Templinks: Media madness is hot right now

Meme Weather (memeweather) — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 00:15:34 GMT

There is so much media. My head spins and my fingers threaten to leave me. Sir what we are seeing is nothing but a global screaming contest. Going on in real time, all the time, will go on forever. Tragedy is it's limited in the form factor of your QWERTY playground. So what you do when you start losing attention? Increase the font size!

MarketWatch attention attack:

MarketWatch rational attack:

Do you think you need attention resizing to get better perspective? I sure need one.

I am so back guys! Lucky to have a consulting career which allows me to goof at my whim. I am not going to tell where I was. My girl friend doesn't want her Italian family to know about this hot dude and I promise to keep my word.

CES brings all meme-pushers to the surface. We are getting swamped with announcements. Latest one is from Yahoo. Yahoo has got a new Life called Yahoo Go 3! Are they trying to out-open opensocial? How much openness (or freedom) your average joe-the-developer can handle?

Do you notice how some resonators are using two posts to pile-on? Different perspectives but same link bait. Too much social "charity".

Templinks: CES and point-counter-point around CES is still hot

Meme Weather (memeweather) — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 01:21:18 GMT

Somebody just made my day. Not sure if this fella is a blogger or press but I liked his post. Going forward I will combine publisher type with headline word count.

The Five types of publishers on the Techmeme site:

The Original: Often where the story or idea breaks,this is the first instance of the topic being discovered.Unfortunately, this person doesn't always get the H1 spot as the leadnode.
The Breaker: This can be mainstream news sourceor a mainstream blogger that discovers the story from the Original NewsSource and blogs it, as a result, they often become the top node, evenif they arnen't the original source. It seems as if some websites arenatually geared to be an "H1$B!m(B even if they are resonators.
The Resonator: Also referred to as those who echoor copy, they repeat what was already said, adding little or noadditional content, news or opinion. You'll often see lines and linesof these in the H3.
The CounterPoint: This person often spins editorialthe opposite way of the lead story, and takes the opposite viewpoint,exploring the downsides of any viewpoint. They often become and H2, andsometimes overtake the H1.
The Encapsulator: These bloggers often summarizethe entire long thread of a discussion, listing out the point andcounterpoints and nicely creating a digest for those late to the storycan quickly catch up on.

Resonators are in trouble.

[PS: He missed collaboration between these publisher types - some resonators push encapsulator, and some breakers team up in syndicate fashion to have multiple breaks]
