When I think about too much content out there, one of the things that comes to mind for me is just the volume of really outstanding creators there are.
Piracy is almost always a service problem.
I don't tend to watch TV. I'm like a Netflix junkie. I watch a lot of documentaries and movies on Netflix. I like 'Downton Abbey.'
The subscription model of buying music is bankrupt. I think you could make available the Second Coming in a subscription model and it might not be successful.
It's just as valuable to curate content as it is to create it.
There will always be storytelling, whether it's on the big silver screen, or it's your television or your iPhone or whatever, people will keep on telling stories.
The future of advertising is the Internet.
I am not one of the new media experts working all the time with my computers and the PowerPoints and things of that sort.
Ebooks had to happen.
Content is power in today's world, and if you can own that content, create it and make interaction more of an experience than a transaction, you create a different kind of loyalty.
Blogs are for anoraks who couldn't get published any other way.
I'm a big consumer of media and content online.
I remember having 100 views on a video and being like, "I don't have a hundred friends." So that was a moment.
I don't have a TV licence. I don't watch except on catch-up.
I love a good Netflix binge!
I do everything through Twitter, YouTube or the Internet somehow.
I believe that by releasing "passing interest/low keepsake-value literature" from the burden of physicality, you are actually releasing the words from their worst liability: the price and inconvenience of actual bookness.
Stay the course and keep building an integrated Apple ecosystem of iPhone + iPod + iMac + iTunes + App Store + Apple TV. No one has yet demonstrated they understand how to create an 'experience-based ecosystem' as well as Apple.
To my fellow creators, wholeheartedly, I am sorry I brought shame upon the platform. I promise I will do the community well and keep on trucking and bring light to YouTube.
Our core market has been historically gamers and digital content creators such as car designers and movie makers.
Newspapers and magazines are vanishing. But science writers are not. In fact, they are becoming so adept and varied that I hardly have time to read 'Gawker' anymore.
We're a content company. And if we create the best content, every distributor will want what we have.
The thing that concerns me most is that, in the digital age, if we fail to make efforts to maintain the value of our content, there is the high possibility for the value to be greatly reduced, as the history of the music industry has shown.
TV and appointment viewing is a thing of the past for the youth.
'Dependent web' platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Google and Yahoo are where people go to discover and share new content. Independent sites are the millions of blogs, community and service sites where passionate individuals 'hang out' with like-minded folks. This is where shared content is often created.
