  • AP puts money into Verve — Verve provides mobile services for news companies. I don’t get why media firms wouldn’t just bring this in-house, although a third-party platform may be useful, like Brightcove is for video, etc. This alone will not save newspapers.
  • Webcasts are boring — I’m glad I’m not the only one not on the newspaper Webcast bandwagon.
  • China now largest user of Web — The behemoth grows larger and the implications are huge. With more users, China may slowly push how the Web grows, albeit behind a big stone wall.
  • MPAA to create online guide for legit places to download movies Industry research indicates many struggle with differentiating legitimate sources from illegal ones. The more tech savvy of us “scoff,” but it is plausible.
  • Yahoo to reimburse users for DRM-protected music — somehow — Another DRM scheme fails
  • College textbooks being pirated Quote the NYT: “THE e-book is wrapped with digital rights management, which, history indicates, will be broken sooner or later…”
