What if newspapers had just been invented?

Malcolm Gladwell is not normal, as anyone who reads him knows. He’s a thinker who thrives in escaping current ways of processing the world we live in. In this interview he displays his contrarian thinking — What if newspapers had just been invented, and the news had always come from your laptop? And he also reveals one of his secrets — he doesn’t use Google because everyone else has access to it, and contrary to what some believe, most information is not available to Google. He prefers the library.

Paper is not dead!

This is from an interview at yesterday’s National Association of Broadcasters 2009 convention.

Spend a little time with Biz Stone and Evan Williams, two Twitter founders, via Kara Swisher’s (WSJ’s Boomtown) interview. Note the nice art direction with the bird sitting on Mr. Stone’s head.

She also toured their HQ. Nice digs and nice guys.

Thanks Kara! Boy these lines are blurring — newspapers /video /broadcast / blogs /Twitter, etc. Old media functions with new media tools. We need some new words to describe what’s happening.

KRON in San Fransicso reported on a new idea bubbling up at the San Francisco Chronicle — reading your newspaper on your computer. Imagine such a thing!

They called it the ‘telepaper’ and didn’t think they would make money. But they also thought they ‘wouldn’t loose a lot either.’ Good reporting KRON! — who now covers news on the internet itself.

Stephan Rothman who writes the blog Steve’s Social Media Soapbox Twittered a link to this video. Thanks Steve!

It there a circle forming here?
