Paperless journalism

Here’s Tony Perkins at the start of the Democratization of Media session on day 3 of the Stanford Summit, holding up a piece of paper.

The minekey widget debuts

Here’s my first cut at placing it on the blog. Trying a hack…

Hmmm… not so good in the body. Sidebar… that’s better….

The new news

Stanford journalism prof. Ann Grimes sums up the traditional journalism space as “cutbacks, consolidation and Rupert Murdoch.”  Nevertheless, 51 million Americans still buy a paper daily, and 124 million read one. Discussion then revolved around new forms of packaging and aggregation, trust and the roles of short form and long form journalism. It was also […]

minekey CEO Delip Andra told me that minekey will help users find content they may find desirable by comparing their interests against populations of other users.
minekey algorithms then go to work returning links to relevant content. minekey, which had hoped to launch yesterday, is now shooting for tomorrow: we’re looking forward to it.
Another startup, Adaptive […]

Day 1 at Stanford Summit

We had a great time at AlwaysOn’s Stanford Summit today. The event - which appears to be quite well attended - has a good mix of VCs, funded and yet-to-be-funded entrepreneurs. I was busy in the press room most of mid-morning, and many thanks to Indy Gill at UnWired Nation, Vipin Jain at Retrevo and […]
