetise the web: http://bit.ly/8fjR28
  8. The London Evening Standard is to drop its 9am print run & focus on the 2pm West End Final - so no more noon paper, Londoners!
  9. NRS just out. I’m betting on ‘Metro benefits from death throes of London freesheet market’ as the main trade press line. Watch this space
  10. Intelligent analysis of why Obama looks less commanding than 10 mths ago: http://bit.ly/7hAU1j The vulnerability of C21st web-based politics
  11. And I thought nothing could be kept secret anymore! How about a £61.6bn secret from the Bank of England? http://bit.ly/7c06Td
  12. The BlogPaper, a freesheet launched last week: http://bit.ly/6I8Xnw (It’s funny how people still like to see their work in print!)
  13. The future is “crowd filtering” not crowd sourcing (Dr Kate Blackmon, Oxford). We have info streams; now how best to use them?
  14. “A pivotal moment in internet economics”? Gapper on logic of Murdochs potential exclusive indexing deal: http://bit.ly/6kUuGg
  15. RT @BrandRepublic Fears for Borders UK grows as retailer freezes online book orders http://tinyurl.com/yzrwb3w... this Christmas's Woolies?
  16. Use of social media to engage voters, crowdsourcing & ranking ideas for solving budget crisis (Santa Cruz city gov): http://bit.ly/6eYrUB
  17. BBC to focus on SEO http://bit.ly/43mbk3 But the headline of their announcement article… hardly practice what you preach is it?!
  18. Rumour continues on SA athlete Caster Semenya after IAAF decision deferred. Just stick to the official line this time: http://bit.ly/1O2Qa0
  19. Yesterday I posted about crowdsourcing in journalism; today crowdsourcing in philanthropy: http://is.gd/4ZDlZ (via @kirstinbutler)
  20. UK weather makes grim reading. Heavy rain in London, but can’t complain: at least I can’t swim out of my bedroom window. Poor Cumbrians.
