Hat tip to my pal Dene Schonknecht for finding this handy reference on Who Owns What in the Web 2.0 world. I suspect this will look very different in 6 months. Original is at http://www.mydigimedia.com/images/WhoOwnsWhat.jpg
Page 13 of the Future Of Media Report has some similar info with deal sizes too!
Productivity in our team just went down. Stunning example of Silverlight.
Hat Tip to Angus - your man for Live shtuff. As he notes,
if you haven't used Silverlight Streaming by Windows Live you are missing a great opportunity to store and stream up to 4Gb of Silverlight Applications via our data centers!
Our man in Oz has taken the Partner TV love down under with the launch of Partner TV Australia. Nice work Mr Longstaff!
Some days are just special - today was one of those for me. I met up with Sean Geer, ex Managing Editor of Wired UK. This was the UK offshoot of the magazine that changed everything. Well, I did for me the day I saw the braille issue in the student union at Loughborough and decided to buy that instead of lunch.
Sean and I had breakfast in Chiswick and reminisced about the mag. The amazing covers, the outrageous production costs and the outstanding journalism. We both fondly remembered Neal Stephenson's FLAG - 50k words that took over an entire issue. No other magazine then (or now) would have the balls to do that. It was a shame when the UK mag came to an end as the market just wasn't ready for it here.
Sean blew me away by bringing me a pristine copy of Wired 3.01 UK edition - the mirror cover which I probably still have in my parents loft. He also brought me a Hotwired round mousemat of which I expect there are very few.
There is something odd about Wired though. I have this second sense of when the next issue is due and though I fell out of love with it during their biotech phase, I kind of knew the new edition was out today. Sure enough after looking at several magazine stands, I made my way home via Waterloo station thinking "oh well, it'll be out next week" and then spotted it right there with master chief on the cover. As usual I picked the one from the back of the pile to ensure I got a gleaming, fresh copy that smelt like it had just been printed.
A perfect day of Wired symmetry. thanks Sean!
I stumbled across this from a comment on my site and was pleasantly surprised to see my desk mate Steve Morrow is now blogging - he sits opposite me. Expect all things ISV with a non-techie bias from Steve and hats off to him for publishing his email and mobile phone number so prominently. Took me a while to take that plunge!
