Maybe I'm naive, but I always assumed this is what they meant and was surprised by the outrage.

Metrics.

Strange how difficult this is for some. Carr is right, they can't gag people. But to let people go would be to give up on the false brand they've built for themselves over all these years.

Seems like this is the only model that will keep GlobalPost alive for now.

We could be right in there.

Kind of a nifty little tool. LIVE WEB, people, live web.

You know when they're saying it's good news that revenue is *only* dropping 25% year over year things are pretty fucked up.

That would be fun!

This guy is very smart.

This description of Wave seems like a amped up version of how we use Skype at TPM. Pretty awesome.

Good for them. Will help them to feel out the web audience.

Big media trend in '09: bigger, splashier, web-native ad units. Now for the long tail!

Clusterf**k media.
How many media organizations does it take to establish that the President thinks Kanye West is a jackass?
Well, the President made the comment while waiting to start doing an interview with CNBC (1). ABC (2) reporter Terry Moran posted the comment to Twitter (3), but immediately deleted it because he realized that it was supposed to be off the record. Two reporters from Politico (4) saw the tweet before it was deleted and published it for the world to see. So, Moran apologized to CNBC and the White House, as reported by another reporter from Politico (4.5).
But what’s a tweet? That’s not confirmation! TMZ (5) was able to get the audio and posted it for all to listen. Then Ben Smith of Politico (see 4, 4.5) was able to get the video and post that on Brightcove (6)! But Joe Weisenthal of Silicon Alley (7) noticed that Smith quickly took it down! But don’t worry! CNN (8) grabbed the video before Politico pulled it down and TPM (9) grabbed the CNN video and uploaded it onto YouTube (10) for the world to see. Why did Politico pull it down? Gawker (11) was on the case.
So the answer is eleven. Eleven media organizations and something like a dozen individual reporters.
Welcome to the future!

When a HuffPo exec says "only half of our traffic is to politics," I wish the reporter would ask "how much of that other half is nipple slips?"

Nifty.

Wow, that's a lot of dough.
