- Events: John attended the New Media Expo in Las Vegas where he met Paolo Tosolini of Microsoft.
- CORRECTION: Oops. Wizzard Media did NOT release an iPhone podcatcher at NME. They’ve offered a browser-based “receiver” for awhile now. They introduced a new video player at NME.
- OMG! Steve got an iPhone! We discuss the consumption model for apps, digital media and the deplorable battery life.
- Kris and Chia-Lin still cling to their Treo 700p phones
- Steve wonders if we’ll see the same kind of excitement and adoption of the iPhone from other handset makers and ecosystems. Kris thinks Google Android.
- Royalty rate hikes may shut down Pandora. Last.fm may not have the same issues since they are owned by CBS and the media giant already pays the appropriate royalties.
- Steve loves Simplify Media on the iPhone which gives him the ability to stream his iTunes library to his phone…along with 30 other friends. John thinks that might extend beyond “Fair Use.”
- A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that copyright holders must consider the potential “fair use” of their works before sending copyright takedown notices to online video sites. How novel…
- When will the strong arm tactics of these industry groups come to an end? Never. They’ll just morph.
- Kris wonders why a service like Magnatune hasn’t had a greater impact in terms of changing the way record labels conduct business. Ditto for CD Baby.
- Microsoft contracts with Jerry Seinfeld to stump for Windows Vista…along with Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates.
Paolo is responsible for the Podcasting Kit for Sharepoint which was recently made available as open source software. We debate the combination of Sharepoint + Open Source + Enterprise Adoption.

- Yahoo announced a deal to sell display ads….on Walmart.com(?) Chia-Lin thinks it’s the digital equivalent of shelving fees.
- According to the data, YouTube is still kicking Hulu’s ass, regardless of what Mark Cuban thinks. Regardless, we want to know how Youtube and Hulu are going to monetize their respective businesses. Would Hulu consider a paid subscription model?
- YouTube is going to start allowing long-form content (videos above 30 minutes). Scoble thinks they want to insert advertising in the longer stuff. We agree.
- Gary Vaynerchuk’s Wine Library TV moves over to Revision3.
- Verizon will be pushing its FiOS service to 50 mbps downstream, 20 mbps upstream. For $139.95 a month!

- EMI is not only suing MP3Tunes.com, but its founder, Michael Robertson, personally.
- Microsoft has decided to support MSN Music customers (and the related DRM) until - at least - the end of 2011. They’ll revisit their decision at that time.
- Audible files will soon play on the Zune.

- John’s Netflix Roku box has shipped. We’ll discuss it next week.
- Amazon Unbox will shortly release its streaming video service. Steve has been testing it.
- Gary Vaynerchuk (twitter: @garyvee) is everywhere and a model of what new media producers and content owners can do with flexible licensing and distribution terms
- Jaman and Real Time Content are working together to produce a FaceBook application
Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

]]>- John and Ken attended Jeff Pulver’s Social Media Breakfast
- Ken attended the Web 2.0 Meetup in NYC
- John is planning to attend the Conversational Marketing Summit in NYC on June 9th and 10th
- Roku and Netflix release a set-top box that supports the Netflix video-on-demand service. (John is awaiting its arrival to Federico HQ.) The service provides access to 10,000 of Netflix’s 100,000 title library, providing Netflix subscribers maintain an $18.99/month service level. Ken and Chia-Lin think that John will be disappointed by the selection. Ryan Block gives it a relatively positive review.
- Ken wants to see simultaneous release of films in the theater, on cable, on-demand and DVD. John tells him to keep dreaming…
- Online TV advertising is no longer an afterthought in the TV Upfront
- CBS buys CNET for $1.8 billion
- Ars Technica was bought by Conde Nast for $25 million and will be merged with the Wired properties.
- Microsoft will provide rebates to consumers who find and purchase products using MSN Search
- Twitter receives a $15 million investment round. We all wonder what the business model might be, but it’s undeniable that there’s passion for the service. John calls it the “back channel of the internet” while Ken likens it to the web 2.0 version of “the crawl” on television.

- Microsoft still intent on acquiring Yahoo. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
- Yahoo earnings grow 9%; Microsoft earnings down. Maybe they should focus, eh?
- Apple earnings up. Mac sales up 40% and the iPhone is still selling strong.
- AT&T seeems waaaay behind in its rollout of its 3G wireless network. Could that be why Apple waited to release a 3G iPhone? Verizon’s rollout of EV-DO is so much more compelling. We discuss Apple’s release of a CDMA iPhone at some point in the future. Japan? U.S. grey market?
- DOH! Microsoft discontinues DRM support for music purchased from MSN Music. Microsoft should read Seth Godin’s “Small is the New Big.”
- The Death Knell sounds for the MSN Spot Watch
- Sony buys GraceNote for $260 million. The company plans to integrate the service with its own products and services.
- Podcast audience up 87% among rock radio listeners (?)
- Podshow is now Mevio. Next story…
- eBay to sell Skype - to Google? A Skype client for Android?

]]>- Events: Podcamp NYC is on April 25th and 26th at Brooklyn Polytechnic University. As a result of Daddy Duty, John can’t attend this year. Ken will be in Baltimore with his in-laws for Greek Easter and Steve is just a dork. Ken is attending the San Fran Music Tech Summit on the 8th, 9th and 10th. Steve will probably attend Web 2.0 in San Francisco on April 22 - 25. John is planning to attend the Conversational Marketing Summit on June 9th and 10th in NYC. (Congratulations to John Battelle & Co. on the close of their recent round of venture financing.)
- The Podcast Audience grew 40% in one year according to a study by Arbitron-Edison Media.
- New York passes “The Amazon Tax” which mandates that all ecommerce providers must collect New York State sales tax for items being shipped to the state - a hefty 8.25%. California however, has rejected a similar tax.
- John is searching for treatment for a new maladay called “Twitter Fatigue.” We talk about twitter, twitter tools (FriendFeed, SocialThing, AlertThingy), the types of twitter spam, etc.
- By the way: how is twitter going to make money? Why is it that twitterific can insert advertising into your twitter stream and generate revenue from it but twitter can’t - or just doesn’t? Steve points out that Pownce inserts advertising.
- Ken was introduced to twitter by the CEO of MatchMine, Mike Troiano (twitter: @miketrap)
- If you have a jailbroken iPhone, check out twinkle - a native twitter client that inserts your location into your twitter posts using the iPhone’s location services.
- The Quest for Yahoo continues, this time with new crusaders: AOL, Google, and now a combined Microsoft-News Corp bid. We remain confused.
- AOL’s Platform A is the top advertising network by reach.
- Blockbuster to buy Circuit City. Like most people, we wonder WTF they’re thinking. Oh yeah, and they’re going to offer set top box for streaming video. Again: WTF?
