An Insight Into the Future of Publishing from Adweek

Check out the interesting backstory from @bmorrissey at Adweek on their "Real-Time Cannes" program. Here's the key quote:

We thought of how so often in the past we’ve been forced to make material fit in containers of the past. A few interesting remarks at a seminar were either a 500-word news story or something that remained in our notebook. An hour and a half meeting would end up yielding a quote in the magazine story.

They built it fast, outside of their corporate boundaries, and with a "will it work?" mindset. Innovate or die tryin'.

Gillmor: Only the Beginning

Only the Beginning.from Steve Gilmor. Whenever i read his stuff, i always get his passion, and get that what he's talking about it important (most of the time), but i'm never exactly sure *what* he's saying. I'll keep reading though.

The gist of the linked article:
  • Friendfeed is redesigning; Gillmor got to see it first
  • It's going to be a big change
  • Real-time info is more important than we first thought
  • Its going to be exciting.
