| Links: Amazoning The News
Our whitepaper shows how traditional news stories might be treated in the design model of Amazon.com. We contend that a successful news Web site is a platform that supports social interaction around the story. These interactions are as important as the narrative, perhaps more, because they are chosen by the readers. In a networked world, media whose primary value lies in its ability to connect people will win.[Hypergene 2001]

To take the Internet to the next level, users must begin posting their own material rather than simply consuming content or distributing copyrighted material. Unfortunately most people are poor writers and even worse at authoring other media. Solutions include structured creation, selection-based media, and teaching content creation in schools.

The Internet is widely regarded as primarily a content delivery system. Yet historically, connectivity has mattered much more than content. Even on the Internet, content is not as important as is often claimed, since it is e-mail that is still the true "killer app." [FirstMonday 29/01/2001]

Schrijf een recensie | Voeg to aan del.icio.us Content or Graphics? An Empirical Analysis of Criteria for Award-Winning Websites
We found that, across the dataset, the content criterion was by far the best predictor of the overall experience criterion, while the visual design criterion was the worst predictor of the overall experience. Analysis of ratings within the 27 topical categories showed that the importance of the five criteria to the overall experience score differed substantially among the topics. For example, in the Arts category, the visual design criterion and the content criterion were equally important, whereas in the Activism category, content was very important, but visual design was not important for predicting the score for overall experience. The importance of content and the relative lack of importance of visual design was mirrored in layperson’s ratings of the websites (known as the People’s Voice ratings). Websites with the highest ratings as determined by peoples' votes were those that rated lower in visual design and higher in content by the Webby Awards judges.

A few weeks ago our own publisher was moderating a panel at Qpass' Digital Boot Camp for publishers when she made a brief off-the-cuff remark that custom content was a growing field to watch in the online publishing business. Afterwards she was surprised when more than half a dozen publishing execs
cornered her to ask for more details on this topic. Then the story got picked up in the general publishing press and dozens more queries poured in from publishers, freelance writers and even
prospective custom original content buyers. Obviously this is a topic a lot of people want to know more about. So we decided to research and write this special report for you.

Cheering comes from the audience of more than 500 Web executives who clearly think abuse of the bland term has given the entire category a bad rap. [eCompany 10/2000]

Schrijf een recensie | Voeg to aan del.icio.us The Free Lunch is Over: Online Content Subscriptions on the Rise
The old pros of the online subscription game all recommend that publishers retrain themselves, not just their users, and start thinking about their content as merchandise. "Packaging, price, and positioning are very critical to the success of the business," says Spede. Using a "front porch method," Hoovers gives only a slice of its profiles away and then floods the user with links to deeper content requiring payment. "What tends to work best is making sure users are bumping into a wall. Click on that enough times, and you eventually subscribe," she says. By scrutinizing its own logs, it can gauge the conversion rates of unique users to paying customers, how efficiently page views in different free areas of the site result in subscriptions, and even the most effective page positioning for subscription offers.

One good way to increase the popularity of your site is to offer frequently updated content, possibly in the form of news. If you, like me, do not produce enough daily news yourself, there are plenty of places offering you free news to display on your site. They are usually formatted in one of several news-related formats expressed in XML for describing one or more channels.

'As it turned out, creating a viable model for publishing online was more complicated than anyone anticipated. A lot more complicated. In the four years since Kinsley graced that Newsweek cover, Web publishing has gone from a sure thing to one of the toughest angles in the Internet game. While other types of businesses took wing online, Web publishers, with a few notable exceptions, became snarled in a heap of twisted business plans and broken revenue models.'[eCompany 08/2000]
