Wow this is great! Hey wait, what if we hate both CNN and Twitter?
- Cristo
I think it's a tad ludicrous to compare millions of users to two products and services as wildly different as CNN and Twitter and declare "old media" dead. And how exactly is CNN "old" media these days? They're partly responsible for bringing Twitter to the mainstream; they were one of the pioneers using it to interact with their audience in real time. They're complementary, at least in some ways. Neither will destroy the other.

Cristo - haha funny dude! too bad LOL :D

Zee - yea, I was pretty stoked by that chart, WOW
- Susan Beebe
CNN is old media to me - established news outlet publishing news vs. news published by tweet model :P

I love charts like these....... I wonder what happened around November last year..... hmmm

Until Twitter starts funding a world-wide team of journalists, some of whom risk life and limb to report from some of the most dangerous parts of the world, let's not gleefully cheer the demise of "old" media.
- Carter Rabasa
I am definitely not someone who "gleefully cheer the demise of 'old' media." I am nonetheless aware and impacted by the shift in web traffic, as evidenced here by the graph
- Susan Beebe
I shouldn't have implied that you're gleeful, but many are. It's become somewhat of a game to point these things out. But where would the non-creators of content (Google, Twitter, Facebook) be with nothing to crawl, nothing to RT, and nothing to share? It just worries me, because you're right, "old" media is suffering. The NYT could go broke. Can Twitter supplant them if they go?
- Carter Rabasa
Carter - thanks for the reply. NYT times going broke would be a tragedy and NO twitter could not supplant them. Twitter is a micro-blogging service, not a mature company like NYT that delivers high quality journalism / news. Heck, twitter can barely keep the lights on (i.e. twitter has weak infrastructure, hence the "fail whale" issues).
- Susan Beebe
Agreed. But we're going to look back in 2012 at all these crashing graphs (http://trends.google.com/website...) and wonder how we could have avoided this mess. Because all the solutions suck (charging for content, mega-mergers for scale, selling-out editorial independence).
- Carter Rabasa
look what happens when you add facebook in the mix http://trends.google.com/website...
- Ian Crocombe
look what happens when you compare the BBC News site instead of CNN - http://trends.google.com/website... - CNN is just not that popular outside of the US
- James
James, it's not the absolute numbers, it's the *trend*. Plot CNN and BBC and it's the same graph, just shifted up a bit.
- Carter Rabasa
Ian - wow, that is stunning (facebook really steals the show doesn't it?!)
- Susan Beebe
James - interesting, the BBC vs twitter graph has a similar trend as the CNN vs twitter graph ...hmmm
- Susan Beebe
Just amazing.Useful informations.....

this makes Rupert Murdoch's recent rant at a conference in China even funnier: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-phi... He (and the other members of the Old Media guard like CNN, etc.) really thinks he can take the Web back to a for-pay basis. He doesn't get that 98% of the content his minions are producing is so fungible that the...

What I find interesting, and disturbing is that not only are Twitters stats going up, but CNNs are going down. Given the self selecting nature of Twitter, that probably means people are exposing themselves to a much narrower range of opinion and information.
- Eoghann Irving
Please don't dance on the grave of print journalism. Yes, newpapers are dinosaurs. And yes, to their detriment, they resisted change in delivery models for too long -- mostly due to the fact that they were making so much money 15 years ago. BUT, without them, there will be a void in investigative journalism that cannot be filled. Politicians still read the big papers to see what's going on in their own government and to see who's investigating whom.
- rowlikeagirl
@Row, I seriously don't want to, but Old Media's wounds are entirely self-inflicted. There will always be investigative journalism, it's just that it needs to be paid for by newer/smarter monetization models. And the pay-wall ain't it.. Murdoch is entirely out of his gourd on this one, and that's not a political statement in this case.

So a friend of mine (and two others) designed this site for the Apps for America contest and it's been selected as a finalist. They'll be heading to DC to give a talk at the Gov2.0 expo, and will be meeting with the nation's CIO at the White House. I urge you to explore the site: if its goals were realized, it would represent a tremendous leap in govt transparency – so go vote for it and help make that happen!

$1 Million Netflix Prize is Finally Claimed | GOOD - http://www.good.is/post...
"In case you missed it, the Netflix Prize has been claimed. What is the Netflix Prize, you ask? Only the most exciting collaborative experiment in distributed brain power since the start of the internet (It’s like a cross between SETI and the X-Prize). Maybe that’s an oversell, given that the intended outcome was only to improve the recommendations Netflix’s automated systems makes to its customers by 10 percent (read some nice explanations here and here)."

Times Wire: New York Times Experiments With Real Time News, FriendFeed Style - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
Earlier today we wrote about the new version of the Times Reader desktop app, notable for swapping out Microsoft's Silverlight technology for Adobe's AIR platform - a significant win for Adobe over its RIA (Rich Internet Apps) rival. The New York Times has followed up by debuting another online news reading product. This one is called Times Wire and it aims to be a real time 'river of news', taking a large leaf from the book of Twitter and Friendfeed. The site is described as "a new layout of New York Times news in reserve chronological order." It updates every minute with the latest news and blog posts from across NYTimes.com.

Scoopler: Real-Time Meta-Search for Twitter, Digg, Delicious, and Flickr - ReadWriteWeb - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
Thierry R. Andriamirado and ap428 liked this
"Current real-time search engines generally focus on just searching a single service - and typically, that service is Twitter. Scoopler, however, a Y Combinater-funded startup which launched today after a short private beta, goes far beyond that. Scoopler is a real-time meta-search tool for Twitter, Flickr, Digg, and Delicious, with support for more services to follow in the future. As one would expect, search results from Twitter dominate the real-time stream, though, depending on the topic, the most interesting links often come from delicious or digg."

Stupeflix releases awesome API to generate 1,000s of videos on the fly - http://uk.techcrunch.com/2009...
"Stupeflix is a French startup which has come up with a radically new way of creating, processing and editing online video. On the face of it, Stupeflix automatically generates professional looking videos out of pictures, music and videos. If that sounds like Animoto, then you are right, but there are key differences under the hood which make Stupeflix totally different and potentially of much greater value. And I don’t say that lightly."
