Clifford Stoll: Why Web Won't Be Nirvana -...
What the Internet hucksters won’t tell you is tht the Internet is one big ocean of unedited data, without any pretense of completeness. Lacking editors, reviewers or critics, the Internet has become a wasteland of unfiltered data. You don’t know what to ignore and what’s worth reading. Logged onto the World Wide Web, I hunt for the date of the Battle of Trafalgar. Hundreds of...

The EFF attorneys filed their counterclaim in that case Monday, raising defenses previously raised by some other defendants including fair use; unclean hands and barratry (the alleged excessive incitement of litigation); and champerty (an allegedly improper relationship between one funding and one pursuing a lawsuit). The EFF also raised new allegations against Righthaven, accusing it of...

If big publishers like the NYT and Condé Nast ultimately fail, it’s not going to be because technology caused the market to shift. It will be because the management of these companies were too distracted to adapt to the changing market. via aphotoeditor.com Via the comments at APE. So very true.

4. Be human. Write like you talk and put your name on it. Tell a story, a true one, one that resonates. 5. Use third party comments and testimonials to establish credibility. Use a lot of them. Make sure they’re both interesting and true. via sethgodin.typepad.com Yep… read all of Seth’s ideas about an about page, then take a look at the LE page on About Pages for...

What is the biggest marketing mistake you see photographers often making? Hands down, giving away the high resolution files or selling them for a very low price. If you give away the files for $1000, you will never have a sale over $1000. Price the files according to your sales goal or sell them at $x after a $x sale. Those files have huge value… they are everything. If you are pricing them...

Crowdsourcing is tainted so let’s gift it to corporations for their Power Point presentations. It belongs to those who use the millennium’s broad bandwidth of human connection to capture creative innovation for personal or corporate profit. It’s Jargon. Crowdsourcing is using the innovation of a crowd with similar interests to further a cause. Ultimately, in most cases, this means financial...

The myth of the death of the HDSLR and creativity
I firmly believe that the fact will remain that for a much lower cost of entry anyone with talent can pick up a tool that, with some limitations that can be worked around, produce professional content that can work on TV or even the big screen. That pros are using these tools currently serves to reinforce that fact. If you have talent, you now have the means to produce work that can go...

In the meantime, Exposure 3 offers several Polaroid presets, for Type 669, Polapan, and other Polaroid stock. My favorite of all is “669 Creamy Blown Highlights.” Those were the days. via prophotoresource.com Grey examines a new set of plugins from Alien Skin designed to make a clean representation of the film stocks so many of us grew up with. Interesting. Posted via email from...

iPHONE PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN IN SOUTH CAROLINA I know that many of you may not want to have a new phone account. I know I don’t. And as I said, I am very happy with my Android at T-Mobile. However, you can get some older 2G iPhones for about $100 and there are 3G iPhones out there for around $150 - $200. I just got a (new to me) 3G from someone who was upgrading to the 4G. I love it.

25 Things I’ve Learned in my 25 Years
There will always be someone better or more talented than you. All you can do is try to work harder or be more charismatic. Never do something for someone because you expect something in return. You have to do it because it fulfills you. Chances are they won’t reciprocate. Don’t be afraid to ask. The worst they can say is no. Be your own cheerleader. Usually no one else will be. People...

It’s been almost 15 years since Tom Peters wrote “The Brand Called You” for Fast Company and in that time the idea of “Personal Branding” has gone from the height of douchebaggery to an inevitable consideration for anyone in the mediation generation. Once you begin to extend yourself via media, you become aware that by broadcasting your life through media fragments, you are creating an idea of...

Top 5 Ways to Market Your Business With LinkedIn |...
LinkedIn is the most powerful social networking site to help you grow your business. It makes Twitter, Facebook and YouTube seem like social networking sites for kids. If you want to hang with the big players—a place where connections are made, leads are generated, and deals go down—then you need to spend more of your time on LinkedIn. Although other sites have their purpose in the business...
Three Questions for Those Who Support Micro-Stock
Just so we are all straight, I do not think that microstock has been a good thing for anyone. Period.Well, except Getty. So I have three questions for microstock supporters:1. In what way has Microstock been a plus to the business of photography? (And here I mean the Business of Photography - not the ability to make a few bucks for those who couldn’t before.) 2. In what way would Microstock...
