@trolltrip Then you are absolutely 100% not the target audience. t.co/8j7BmHYRZ…

@Cyberwest Yup. That’s exactly the positive note I tried to finish (Finnish?) on…


@BethAshton My wife is 1000% better at this stuff than I am, but still suffers from the assumption by tradespeople that she needs to consult with me.

This, by ⁦@attesakari⁩ via ⁦@CharlieBeckett,⁩ is fascinating research into predicting the value of a news story to a publishing business. blogs.lse.ac.uk/polis/2020/02/…

This is why seemingly geeky details like having a CMS that supports choosing different images for social is so critical. Publishing tools and sensitivity to where your content goes both matter. twitter.com/JaneBSinger/st…


This is really exciting news.

Genuinely.

No, I’m not being sarcastic. I’m having a mid-life crisis and I’ve decided to go all in on conservation and the environment rather than buy a sports car or run off with a younger woman.

Love this; both laugh out loud funny and thought-provoking. twitter.com/estwebber/stat…


@SophieWarnes @omandhb Well, I’m trying to structure it so I’m doing what I was before for free - but I’m doing more (and better) if you pay for it. So, not removing anything, but adding more, if you want it, and are prepared to pay.


@SophieWarnes @omandhb Mind you, I leapt on the chance to make it my job when I became @ReedBusinessInf’s head of blogging in 2006.


@SophieWarnes @omandhb Then I launched @omandhb in 2003 specifically because I want to talk about journalism and internet issues in a more public-facing way than Livejournal allowed. I had a decent job so money was less an issue than fun.


@SophieWarnes @omandhb The blogging? Originally, in 2001, because the idea of being able to publish whatever I wanted without permission from an editor was utterly seductive. (That might be hard to understand from a 2020 perspective, when it’s commonplace).


@SophieWarnes I have spent literally months and months of unpaid time over two decades writing @omandhb. Now, indirectly that has led to me being able to sustain a career as a self-employed consultant. So, one question to ask: is there non-financial benefit to me?

But then, if I want to devote more time to creating stuff like this, I need to make it pay. Information wants to be free. Information wants to be expensive. Understanding that struggle is crucial to understanding digital media. (2/3)


It’s also being played out in me as I build out the member offering on @omandhb. (3/3)

Stay on target, Adam. Stay on target.


The challenge of building up a paid members section of your site as a really long-term blogger is when you write something really good for the members, and you kind of want to make it free for everyone. Because readers. I like my stuff being read. (1/3)

@paulwtrueman Genuinely laughed out loud. Thank you.
