  5. Detroit Free Press to trial e-edition on touchscreen device from Plastic Logic. http://bit.ly/4cHLZt
  6. @MashaRatanova Mean that there's a lot of ambiguity with the label "newspaper" and it makes discussion on how to save them more complicated.
  7. @MashaRatanova great question. Highlights the problem with the term "newspaper" which refers to the business and the product.
  8. Providing our cms to a high school newspaper in Wisconsin. Will be interesting to see how they utilize compared to our reporters.
  9. RT @Damiano: blog post on why interaction is our future: http://bit.ly/KwYGY. Great post and slides.
  10. Newspapers need to drastically recreate their presence in the community. They need to become part of the social network.
  11. @SpecialDee Only if the eyeballs are reading the paper (online/print). More of those eyeballs are disappearing to social networks every day.
  12. @mmehlsak How could I not have thought of that! I've added it to his morning tasks. Of course his idea of clean and mine differ.
  13. Teaching my 6 yr old how to make coffee. If he wants me to get up at 7am to play video games he can at least have coffee waiting. Am I evil?
  14. Newspapers should provide the tools to create news to everyone in their community. Schools, local government, chamber of commerce, etc.
  15. RT @techdirt: Local Newspaper Sues Other Local Paper Over 'Stolen' Obituaries http://tinyurl.com/dyuewx
  16. "As of April 1 NPR is cancelling all newspaper subscriptions". Why pay for print when it's free online. http://bit.ly/met1F
  17. http://rentbits.com just launched. Doesn't work in Firefox. Can't believe people still launch IE only sites. Not smart. I won't be back.
  18. One of the biggest things holding back newspapers is their editorial systems. Almost all of them still put print first.
  19. Why do grocery stores still print out receipts? Great business opp there. Especially when you tie-in coupons and advertising.
  20. Everyone says newsrooms need to get up to speed technologically, but it's their advertising departments that are truly clueless.
