Thanks so much to you, the 50+ media service developers, Media Web innovators and entrepreneurs, birdbuilders and birdwatchers who came to the first Media Web Meet-up. I’ll post video from the meet-up just as soon as we polish in post-production.

Special thanks to Mike Linksvayer of Creative Commons for first an overview of CC’s lawyer- and machine-readable Some Rights Reserved licenses, services and software followed by a compelling State of the Union update of music on the Web. I’ll link to his slides as soon as they’re posted.

Mike also mentioned that Creative Commons is fundraising and offering a limited edition, smirk-worthy tshirt:

Also my thanks to Tara and crew from Citizen Agency for driving this and future Media Web Meet-ups. Thanks to our operations crew Sharon and Marion for producing another flawless event!

As mentioned, a supporting OpenMediaWeb.org web site is forthcoming. I’ll blog its launch.

chirps,
Rob

MWM:RNR FTW!!!!!!!

We’re going to be hosting the first in a series of Media Web Meet-ups at the nest de nouveau next Tuesday, November 13th from 1pm to 3pm.

Check out the Upcoming invite, or head on over to the Facebook event and RSVP.

This first talk is entitled “Rock’n'Rebirth” and will be given by Mike Linksvayer, CTO of Creative Commons. He’s going to be riffing on a variety of topical music issues: Radiohead & Madonna, the rise of DRM-free music stores, and of course, media on the Web and how Creative Commons fits into everything. After his talk, we’ll have a bunch of free and open discussion about the free and open Media Web.

(It’s gonna be a rockin’ event, we’ve got 83 confirmed guests via Facebook, and 30 via Upcoming - but the nest has plenty of room for more, so RSVP and come on by!)

Apple and the Media Web, Part I

By roblord roblord Sep 17, 2007 1:26 pm

Om Nom Nom Nom

As both Fake Steve Jobs and the real Steve Jobs charismatically attest, Apple handily dominates the Internet digital media commercial markets of music, mobile players (e.g., iPods, iPhone, etc.) and increasingly audiobooks, music videos, TV shows, movies and other segments. Apple has more market-share than all of its competitors combined. And Apple achieved their enviable position by the book, as Ian Rogers points out, by innovating and marketing better than its competitors.

Well, mostly by the book. Apple latest generation of iPods, for example the iPod classic, are hindered with new cryptography that prohibits syncing your music, podcasts, audiobooks, movies and TV shows to your iPod if you choose to use any software other than Apple’s own iTunes. Ouch.

Fake Steve Jobs

Birdwatchers with an eye on the Media Web’s future should follow The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs blog authored by Fake Steve Jobs. His Fakeness routinely channels Jobs inner monologue wrt the Apple iTunes Store + iTunes + iPod/iPhone market and architecture domination.

Thursday Night Special

With Popcorn!

Head over to the Culture Bully and get ready for a drubbing. Blogger Chris DeLine says he’ll try and hit you every way he can. I caught up to him recently to get more on the Culture Bully.

SB: Why did you start your blog? Is it an “Mp3 Blog” a “Music Blog” a “Media Blog” or just a “Blog”?

CB: Well, for a while it was just a personal blog, using it as a
platform to share my thoughts, stories about my friends and myself and all sorts of those types of things. Slowly over time though I moved closer and closer towards talking about music and a few other humor-related things on the site exclusively. Is it an mp3 blog? Absolutely, but it’s also a music blog, a media blog and a personal blog…there’s a bit of everything depending on the post.
