      Flu News
      I will spare you most of the Swine flu coverage, which is major media wall to wall – other than to note that Gizmodo cites a Googlemaps mashup that tracks things more or less in real time.

      Of course, heading towards a trade show learning conference under such circumstances may be cause to hesitate – but in the partial spirit of hurricane parties, I just decided to make the SDRNewsroom booth Flu Headquarters. I went to the local CVS and bought up three large dispensers of sanitizer and figure that at least momentarily we will have one of the most popular exhibits in Chicago. One vistor per day, one squirt per customer please. Offer valid only while supplies last..

        IMdB Opportunity for MPAA

        by Andrew McCaskey
        The Movie Industry Could Get Ahead of the Curve

        CNET reported that MDb founder Col Needham’s SXSW Q&A contained the idea that the massively popular movie database has set a long term goal to add one-button streaming for all of the 1.3 million titles it indexes. It might take a decade, and there are tremendous hurdles to be ovecome, but he explained how he wants to make it possible for the 57 million monthly unique visitors to the site to watch, with the click of one button, all the movies, TV shows, and other video content indexed on the site.

        Already, IMDb has begun adding streaming content to the site, a program that began in September. Right now, Needham said, there are 14,000 full-length TV episodes and a couple of thousand full-length movies available on the site, as well as 120,000 other pieces of video content, many of which are movie trailers, interviews, and featurettes.

        The MPAA would like us to think this proposal is unreal – but if the right business model comes along they may want to consider it. Sort of like RIAA and Napster about ten years ago, with 30 million people willing to pay $10 a month for legal services. Now the MPAA faces a similar choice.

        Thirty percent of something might be better than one hundred percent of nothing.

          Kicked Into the Future

          by Andrew McCaskey
          Newspapers and the Kindle

          The Twitter stream @themediaisdying documents the day to day demise of the newspaper as we have known in for the past two hundred years. The Rocky Mountain News, the Seattle PI, the Chicago Tribune and scores of lesser known names are circling the deadpool on a business model that no longer works. Imagine my surprise to read that like the burning suspension bridge behind Indiana Jones, there may be a technology bridge to the opposite cliff.

          The Silicon Valley Insider did an analysis of the publishing costs of the New York Times, based upon public statements on subscriber levels and costs. Their conclusion was that the New York Times could BUY a Amazon Kindle for each subscriber, give it to the subscriber and save money, compared with the physical print and distribution of the printed paper version of the product. In fact, the calculations indicated that the New York Times costs would be cut in half ! There have been rumors that the Hearst organization is considering a portable reader of it’s own.

          The CES Show had a number of Kindle knock-offs at the $200 price point. It may be the future of ePaper is coming at us faster than we think – from an unexpected source.

            Bits in Danger

            by Andrew McCaskey
            Assumptions and Trouble

            The quick demise of the Ma.gnolia.us social bookmarking service has some lessons for both providers and consumers. The site owner came clean, with lessons learned by him and his customers. Ma.gnolia founder Larry Halff has been very forthcoming with his subscribers, and has described his frantic efforts to retrieve data that had been entered by the members of his community.

            He said last week that the service’s MySQL database included nearly half a terabyte of data. Ma.gnolia was a one-man operation running on two Mac OS X servers and four Mac minis. As users, we would like to belive that established sites have lots of backup, server capacity and staff. That may not be the case.

            That is one reason why our TPN Roundtable session that included discussions with the founder of CloudEngine – developers of Pogoplug – should be on the ‘must review’ list for listeners in the next few days. The only storage that you can depend upon is going to be that which you can control. We will be doing further work with Pogoplug in the weeks to come, so stay tuned.

              Durable Social Engineering

              by Andrew McCaskey
              Can’t Beat It – Human Behavior

              The new Facebook virus has as social engineering as it’s primary vector of transmission. And, Twitterspam proves that the Fast Buck artists are not far behind the early adopters in any facet of life.

              The progression from clicking of email attachments to offering downloads of “enhanced codecs” to view a video did not take long. And,it did not take long for people to catch on to the fact that it was – especially on a Windows machine – not a good idea, no matter how tantalizing. The latest social network twist, however, is a direct consequence of extension beyond true social neworks where there is some real-world relationship that is extended online to a virtual only relationship. The problem is, they are intermixed.

