ContraFactos & Argumentos » Amor e ódio pela publicidade 'online' (com links)
Boas e más notícias marcaram esta semana o sector da publicidade online. Marc Andreessen, conhecido pela criação do browser da Netscape, defendeu que "os barcos" da imprensa tradicional "deviam ser queimados", numa analogia aos navegadores que optavam por queimar os barcos para não serem capturados e reutilizados. Se os meios tradicionais não o fizerem, alguém o fará.
O problema é quando queimar as velhas embarcações. Pela primeira vez, os anunciantes publicitários norte-americanos vão investir mais no meio on line do que impresso – uma diferença de 1,2% entre meios (119 contra 111 mil milhões de dólares) mas 10% em termos de crescimento anual para o online, segundo um estudo da analista Outsell junto de um milhar de anunciantes em Dezembro passado. No papel, um pequeno crescimento (1,9%) só vai ocorrer nas revistas.
Neste campo, um outro trabalho da Columbia Journalism Review revelou que 60% dos sites de muitas revistas (acima de 1,5 milhões de visitantes únicos) são lucrativos, com a maioria a oferecer acesso gratuito aos conteúdos, mas mais de um terço nem sequer sabe se o site é ou não lucrativo. 134 das 665 respostas afirmavam não ter a certeza, 110 não separam as receitas do papel e do online, 212 têm lucro, quase o mesmo número dos que não responderam.
A indústria da comunicação social está a mudar e, sobre esse assunto, o chief economist da Google, Hal Varian, defendeu esta semana que os jornais nunca ganharam muito dinheiro com as notícias, mostrando como o grosso dos seus lucros vêm da publicidade e dos classificados – ambos em queda -, enquanto do online ainda são minímos (apenas 5%).
Varian, como Andreessen, defende que a passagem para o online é justificada em termos financeiros, derivada dos elevados custos de produção dos títulos em papel. No entanto, revelou que 40% dos utilizadores da Internet a usam para aceder às notícias mas o tempo gasto nos sites noticiosos é de apenas 70 segundos por dia, contra 25 minutos numa edição em papel. A explicação é que os utilizadores acedem às notícias por razões profissionais e não em lazer, sendo assim "menos interessantes para os anunciantes".
Um outro "apelo" demonstrou a fragilidade da publicidade online. A revista Ars Technica demonstrou como os bloqueadores de anúncios online são "devastadores para os sites de que se gosta" e pediu aos leitores para não os usarem.
A tecnologia dos bloqueadores impede o leitor de ver anúncios – e muitos procuram esta opção – mas como alguns sites são pagos pelos anunciantes na base da exposição (pay per view), os próprios leitores acabam por os prejudicar ao não aceitar a visualização, enquanto consomem recursos (jornalísticos e acesso por banda larga) que ninguém paga. Num teste, o Ars fechou o acesso a quem usava bloqueadores e afirmou que "tecnologicamente, foi um sucesso".

Andreessen’s not-so-hot idea for publishers: The lesson is this: While there may have been no way to save Netscape after Microsoft changed the rules of the game – and there may be no way to fully defend newspapers from the countless digital competitors gnawing away at their audience and advertisers – you sure can’t transition a business to a new model by torching 90% of its existing revenue.

But how long do print media companies wait before they leave their old business behind?]

Media: PDA | guardian.co.uk » BBC tests new homepage
You can now try a public beta version of the BBC's new homepage – with playable iPlayer highlights, but without clock
The BBC gave its web users a chance to try its new homepage today. It will stay as a public beta for a while to get feedback, and test some more features – and can be accessed by a link in the top of the old homepage or here.
Apart from removing its top-of-page clock to make room for central navigation above the top stories, the new design puts more emphasis on a visual multi-media approach and allows for further personalisation.
To showcase more top stories, the new homepage displays them in a automatically changing carousel. A new horizontal navigation bar above them offers news, sport, weather, iPlayer, TV, radio and a "More"-button for all other requests.
Otherwise the structure of the homepage stays basically the same, but with more emphasis on pictures and videos. BBC iPlayer highlights can now be browsed from within the homepage, and it will introduce a new Media Zone to showcase its range of content, which will be unveiled when a user navigates the mouse over the thumbnails.
You can also follow your interests through a new Topic Tracker section. But you'll need to put in your settings afresh if you personalised the old site, because the back end has changed.
The new design was developed in a collaboration with the graphic designer Neville Brody, whose Research Studios has worked closely with the BBC in the past couple of months; we had a first glimpse of the results a few weeks ago.
BBC sources have told MediaGuardian that the new-look site is supposed to fully launch by the end of March, but there might be some delays: this is a big project. The BBC has currently about 400 top-level domains, although it's meant to drop half of these by 2012, with its £135m budget due to come down a quarter by 2013.

