"Hi Nigel Absolutely. There are multiple issues even over and above the issues you have raised, but it's not impossible. As with all these things there's a point when the issues of implementation outweigh the issues of not implementing. It's worth putting the idea out there though because it might actually resonate with someone who is looking for a solution." - Jonathan Nguyen

"Hi Paul, it's good to see people are passionate about this topic. If I may paraphrase, the crux of your argument is that: Premise 1: TV news lies, and they all tell the lie in ten or two different ways. Premise 2: If it's on YouTube it must be true Conclusion: Actually I'm unclear of your conclusion. Although I believe both your premises are somewhat generalised, it heartens me to know that although our viewpoints differ there are still people who are passionate about news and current affairs. Thanks for taking the time to write your thoughts." - Jonathan Nguyen

"Zuckerberg is pretty sure the future of the company won't really be as a destination Web site" - Bruno Pedro from tarpipe

I blogged about this a year ago: http://www.jonathannguyen.net/2008... - Jonathan Nguyen

"Ok it's not scientific by here's an experiment. Go to the front page of www.smh.com.au and www.news.com.au and count the negative vs positive stories. Or even more telling count the negative and positive stories with just the top half of the screen that is viewable without scrolling. Which stories prevail? On you second point I partially agree with you. Media relations is only a fraction of the practice of PR. There are the boundary spanning and trusted advisor roles that we play. In this instance though I am referring to the media relations aspect of our role. Where I differ though is that I don't believe we are better and I don't believe that the world needs more PR people, because what we do, our craft can be distorted and is not always used for good. In Utopia, you would not need journalists because all companies would be good and so would all governments. Strategic PR is constantly working to build relationships. In Utopia world people don't have self interests. We don't live in..." - Jonathan Nguyen

This is always a harebrained move. Psychologically it has a great impact morale, but costs so little. I've always said if you have to cut tea and coffee, it's time to shut up shop. - Jonathan Nguyen

I think it's time for the movie, music and traditional media worlds to put their heads together and work out a new model for monetisation. Sending cease and desist letters is not going to help anyone. - Jonathan Nguyen

Hey, that was a great convo we had. Besides, it's stark daylight here, pretty cool at 'round 90 F :) - Yuvi

+5 John (if you're sober enough to handle arithmetic) - Tim Ostler

"Actually I haven't seen an Amazon Kindle, and there's my point. Amazon Kindle exists in the US. Nowhere else. When will it arrive here in Australia? I don't know. When will it arrive in Asia? Africa? Mauritius? It's a dangerous assumption to believe that because such technologies exist in one place, it exists everywhere. There is still a place for print. The second part of that is there are some people like my friend Pascale, that given a choice will still take the newspaper/novel. They like paper, they like the feel of a novel. They like being able to dog ear books, scribble on the pages and take notes. They want to be able to read a book on their camping holiday an not have to worry about whether the book will go flat. So I take your point that solutions exist, but can you say that the world over every person will want to consume their media the same way you do? So where there is demand, there will be supply." - Jonathan Nguyen

Great news. Nice shirts, suits and ties! - Jonathan Nguyen

"Adds a whole new meaning to Kreme." - Jonathan Nguyen

"Dunc, love the angle. I need to write a letter to censor the works of Shakespeare, the poems of Wilfred Owen and we definitely need to do something about the ideology of Ned Kelly and Waltzing Matilda. Ned was bank robber who killed people and old Walt stole sheep and committed suicide." - Jonathan Nguyen

"Actually I did, these are @JonoH's tweets: Breaking!!! Plane on fire @ melboune airport about 21 hours ago from TweetDeck Qantas 767 on fire @ Melbourne airport... details to come!!! about 21 hours ago from TweetDeck etc... Until this message when quizzed by @nickhodge a few hours later. I had a mate scheduled on a Mel-Syd flight who had alerted me 2 the situation. i was not on scene, please just wait 4 QF/media to announce. about 19 hours ago from TweetDeck Look, I'm glad that in the end the facts did get checked, but the bit that concerns me is this stuff spreading BEFORE the verification. I will update the post shortly to reflect this. Thanks for stopping by with your comments." - Jonathan Nguyen

Ummm what can I say? - Jonathan Nguyen
