Robin Good's Master New Media: Online Publishing Business Models: How Free And Paid Approaches Do Complement Each Other

    In my sites in Italy I give quick news on laws, linking the original document to let users go inside the news.

    I can agree with Aaron Wall, but in my little experience for the writer and for the reader this could became a reality show.

    If I have to ask for people to follow me, i try to joke with my readers. And i'm not professional.

    If i am too professional, many readers won't follow me. Or I can mix them.

    I agree totally in what Aaron Wall writes if i think his sentences inside a community.

    In these days with great report about adsense, is really hard to think without it. But for this reason is a must everyone should do.

    Widgets, videos, twitter, mobile, web2.0, semantic web: it seems to me everyone has the elements to do a great pizza, but only from "Gennaro's pizzeria" we can find a good one.

    It makes pizza. It sells pizza. We manage ideas, phrases, experiences. No tomato on our work, but links with people we don't know.

    Singers are doing their businesses with a song of 3 minutes, written with many professionals. They sell the songs and plays them in live concerts.

    We finally see money from ads. Can we fly with our ideas or we must not to miss the money ?

    I need a "moscato di pantelleria" (italian wine) to think it better.

    Certainly there are too much news. And a great part of our lives is digital. But I can't live without ... spaghetti ... and friends around a table.

    Perhaps the only thing we have not do to is not think to everything we could do, but emphasize only what others like from us.

    "in italiano: forse dovremme smettere di pensare che su internet possiamo fare di tutto. Forse dovremmo semplicemente pensare di fare ancora meglio quello per cui gli altri ci cercano".

    Wow. I have followed your writing for years Robin and am a bit stoked to see you mention me (especially in such a good light). Thanks for that! You just made my day.

    Aaron, the pleasure is all mine.

    I would have never thought you could have been a reader of mine! :-)
    That's wonderful.

    I have discovered you very late and have had great feelings when reading some of your articles. Would love to get to know you better and to exchange on our projects and ideas.

    Ciao Aaron!
