Il cardellino democratico!
Esattamente un anno fa, insieme ad un gruppo di ragazzi under 30, ho iniziato un viaggio per i piccoli centri italiani con l'obiettivo di ascoltare le persone su cosa pensavano della politica e del nascente Partito Democratico. E' durato due mesi, lo abbiamo fatto armati di telecamere, videoregistrando i sentimenti del popolo italiano. E' stata un'esperienza straordinaria che ci ha permesso di capire con mesi di anticipo tante cose che poi il voto di aprile scorso ha portato clamorosamente alla luce. E' stata anche una grande esperienza umana fatta insieme a questi ragazzi. Ho deciso di pubblicare pillole del viaggio attraverso piccole clip delle centinaia di ore di registrazione che abbiamo prodotto. Mentre riguardavo le prime cassette mi sono imbattuto in un momento che non conoscevo perchè non ero presente quella sera. Era il 2 giugno 2007, i ragazzi si trovavano in un paese dell'Abruzzo che si chiama Città S. Angelo. Si sono prodotti in un numero davvero divertente che credo sia giusto proporre come "apertura" del racconto di questo straordinario viaggio d'ascolto per l'Italia, anche perchè io sono un fan della goliardia e penso che nel far politica ogni tanto sia giusto pure divertirsi.....

Game-Changer: how the online news revolution is altering the media landscape
by: Arianna Huffington
Media on The Huffington Post
BusinessWeek is updating a cover story it did three years ago on how the impact of blogs is changing the media landscape and asked me to weigh in. Here is what I sent them:
I am frequently asked if the rising influence of online news sources is the death knell for Big Media. My answer is that Big Media isn't dead; it's ill but will actually be saved by the transfusion of passion and immediacy of the blogging and online news revolution.
The growth of New Media journalism has served as a wake-up call. A wake-up call the industry, after years of yawning and repeatedly hitting the snooze button, has finally started to heed. The result will be a journalistic hybrid combining the best aspects of traditional print newspapers with the best of what the Web brings to the table. We're getting a glimpse into this hybrid future with the many changes afoot at Old Media places like the Washington Post and the New York Times, and from New Media players like, well, like the Huffington Post.
We've seen the New York Times recently and enthusiastically embrace the notion of blogging, and the Washington Post has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into its digital operations -- and as a result gone from being a largely local paper with a print circulation of around 650,000 to an international digital news source attracting over 8.5 million online readers a month.
And just as Old Media players are embracing the ways of the New Media, some in the New Media are beginning to perform some of the key functions formerly reserved for the media establishment -- namely breaking major news stories and offering original reporting.
Equally exciting is the fact that technology will continue to give readers more and more control over what kind of information they get, and how that information will be presented. The days of publishing pooh-bahs dictating what is important and what is not are over. And thank goodness. Because the big question has always been: what page will today's real front page story actually appear on? As the legendary journalist I.F. Stone once said of the Washington Post: it's a particularly exciting paper to read because "you never know on what page you will find a page-one story."
The debate that has been dominating journalistic circles for the last few years has been print vs. online -- but, in fact, that discussion is totally obsolete. It's as musty as the old barroom argument about Ginger vs Mary Ann. It's 2008, why not have a three-way? Traditional media have ADD -- they are far too quick to drop a story -- even a good one, so eager are they to move on to the next big thing. Online journalists, meanwhile, tend to have OCD -- we chomp down on a story and stick with it and stick with it and stick with it, refusing to move on until we've gotten down to the marrow.
The shifting dynamic between the forces of print and online reminds me of the relationship between Sarah Conner and the T-101 in the Terminator movies. At first, the visitor from the future (digital) seemed intent on killing Sarah (print). But as the relationship progressed and the sequels unspooled, the Terminator became Sarah and her son's one hope for salvation. Today, you can almost hear digital media (which for some reason has a thick Austrian accent) saying to print: "Come with me if you want to live!"

Hmatt Prima Pagina
Da tempo ricevevamo segnalazioni che gli utenti di youtube erano scontenti della Home Page ,sopratutto per quanto riguarda la versione italiana..
Abbiamo dato voce a questo piccolo disagio..ed è nato un polverone haha aiutati anche dalla messa in onda proprio in Prima Pagina di questo video..
Abbiamo polemizzato con una sorta di satira e con un pizzico di umorismo, le reazioni sono state molteplici ma forse efficaci, dato che dopo un pò di tempo è comparso magicamente su youtube un questionario per migliorare il servizio, con domande inerenti proprio ai video "che vorresti vedere in home page"..forse questo video è servito?? mahh chi può dirlo..sta di fatto che ha fatto nascere una discussione e questo è già qualcosa...
Sottolineo il fatto che utenti i cui video sono stati presi in causa si sono divertiti a vedere questo video.. era una polemica ma con il sorriso, forse la maniera giusta per parlare di un "problema" a volte è quella di farlo con umorismo e crediamo di esserci riusciti...
Come ultima analisi..questo video non è nato come Pod, ci siamo chiesti a lungo se caricarlo, lo abbiamo fatto, speriamo che rientri in tale categoria..

Could Google be flatlining and need life support?
Google is finally discovering gravity. First, the company missed Wall Street revenue forecasts in the fourth quarter for the first time. Then a pair of reports from market researcher comScore , the latest on Mar. 26, said U.S. growth in the number of clicks on the paid ads appearing next to Google's search results essentially flatlined for two months running compared with a year ago. Six months ago, paid clicks were growing up to 40% annually.
Could the tycoon be feeling a bit sick lately? Expect a full recovery or are they in need of some antibiotics!?

The free program, known as YouTube Insight, also could help bands schedule their concerts and help anyone time the release of a new video.
The new tools "give a lot of context around the performance of video over time, where are your audience coming from and how your message is connecting to your audience," Chan said.
