Jeff Jarvis‘ New Business Models for News Summit is going on now, live. Wish I were there.
Samir Arora is on now. I haven’t seen Samir in years. Still, I’ve followed him, and he’s always smart and provocative and has a great nose for business opportunities. For the last few he’s been CEO of Glam.com. At the moment he’s giving proper criticism to the “distribution model,” but also talking about a buncha stuff that’s related to advertising. That’s still supply-side stuff, so I tend to tune out. I’m about the demand side these days.
Now Tom Evslin is up. Another friend, biz veteran and smart guy. Listen in.
While you do, read Dave, who has some great ideas about how to embrace and enable amateurs as essential contributors.
Also check out ProjectVRM, where we’ve had a community that’s been (mostly quietly) working on new models for the last two years, and are making headway. More here.
