How Industries Fail (and who could be next)
- zandorg 17y agoHe mentions Last.FM as an example of 'Not getting it' - but CBS bought that. So in that at least, his argument is flawed.
- swolchok 17y agoHe mentions that "you can implement personalized PageRank on a small cluster of computers", but from a business perspective, you probably can't do it because PageRank is patented.

- zandorg 17y agoTechnical news has NEVER been that good in the mainstream papers. It's always been in niche magazines.
- sfphotoarts 17y ago"Part of the reason it’s grown is because TechCrunch’s reporting is some of the best in the technology industry, comparable to, say, the technology reporting in the New York Times." - not sure I would ever use TC as an example of good technology reporting. And using the example of a stock photo saves money is just ridiculous, of course they are cheaper, but I wonder if instead of iran protesters being actually photographed, we saw a stock photo of generic protesters that would have quite the same impact. This is just an gross over simplification of the situation as industries changes and times dictate new solutions to old problems.
