What I thought...Thank you :) <BR/><BR/>You're probably right. <BR/><BR/>What I thought was that while the news itself easily may be duplicated and shared, it may be interesting to see the different angels side by side - together with video, comments and articles imported from the web.<BR/><BR/>In addition all that content could possibly be used in a greater contextual way. After all not all news papers cover the same stories, although the often overlap each other. <BR/><BR/>I'd probably display it in a graphic way as well - at least the navigation.<BR/><BR/>Well, well, back to the work desk I guess :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757174.post-89878029326469466032009-01-21T00:32:00.000+01:002009-01-21T00:32:00.000+01:00Hi Stefan!

Given the news organizations reaction to Google News, it doesn't seem like they would work with a Spotify-like aggregator. <BR/><BR/>And I don't think they need to in the way the music industry has to. A piece of news can be a rewrite and still be of great value to the user. A cover of a song on the other hand is a very different thing from the real thing.Henrik Torstenssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699760792850864569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757174.post-59169189635971903412009-01-20T21:52:00.000+01:002009-01-20T21:52:00.000+01:00Good post Henrik.I stumbled upon this post the oth...Good post Henrik.<BR/><BR/>I stumbled upon this post the other day (haven't got a faintest idea where from I got it): <BR/><BR/>http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/jan/12/la-times-online-advertising<BR/><BR/>In the post Jeff Jarvis talks about the historic moment of LA Times now being able to fund both print and online with advertisement.<BR/><BR/>Now of course California is slightly bigger than Sweden, as is the global market tapped by Google, as referred to in Mindpark's post. But still.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if the newspapers are considering the same business model the music industry is venturing into by signing with Spotify. <BR/><BR/>After all a massive news aggregate may not be that out of bounds a thought as it could have other benefits as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757174.post-30981483988972825082009-01-18T20:28:00.000+01:002009-01-18T20:28:00.000+01:00Thx for commenting Mathias!I don't think the newsp...Thx for commenting Mathias!<BR/><BR/>I don't think the newspapers must reinvent themselves, however if one of them wants to get paid by the readers they would have to become much better relative to its peers. And that would likely be driven by a combination of more unique content and better use of technology.Henrik Torstenssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699760792850864569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757174.post-34955093833685016252009-01-18T14:13:00.000+01:002009-01-18T14:13:00.000+01:00Interesting points.I guess it's time to reinvent t...Interesting points.I guess it's time to reinvent the web-papers if we want to see a clear market leader in both technology and content. <BR/><BR/>Regarding the Spotify-invites distributed by Expressen, I don't think Spotify would approve having Expressen charge for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
