A. Top ten: (no particular order)
Ned Sherman's growing platform for fair,
honest, open communication about
digital media.
Paul Brindley and Toby Slater's UK
counterpart, but a global must read of
its own.
The slickest source for a once over on
the digital media happenings of the day.
Follow the money, especially the seed
money, in Silicon Valley.
If you're following digital media,
following Gerd is a good idea.
The most comprehensive world view
of digital media news.
Fred Wilson is the keenest observer
of the digital media money market,
and his blog practices what he
preaches -- he experiments with ads
and new media approaches. A must
read.
Joi's Japan-based global view is
cutting-edge and he lives a life
observed through his almost constant
Internet presence.
Clay Shirky is the sharpest new
media critic alive.
10. www.lefsetz.com
Lefsetz speaks from the gut, and we
all need to listen to our gut every now
and then.
B. Second top ten:
Experiences -- there so much more
to do with digital media than just read
about it. Here's a top ten guide to good
digital media exercises:
1. Daily, read www.boingboing.net.
Yes, it's a good read, and maybe it
should be in category A above. But
it's an experience, and it shows how
a tight community of folks can grow
to a media company grossing a
figure reported to be approaching
a million a year.
2. Buy a digital camera or use the one
that is likely in your phone and upload
the photos to an account you create
on www.flickr.com.
3. Buy a digital video camera, record video
and upload it to a social video site like
4. Every day, read http://online.wsj.com
and www.nytimes.com. They're more than
a great source of information and reading.
They are metaphor for the larger issue,
examples of a profitable new media
approaches from two grey old-timers
of print journalism.
5. Get an XM and/or Sirius radio, or
subscribe to them on-line. It's deeper
in music (XM) and broader in community
and free speech (Sirius) than radio dares.
6. Actually use as much of the suite
of Google offerings as possible. Create
a blog, track it with Google Analytics,
promote it with AdWords, maybe even
use AdSense to throw in some ads, all
keyed on a Gmail account.
7. Try eBay and Craigslist, to name a few
very different community-created social
e-commerce enterprises.
It's all about the interface, the program guide,
the human interaction with the programming
grid, so here are three important exercises:
8. Download, install the free iTunes software
(PC or Mac) and try using it to manage your
audio, video, podcasts and webcasts. This is
the current standard for listening to podcasts,
webcasts or managing audio or video.
9. Try computers with different operating
systems -- if a Mac user, try a Windows
and Linux machine, and so on. The
different operating systems are interesting
media interface experiences.
10. Use a Tivo (or another DVR) for at least
a month. Try TitanTV, especially if you have
a PC TV tuner.
C. Final and third top ten: Mobile
Get a wireless internet communicator
of some kind (the new Apple looks
nice, but for now I like wifi enabled
cell phones with keyboards, like the
Nokia E61, although the Cingular
offering of a wifi-less E62 could be
OK with an unlimited data account)
and try this top ten:
1. Use Google mobile services
2. Install mobile CNN
3. Try mobile Flickr
4. Try handheld Skype
5. Use another VOIP service, especially
6. Install RSS, use it on your mobile device
7. Get your e-mail on the portable device:
Profimail, Blackberry, Goodmail, there
are many good choices.
8. Install Mobile Opera browser
9. Use GPS services if your device can
support them
10. Use webcasting on your mobile device,
audio and video.
