The other day I posted a video explaining Twitter, the newest internet phenomenon.
This video tutorial is better. David Pogue on the NY Times website.
I believe the NY Times will survive. They have been innovators exploring ways to keep and grow their marketshare of readers. This video is a good example of how to do that.
The Rocky Mountain News, one of Denver’s major newspapers, declared bankruptcy last Friday. That’s the largest paper to go down in the USA, so far.
The “old” model of the newspaper business cannot survive, depression or no depression. It’s simply too expensive compared with online competition.

I, however, still love the morning newspaper. I have recently had to cancel my subscription – not due to the economy, but rather due to my lack of time to sit and read it as I did before. A baby does that in ones life. I miss my Sunday load of newspaper (I know, shame on you Dana, killing trees) and hope that they will survive. It is not the same, reading the news on the net – the coffee and paper at the kitchen table or on the deck outside is a little piece of morning bliss.
