So my old friend Nashville is Talking is closing down. You can read about it here , here , and here . This is a tough one for me personally.

I\'m writing this from the Admiral\'s Club at LaGuardia, as I await my transportation back to DFW. A lot of people hate LaGuardia, but I love it. It\'s nasty, old and doesn\'t have the amenities of newer airports, but this place has character like few other airports. It\'s crowded and everything is R..

There\'s a lesson in everything. Today some of the seniors at my high school decided to “prank” the campus. Roll out the TP and chickens – whoa! Chickens? Yeah. Chickens. It\'s that humdrum time of year before spring break but after the glory of winter break….kind of dull days..

Feb 05, 2010 10:51 AM from Terry Heaton\'s PoMo Blog
I have written extensively about the cultural shift to postmodernism for almost ten years now, and occasionally something pops up that cements my position. The issue of “transparency” in all walks of life is really a matter of PoMos wanting to participate in their world than it is some ..
» Are you just a node on a network?
Feb 05, 2010 10:05 AM from Terry Heaton\'s PoMo Blog
This comment to a PaidContent.org article on Belo\'s 4th quarter losses caught my attention. The report included that revenue from the TV station websites in their network was off 3.2 percent during the quarter and 5.2 percent for the whole year. That prompted the Disqus comment below: Now I know wh..
» Media 2.0 101: Continuous News is a social loop
Feb 04, 2010 1:51 PM from Terry Heaton\'s PoMo Blog
The next step for a newsroom participating in the “news as a process” business is to include the audience in the process of gathering and reporting events as they\'re occurring. This may seem obvious, but Continuous News is a continuous loop that includes consumers on a scale with which ..

Feb 03, 2010 8:12 PM from Terry Heaton\'s PoMo Blog
The new deal between Netflix and Warner Brothers (and soon to be every Hollywood studio) to not rent films until 28 days after DVD release is another clear example of a 20th Century institution refusing to accept the reality of the 21st Century. The problem here is that DVD sales have plummeted, an..

The idea of newspapers (and others?) bundling subscriptions with a free portable device is gaining traction. Here\'s Joe Zeff : Love it or hate it, the iPad remains the publishing industry’s best chance at resurrection, but only if enough consumers buy in. The price tag is the biggest obstacle — $49..

Advertising.com just released a study that says “a majority of consumers (62 percent) are viewing video online.” And it’s not just young adults watching user-generated stuff, the report says, but “69 percent are ages 35 and older with a preference for viewing news clips online.” I see this kind of ..
