Epic Win: News Corp Likely To Remove Content From Google - http://www.inquisitr.com/46786...
Alex Schleber, Bonnie Foster, Brian and 27 other people liked this
Smart move (maybe) - if Google is paying Twitter to get their content, why shouldn't Google be paying others as well? News Corp is a big entity - is it a loss for Google to lose all that content or a loss for News Corp?
- Jesse Stay
from Bookmarklet
WOW
- Holden Page
Since News Corp suck at reporting and Murdoch is a greedy bastard, I say 'Good bloody riddance'
- Mo Kargas
I know a whole lotta conservatives that will still bypass Google to get the content
- Jesse Stay
Not to mention MySpace users - however, will MySpace users revolt now that their pages can't be indexed (if this goes through)?
- Jesse Stay
*bookmark*
- Micah Wittman
Also makes me wonder what News Corp is doing with MySpace now - what do they have up their sleeves?
- Jesse Stay
Imagine if they too set up a deal with Twitter...
- Jesse Stay
to search content, that is
- Jesse Stay
Good, it would save me the trouble of having to look to see if something comes from Murdoch's entities. I doubt this will actually happen, though.
- Rob H.
Sorry but most people won't even realize that News Corp content is missing. People will search and they'll find other sites. Sorry, the unibrow of the web wins.
- AJ Kohn
So if I link to a News Corp article via Twitter... will that tweet not be searchable?
- Johnny Worthington

Johnny, they can block Google spider from news corp sites but twitter will still be indexed as usual.
- Amit Morson
Two Words... DON'T CARE

Would be a good move if News Corp carried ALL the news (sorry for allcaps). But there are plenty of others wanting for Google love.

When Murdoch and his kind get together to set a price, the Government will step in to stop what is obvious price fixing. His threat is hollow, they won't set a price.

Rupert must have been listening to Twist #24. Calacanis suggested he do this. http://thisweekinstartups.com/2009... (somewhere near the end of the episode).
- Ken Morley
Calacanis suggested he do this???? It figures....
- Roberto Bonini
He was saying the top ten news oranizations should get together and make an offer to Bing... but that Rupert was likely the only one with the balls to do it; and that Google set a precedent by paying Twitter to index their content. :o)
- Ken Morley
Update: Calacanis just posted this: http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Genius! epic win for sure!
- Jason Calacanis
It's curious that he would say search engine referral visitors aren't desired by advertisers.
- Rob Sterling
Only way to make money from your content is to control it from the beginning. News Corp gave it away in several ways on the internet, including allowing Google search to go through their websites. Now that it has happened, if they choose to close off key avenues of information to go out to the users that are now used to getting their information a certain way, will backfire beyond...

One word, "Antitrust." Or is that two words? The bulk Twitter feed apparently was not available to the public or it would have already been searched by Google. If content is available to the public now for free, I don't know how you are going to exclude some member of the public (Google) from accessing that content without creating a legal problem.
- Jimmy Walker
I love moves that make old media harder to get to, driving those bastards farther behind their walls, marginalizing their impact even further. It makes just that much more space to allow the future to get her sooner.
- Matthew DeVries
I guess new media won't kill old media after all. Old media will simply commit suicide.
- Victor Ganata
I think Rupert should do it. Not because I want see News Corp. die (sorry all) but because they have a right to control their content, and he is probably right about the fact that losing readership to actually paying subs is more worth it in the end. Plus, if google had to pay Twitter for content, why shouldn't Google pay for their content which *is* worth MUCH more (whether we like it or not)
- Holden Page
And Jason just sent around an email newsletter explaining. I'd post it but its Copyrighted.
- Roberto Bonini
What, this? http://calacanis.com/2009...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Why is he "talking about it"? Couldn't a quick change to the robots.txt file (which Google and legitimate search robots obey) exclude Google?
- Brian Sullivan
Jason get rich by flux, it doesn't matter to him who wins, as long as there is change, upheaval and instability. Flat markets are Satan that he must fight. It does not surprise me that he advocates points of view that represent a sea change in the industry. It matters not to him whether new media or old media wins, just that there is a decade of fighting.
- Matthew DeVries
For sure they want to be' payd as Twitter, the move to exit from the index is a suicide about advertising, by now it guarantee 100000 imp x day (It's in the answer of google to Murdock).

