HUGE! But I'm no...I'm a huge fan of Conan. HUGE! But I'm not used to watching the 10:30 slot and thus haven't caught much of his show. <br /><br />When they first announced him succeeding Leno, I was a little worried. A lot of his humor at 11:30 probably would be iffy for the 10:30 slot. Masturbating Bear? But I did hear Triumph is still on, which is great.<br /><br />I wonder if Triumph is on Twitter?Coovohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515173149807926852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778556107185533687.post-87661986205640392712009-06-26T15:36:25.545-04:002009-06-26T15:36:25.545-04:00Coov, I agree with you that it's like informat...Coov, I agree with you that it's like information overload. I often wonder if it's as much that we're generating ADD, rather than just feeding it. You can't listen to any news in any format without them pimping the 3 other ways to follow them...<br /><br />But, all content providers need money, and they get money by advertising (or in some cases by charging for premium content). A new way to deliver content means a new way to make $$, and they have to follow that path. Especially if the old way (print, TV) is declining. <br /><br />Rye, I look at Twitter's business model issue (i.e. their service is free) the same way I look at Skype. It's a cool service with a huge audience. But the audience isn't huge because there's something inherently unique or special about Twitter/Skype. It wouldn't be hard for another company to clone those apps. They got big because they're free and one of the first to fill a new niche.<br /><br />Now eventually Skype's audience got so big that e-Bay thought it was worth $1 billion or something. And basically got no value out of it and ended up selling Skype for a lot less back to the original owners (I think)...<br /><br />What would happen if Google (or pick your company) bought Twitter and started injecting ads into the feeds? Maybe that could still work, but maybe people hate the ads and jump on a clone. Just ask Friendster and Orkut and MySpace how fickle the kids are.<br /><br />I have seen a couple of Conan's shows on hulu. He brought Andy Richter back! You can view his whole show or just clips. Here's another <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/76852/the-tonight-show-with-conan-obrien-twitter-tracker" rel="nofollow">TwitterTracker</a> one. <br /><br />Conan isn't as good as Colbert, but I like his show more than Stewart, and Letterman, and 1000 times more than Leno.Rollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16904666850142252780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778556107185533687.post-23673273012696503382009-06-26T12:27:11.222-04:002009-06-26T12:27:11.222-04:00Nice posterton Rollerton. Yeah, I can't perso...Nice posterton Rollerton. Yeah, I can't personally see the whole Twitter value, but i do see stuff like you pointed out with the news, etc. That could be cool, there could be lots of "social" effects even after people calm down and stop tweeting that they're doind laundry now.<br /><br />It could also be tied into a google app to further help drive their live advertisement pushes. <br /><br />Have you guys been watching Conan on his new show at all? I used to watch him all the time late show but i haven' seen him since he took over Jay's spot.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17256070703334899567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778556107185533687.post-4163070815793686942009-06-26T09:22:42.926-04:002009-06-26T09:22:42.926-04:00Nice Conan bit Roller.

I don't want to be Debbie Downer on this whole thing but access to the world's ear one everyone's fingertips seems scary. Of course this is coming from someone whose first point of reference is wikipedia.<br /><br />News agents and tv outlets have become even more annoying in their attempts to keep up with this changing media. I watched Anderson Cooper a while back and he's like, "we're blogging throughout the whole show on CNN.com and we're now on facebook."<br /><br />Dude, I'm watching you on Tv, just tell me what you were going to blog.Coovohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515173149807926852noreply@blogger.com
