Angry people in local newspapers: http://apiln.blogspot.com/ Ha.
@pwthornton But they love a lot of 1994 ideas: "People don't buy generic news." "A newspaper is like a friend." Info isn't a commodity, etc.
Some things never change. The tablet, circa 1994: "On first glance, it looks just like a printed newspaper!" http://video.google.com/videopl...
Wooowww. RT @lavrusik: Behold the newspaper tablet, circa 1994 from the former Knight Ridder: http://video.google.com/videopl...
@mathewi Some tablet skepticism is healthy. http://www.slate.com/id... There are no silver bullets, and since when is subscription $ central?
"Nexus" has a vaguely creepifying sound to it. Google already knows too much about me.
ROFL. An Open Letter to James Cameron from Papyrus. http://prttyshttydesign.blogspot.com/2010... Font humor. (H/t @ohmgee @designmilk)

@johnmcquaid And maybe someday screens will be replaced by Vision Clouds. Meantime, I don't see the Skiff's appeal, in form or function.

In 2009, Politico made $7.34 mil online and $11.25 mil with print, @paidcontent reports: http://paidcontent.org/article...
@yelvington I've heard Politico makes bank from print. But Congress is a uniquely profitable niche. Could other freesheets be so successful?
@johnrobinson Always dangerous to make journalist curious. Remember when you had to pick up a phone, go to offices for documents? Dark ages!
@johnrobinson Aren't 501c(3)s required by law to disclose top employee salaries? Online 990 databases always improving: http://foundationcenter.org/findfun...
Lost Remote relaunches, focused on the "local online and mobile media space." http://www.lostremote.com/ Good stuff.
Flickr makes me want to run away, join a dingy artists' commune, take illicit substances & sleep on floorboards. Too bad I'm not an artist.
Howell was "The Editor Everyone Should Have Had," writes @carr2n http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2010... Will the new media generations be so lucky?

Best album covers of 2009? http://www.npr.org/blogs... I dunno, seems like a lot of lame photoshopping to me.
@abuaardvark Ha, had that exact discussion after seeing that movie this summer. Mostly, yes, I think. Cold.
@AllieG Zomg WIN.

@brandonkelly Explain yourself? That's pretty vague prognosticating.
Farewell, 2009. It was very best of years, and one of the worst.