from BuddyFeed
@Anthony: Correct, kicking the can down the street doesn't mean the can goes away ... just delaying the inevitable and propping up housing markets for a little longer.
- AJ Kohn
This is a good plan. It saves the expense of foreclosure and avoids the owner/tenant filing for bankruptcy to buy more time. More time is good for Fannie Mae if they own the house because they are more likely to get a better price for the house next year. Also, the owner/tenant many be able to repurchase the home next year.

Here is the way I see it: ( http://money.cnn.com/news... ) These Guys divided by ( http://answers.yahoo.com/questio... ) Equals 6.4 Trillions committed to this fiasco, ($62,750- apiece to home owners ) counting 103 million home owners receiving the money.

Home prices were (and still are) artificially high. Who...

- AJ Kohn
@AJ Kohn Well the home owners are not starting wars out there and they are not subsidizing banks who are using the money both on and off shore. If I were to make a sounder investment with an immediate return, IE money going right back to the Gov, homeowners would make that happen. Banks are paying all sorts of high fees for go-between people and their presidents and high officers. Little of the money is applied to the problem. Just an opinion Sic.
- ThatDBD
@ThatDBD: Oh, I'm not saying the banks deserve the money. I'm anti-bailout in general. I'd rather concentrate on getting our money out of Iraq (though Afghanistan is still necessary IMO) and putting money to work for jobs, education and health care. Personal and corporate responsibility means you have to learn from your mistakes. Giving banks or over-extended homeowners a mulligan doesn't lead to responsibility which - IMO - is what this nation needs to get back to.

@Jimmy: a better price next year? not likely. @AJ: if they have found themselves in this situation, they are not homeowners.

- WarLord
So now Obama wants to take over the housing industry? This basically makes Uncle Sam the ultimate landlord! Let's make this clear, Uncle Sam "allows" homeowners to GIVE him the deed to their HOME. Then, Uncle Sam charges the EX-homeowners RENT to stay in their own homes?!?!? This must be stopped.
- David C. Cooper
David, the homeowners didn't actually own the home, it was mortaged through Fannie Mae. Which means Uncle Sam already held the deed to the home and was taking money in order to theoretically transfer it to the new owner once the balance was paid 30 years down the road. Now the person in question will just pay money for rent and Uncle Sam will keep the deed. The person can break the lease and move if they need to without going into foreclosure and Uncle Sam can sell the property when and if appropriate.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Yeah, I'm not sure I'm excited by the idea of Fannie Mae being a landlord. They do realize that renters generally trash the hell out of a house, right? The resale value when the market improves will be terrible.
- Jason Huebel
@warlord: yes, thus my original metaphor. @Tina: don't bother; with David, everything is the President's fault and/or evil plan
- Anthony Citrano
from BuddyFeed
@ffing enigma You are right to point out that these houses have no monitary value to to the homeowner. Being on a lease that the owner can walk away from is a matter of value to the homeowner. @Anthony Owners evicted ejected from foreclosed home are notoriously abusive to the homes. They tend to take things like dishwashers, light fixtures and mantles. Worse, after they vacate the homes, the vandals go in and take whatever is left including copper wiring and water pipes.

Everyone, mortgages and deeds are not like car titles and car loans. When your name is on a deed, regardless of whether you owe money to a bank or lender for the purchase (a transaction called a mortgage with all kinds of legal precedent on the rights that bestows), you own that property. You are responsible to the community it is in for taxes and duties regarding upkeep. That property...

Tina, actually it is quite different. If you purchased a car using a loan, the lender will be listed as a lienholder on your car title.

Conveyance is a matter of public record. Your rights to the...

