Some more mini-Tidbits...
Maps + News = YourStreet (TechCrunch): "What do you get when you combine Google Maps with hyper-local news and comments? You get a map-based news site called YourStreet, which officially launches Nov. 1."
Visitors to U.S. newspaper Web sites rise (Reuters): "Net users spent an average about 43 minutes per month on newspaper Web sites, up four percent over the same period a year ago. This is an important measure for advertisers who want to see that people are spending time on Web pages that contain their ads."
Online Marketers Joining Internet Privacy Efforts (New York Times): "AOL is setting up a new Web site to link consumers directly to opt-out lists run by major ad networks. This will ensure that people's preferences are not erased later. But AOL will try to persuade people to share some personal data."
Privacy Groups Call for Do-Not-Track List (PC World): "A coalition of nine privacy and consumer groups have proposed a U.S. do-not-track list that would allow consumers to opt out of advertising efforts that track their movements online."
Mid-career professionals can help lead the way to a new era (Howard Owens): "The people I affectionately call the 'gray hairs' (I have a few myself), are eager for new challenges and are excited by what they're learning online. They are more realistic about the challenges we face. The cub reporters, not so much."
Industry Standard to Be Reincarnated as a Blog (New York Times Bits Blog): "Today, Bob Carrigan, president of IDG, confirmed reports that it will bring The Standard back. But this time, it will be a blog, mixing content written by editors with contributions by readers."
Net Neutrality (Rules For The Revolution): Great podcast on the current state of network neutrality. Even though it's a lawyer interviewing a wonk, they do a great job of explaining the "so what" of this seemingly arcane but very important issue in plain English.
Izea.com: the future of PayPerPost is here (Simple Kind Of Life): "As of tomorrow, PayPerPost, Inc. will be officially known as Izea. It's less about getting paid per post, and more about social media and marketing all coming together. On Nov. 10 Izea's new service (code name: Argus) will be released."
Consumer groups rage against the institution (Terry Heaton): "What needs to happen is that the media and advertising worlds have to start paying attention to the people who are running away from them. How about talking with the targets instead of trying to hit them?"
