But this vision has two fundamental flaws — one psychological and one economic. The psychological flaw is that news stories and other forms of content that appear in newspapers and magazines (with very few exceptions) are not the same as music or even movies or books, in the sense that users want to keep them forever and read or watch them repeatedly, as media gurus Clay Shirky and Jeff Jarvis have also pointed out. In addition, all of that content is currently available in a completely legal way for nothing, from the websites of the content creators themselves, whereas music and movies are not. | source : gigaom.com
Examinons les propos de Steve Jobs tenus la nuit dernière pendant son interview lors de la conférence All Things Digital, organisée par le Wall Street Journal : combien d’assertions erronées et fallacieuses nous pouvons en extraire ?
“Je ne veux pas nous voir sombrer dans une nation de blogueurs. Nous avons plus que jamais besoin d’éditorial en ce moment.”
Déjà, il y a l’assertion condescendante que les blogueurs sont une espèce inférieure. C’est le genre de ressentiment qui émane souvent des natifs des rédactions récemment licenciés, qui blâment les légions de blogueurs pour les problèmes financiers de leurs anciens employeurs.
Mais il est amusant d’entendre ces propos de la part de Steve Jobs, l’ex-rebelle qui semait le désordre dans l’industrie. Jobs a une dent contre la blogosphère tech-news, qui se bat sans répit pour briser la chape de silence qu’il impose à propos des nouveautés d’Apple. | source : owni.fr