- Cole Jolley
This notion of "ownership" is a curious illusion, even when the property is debt free. You really can't own anything beyond the point where the law will recognize and protect your exclusive possession. Where the property is encumbered by debt, the law still protects the owner, until foreclosure, just as much as if it were debt free. Either way, we enjoy this illusion of ownership. It's no surprise that "owners" in bankruptcy cases propose to pay much more than the property is worth to preserve "ownership."

I am beginning to finally get it... If you post on Friendfeed you get comments... If you post on Twitter, you get followers. If you are marketing something (e.g. your blog/brand, your product/service) getting followers is much better than getting comments.

Getting followers doesn't really mean anything: 390 of the 400 followers I have on Twitter never act or do anything with what I say on it. Getting them to convert is the meaningful part of the marketing proposition, and conversations, I've found, are far more effective at that.

twitter seems to be great for people who are lazy and not really savvy about marketing. it's sort of like shouting into the void, and you might get a few people to respond, but do you really get people to act?
- Bren, Photophobe
@Mark, I agree with you.. However to a lot of people having a follower number like 10K/20K, which seems like a relatively easily thing to do on Twitter, is not only just a high but it is also a good way to keep in touch with your audience without spending too much time... Here keeping in touch with your audience is way more time consuming
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu, but keeping in touch doesn't mean anything if they're not listening. You can have a million followers, but if you're not getting any of them to act on what you're saying, it doesn't mean much. Getting conversations going with people, who may or may not be followers, which Twitter is pretty bad at, are more effective at getting people to convert. I just had a relatively popular...

Following is such a low-risk endeavor that people don't put thought into it: they'll follow anyone and everyone. You even have people thinking it's common decency to automatically follow people if they follow you without even thinking about if their content is interesting. Following is the 21st century equivalent of receiving a phone book or the yellow pages: you do it just in case you need to contact or get ahold of someone in the future, but nobody ever realistically does.
- Mark Trapp
Yep, it's like collecting business cards that get neatly filed into a big binder. It's about the self-satisfaction of the collection - you feel more connected / networked / important and avoid doing the hard work of cold calling or meeting with people and building something or whatever.
- Micah Wittman
I agree with following being a low-risk effort... However I have also heard of ppl gaining value from Twitter without much effort. Take for example this coffeshop I am a big fan of - sightglass coffee. They get a lot of customers from Twitter. It takes them relatively little time to tweet and they get customers. It would be very hard to achieve the same on FF.
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu, I get lots of conversation on Twitter, too. One of the reasons I am there more than here is because people with common interest in my political obsessions are there, but not here.
- Karoli
Karoli - Yes, the Twitterverse is way more diverse than the FFverse. Curious do you get more comments/conversations per post on Twitter as compared to FF or is it that you you post more stuff because time spent per post is lower on Twitter
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu, I get very little response to political conversations/comments on FF - a couple of folks follow here but a very small percentage compared to twitter. I tried to pull people over here, but they didn't understand why they should leave tweetdeck and their twitter setup for new territory.
- Karoli
Geeks (+ early adopters, influential folks, the elite ...) are on FriendFeed and the proletariat on Twitter? Long live the dictatorship of the proletariat? Calls for action work best when the audience actually cares, so prolly that's all about choosing the right medium for the targeted punters?
- Sebastian
Sebastian... yes agree the geeks and tech bloggers are on FF... However if you are marketing say a fashion or beauty blog. You won't get much interest here. twitter is the place for you :)
- Bindu Reddy
I disagree with that statement, Bindu. There's a LOT of non-tech getting traction on FriendFeed. So much so that it's the number one reason Scoble no longer enjoys being here: he says he doesn't see enough tech for his liking.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Just butting in here to mention that there are tons of uses for both twitter and friendfeed that have nothing whatsoever to do with marketing. In fact, once could make the argument that social networks such as these were designed to get away from marketing. Unlike radio, TV, or even a web search, you choose who you'll be receiving information from. If you're looking to exchange...

