PSFK writes about the future of magazines, mainly about 4 points that I agree with:
1. Not many people seem interested in reading long-form journalism (The New Yorker, NYT Magazine, etc) in front of their screens.
2. Magazines are easily portable for a plane ride, or the commute home. Also, they can be a good weekend digest [...]

It’s this blogs 2nd Birthday today. Yes, Web Jungle is two years old. I am rather excited about this, as it doesn’t appear to me as if I have been working&writing on blogs for so long. I can still remember having started on the old blogger.com space: http://jungleweb.blogspot.com/
Then, when I noticed I would indeed continue [...]

Some might have seen it already: I had some database problems over the last couple of hours. This was due to the fact that during some maintenance work the databases got lost (don’t ask!).
Unfortunately, my brothers and I were moving to a new, much better server over the last few months. This blog was already [...]

There is a rather good and interesting review of the book “The Long Tail” by the The New Yorker. I just ordered a copy of that book today. Even though I feel I have read so much about the book online in blogs and reviews, that I don’t see how the original print edition can [...]

Umair hast an interesting Post about how strategy is in danger of becoming the new commodity (in his opinion), and the fact that creativity will be the next thing to add true value:
In a world where strategy is a commodity, creativity becomes the vital factor from which value flows. When everyone can think strategically about [...]

Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, has a video-podcast since today. Her first vidcast was FIFA Worldcup message, no surprise.

Now that has got to be a first. Or is there any other country whose Nr. 1 politician has a video-podcast?

The first time in a long time, that I actually really appreciate something my government [...]

Well, the title is a little overpromising. Sofar, TurnHere.com only covers parts of the USA. But nevertheless, the idea is nice. and some of the films are really made will with a lot of effort by all the individuals. Just like this one here:

New York private eye Dempster Leech weaves a tale of the restaurants, [...]

This book could be interesting: Transformation. A forthcoming book by Grant McCracken, who now, writes a little about his book:
This book argues that there’s a new cultural regime, one that is, I believe, changing how we define the individual, the self, our culture and our economy.
He jumps right into the discussion about [...]

psfk has a short interview of Chris Anderson, author of “The Long Tail” – a book which I am definitely goint to get.
Somehow I get the feeling that this is already part of Chris’ promotion tour. Not that I blame him, in fact, I hope he will have a very good promotional campaign around [...]

In April, ABC announced that some of their prime time shows will be available online the day after they first aired. Not for free, of course, they contain ads that you cannot skip.