              The virus in question is spreading through postings on Facebook walls, ostensibly from ‘friends’, with the human curiosity magnet “this has got to be you in this video”. A quick click to view the video, the old “special codec”trick (now labeled as an “Adobe Upgrade needed to view the video”, and your system is infected and ready to move in line as a faithful bot or worse.

              One of the best educational backgrounds for coping with the online world is a good liberal arts education: Major in Psychology and a Minor in Economics. You certainly have a grand scale laboratory for your experiments.

                Synthetic America

                by Andrew McCaskey
                Refined As We Speak

                Simulation and Modeling are much on the minds of at least two groups of people: Researchers at Virginia Tech and Microsoft. Add in one other story we have covered and it gets scary. Fast.

                Here’s the summary: One project (Virginia Tech Simulation) simulates the real world from the quantative and geospatial data, infering trends and movement. This supercomputer project, is based upon combining census data along with commercial database information from Naviteq to infer the employment, travel, movement and interactions of the population of the United Staes. Fake placeholder people, but real addresses, geography and census data.

                The other initiative at Microsoft- a 3D photosynth generated on-line reality , gathers information on the appearance and geospatial attributes of the environment. Combine the two, and the invasion of privacy potential is awesome.

                Add in the realtime monitoring that may be a reality – facilitiated by the NSA facility allegedly co-linked with Microsoft’s Data Center in Austin, (See the Panopticon Economy) and the Minority Report style predictive crime enforcement vision comes close to reality.

                And that is one of the better outcomes.

                  Bumps in the Road at Seesmic

                  by Andrew McCaskey
                  By Andrew McCaskey

                  Lots of upset friends over at Seesmic – the online community that combines the best of Twitter and YouTube. Sujit, Rachael, JoAnn ended up with pink slips – and founder Seesmic CEO Loic Le Meur making some hard decisions. Sukhjit Ghag and Rachael Joy, were the hosts of its four-month-old shows unBoxing and Newspop. There was a veritable storm that locked up the Seesmic servers last night. The point was that the conflict was/is out in the open.

                  NewTeeVee has the full story.

                  People all over the world have become involved in the immediacy of the tool – but it is so new, one of those technologies that is so transformational that it is hard to both describe and judge where it will fit in. I was introduced to Seesmic at Podcamp Boston by Tiil, at Podcamp Boston. I had a chance to speak with JoAnne at New Media Expo at length, and have Seesmic as an intregal part of the plans for SDRNews.

                  I have to speculate that the search for a business model for Seesmic is problematic. If Loic Le Meur started out with the idea of mixing regular show oriented television with an ad supported video IM serving as an extension to existing social media, it may be that he had to change course. Seesmic moves the interactive experience to the next level, adding a degree of personal connection that was probably not anticipated from a business and technical sense. That disrupts the provisioning of the hardware – and he probably never anticipated ‘connect times’ of hours of video with one user – Freida – posting over 13,000 video episodes.

                  You could tell that in Podcamp Boston. Half of the people in the room had never met in person, yet many had traveled hundreds or thousands of miles to establish the realtime connection that had been developed in the earlier months. There is no doubt that the community is in for some deep bumps in the road.

                  Let’s hope that Seesmic survives intact. It is going to be a big part of SDRNews.

                    Way Too Much Coffee

                    by Andrew McCaskey

                    Thanks to a number of listeners who called and emailed this morning – SDRNews on speed or the story of way too much caffeine. My secret is out – been experimenting with a tool that allows me to edit at 120% of realtime. And just forgot to take it out of overdrive before I encoded last night.

                    By noon I had it replaced, but by that time most of you probably had already downloaded the episode. – so my apologies for the error – although some in the Northeast US thought it was an improvement.

                        More Thoughts on Seesmic

                        by Andrew McCaskey
                        The best of intentions were to record Seesmic versions of the production process this evening, but he combination of lighting, ground loops and fan noise were not lining up in a favorable direction.

                        There seems to be a lot of activity on Seesmic, but not much focused activity on the public timeline. This is probably due to several factors – not the least of which is the generation gap as far as what is interesting content, and the timing (time of day) that the episodes are posted.

                        There seem to be a number of working professionals and freelancers on during the day – with more random conversations and shoutouts in the evening hours. I expect that it will also change as the seasons change-

                        The objective, as I mentioned on the air, is to see if there is some improvement that can be made to the SDRNews audience who listen at their desk or laptop machine at some point during the day, as opposed to the commuter.

                        What’s the role (if any ) of video in the SDRNews operation ? or should the energy be directed at other audio programming and coverage ?