Bindu, what I'm sick of is marketers broadcasting their sales pitches to all social media outlets out there, regardless whether the audience might fit or not. Anyways, i'ts possible to attract a few somewhat intelligent responses to geeky topics at Twitter, at least when xmas and independence day share the same date. Most probably I wouldn't try to sell wonder bras at FF, though.
- Sebastian
@Tina ... umm I have not been an avid user of FF lately so maybe it has become pretty diverse. Are you saying there are a lot of people on here with specific interests such as politics, beauty etc?
- Bindu Reddy
Sebastian - LOL.. agree :)
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu: Ning is a better place to go if you have very specific topics you want to talk about. They are growing a FriendFeed every 12 days (they are getting a million new users that often and have just passed 38 million registered). FriendFeed is fun if you aren't sure what you want to chat about and you're cool with seeing lots of family pictures and goofy stuff. Tina is right that the hard-core geeks are mostly on Twitter or Facebook now, I keep watching here, though.
- Robert Scoble
Karoli I get all kinds of action here on political topics. I have more followers on Twitter but rarely get a response there. Here I got 80+ comments yesterday.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
from iPod
MVB, Karoli is a prolific voice on twitter. Twitter seems quite effective for political advocacy/activism even though longer form convos have to break out somewhere else. Also, just like friendfeed, volume / steady presence can make all the difference. Your tweet count is ~2K; Karoli's over 63K.
- Micah Wittman
My presence here is similar to Kaoli's on Twitter, then. So, presence is a mitigating factor. But, Micah, as you so deftly point out, for a long conversation there needs to be a move to another venue. That's where here works better, since it can stay right here.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
from iPod
We agree, and can agreed at length right here, folks :)
- Micah Wittman
So link your twitter to your friendfeed. Get followers and comments. The best of both worlds.
- Hareesh Nagarajan
Does it make any difference here whether the original post was to Twitter and reposted here automatically or the original post was directly here? In other words, does the FF community prefer to comment on direct posts rather than Twitter reposts?
- Jimmy Walker
Jimmy: it honestly depends on who you interact with on FriendFeed. There are people who get irate about people only posting to Twitter and openly advocate using FriendFeed directly, and yet, there are interesting people who always get a conversation going around their tweets. One thing that sometimes helps is coming back to FriendFeed and elaborating on your tweet, or to do more than...

This indicates that iPhone-growth primarily happens elsewhere: iPhone-users are fans of internet-surfing - but not of surfing the mobile websites. Instead they prefer the regular stuff. Although not entirely convincing, you are actually able to navigate the full-fledged web-version on your iPhone to such an extend, most users won’t settle with the stripped-down mobile websites.

LJF Wolffe, chaz2b, Maxamad (Amazigh) and 2 other people liked this
"The idea that there is more than one universe, each with its own laws of physics, arises out of several different theories, including string theory and cosmic inflation. This concept of a "multiverse" could explain a puzzling mystery - why dark energy, the furtive force that is accelerating the expansion of space, appears improbably fine-tuned for life. With a large number of universes, there is bound to be one that has a dark energy value like ours. Calculating the probability of observing this value - and other features of the cosmos - depends on how many universes of various kinds populate the multiverse."

"Philip Glass - Circles Classical | Easy CD-DA, FLAC tracks, No CUE, No Log | 1 CD, Cover, LQ | 210 MB CD Date: November 17, 1998 | Materiali Sonori “ Music for piano solo, or the result of arrangements for more than one piano, or for piano and cello, with an interpretative richness and depth such as to place the "classic" composer Philip Glass in a position of absolute distinction. With its absence of refrains and points of melodic support, it has the flavour of an opera which, above and beyond the so-called minimalist movement, now belongs in the history of contemporary music. Arturo Stalteri plays Yamaha pianos. "Étoile Polaire", "Victor's Lament", "River Run" and "Ave", originally included on the soundtrack of "North Star", are here in Arturo Stalteri's arrangement. "Ave" cello is played by Damiano Puliti."