Media: PDA | guardian.co.uk » How will print content look on the iPad?
Print publishers are hopeful the iPad will hit the streets next month.
There are already several test examples out there. Some blend print and online as BERG's version for the innovative Swedish publishing house Bonnier shows, others ues a more online approach as the video of De Telegraaf shows.
Publishers are hoping the iPad will encourage people to read digitally with users willing to pay for content. It is also hoped that the iPad will be used more in people's leisure time so it will attract different advertisers.
A question which isn't answered is if publishers are ready to serve another platform, in a time when workforces are not getting any bigger, who is to shoulder the extra work?
Maybe the version of De Telegraaf therefore isn't the most thrilling, but the most realistic. As Robert Andrews of paidContent UK points out rightly about De Telegraaf's approach: "It only renders Telegraaf.nl's existing website on the gadget."
Have a look at the different iPad versions, and decide which one is your favorite.
1 Wired and Adobe decided to go for a deconstructed magazine version. They favored on scrolling down instead of flipping sideways, but magazine sides are still the entry point. In addition, they show some new possibilities for advertisers.
2 The Swedish publisher Bonnier R&D asked BERG to help with the transition of the print reading experience to a digital format. BERG focused on maintaining the relaxed and curated features of printed magazines, and compared to Wired it feels more like an app, indeed. In addition they invent a couple of new ways of navigation through "heating up" to select all, cut, copy and paste, among others.
3 The official iPad commercial of Apple shortly shows a really short glimpse of the New York Times application at second 0.6. Developed in house, it has also favorites a more curated feel than the website.
4 Sports Illustrated version for the iPad was one of the first and is a collaboration between Wonderfactory and Time.
5 The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf transferred its website to the iPad, however this might be the most realistic approach for most publishers in terms of work flow.
Which interactive iPad design is most convincing?

Media: PDA | guardian.co.uk » Has Twitter reached its peak?
Micro-blogging service Twitter's user growth has almost levelled off since September 2009, according to a study
Twitter’s growth seems to have lost its momentum, according to a new study.
Growth in the micro-blogging service's number of users peaked at nearly 20% last April, but had dropped down to 0.15% in December 2009, says a study by Barracuda Networks.
Recent web analytics had already suggested that Twitter had reached its peak, as Twitter.com recorded a traffic high in July 2009 and has never reached that level since. According to Compete, Twitter reached 23.5 million users in August 2009 and stayed put. However, as Twitter client applications have grown and have become a bigger percentage of Twitter's user base, the numbers didn't necessarily reflect the actual situation of the micro-blogging service. By using the growth in Twitter users, instead of the site's traffic, the Barracuda study now puts things into perspective.
Strong growth in user numbers of 21.17% in April dropped to 10.95% in July and to 0.82% in September, and has ever been under 1% since – 0.58% in October, 0.34 in November and finally 0.15 in December. The accounts deleted by month also was growing, from 3.36% in April to 12.03% in October from which they peaked off to 8.48% and 8.14% percent in November and December.
To get these figures, Barracuda analysed more than 19 million Twitter accounts for frequency and content of tweets, user-to-user interactions, and each account's overall activity level. "We have been monitoring Twitter for more than one and a half years and keep track of the public timeline, and any new account of the public timeline," says lead researcher Nidhi Shah.
Barracuda’s chief research officer, Paul Judge, explains the stagnation of Twitter with the end of "The Red Carpet Era". Twitter shows "a very concentrated growth spurt during the early part of 2009 – a period that we define as the 'Twitter Red Carpet Era'. Twitter users came online to follow their favorite celebrities. The most famous people have already joined Twitter, so I don't think they'll see another growth spurt like that," says Judge. From November 2008 to April 2009, several big celebrities, including Ashton Kutcher, Oprah Winfrey and John Mayer, joined Twitter.
In comparison, the number of Facebook users has been rising continously. According to Facebook, today 50% of the 400 million active users log on to Facebook in any given day, with more than 35 million users updating their status and more than 60 million status updates posted each day.
Another Twitter study published by US web analytics company RJMetrics last month seems to confirm Barracuda's report. It says that Twitter has 75 million users, an estimation that Barracuda roughly agrees upon, with a large percentage of accounts being inactive.
According to RJMetrics' data, about 80% of all Twitter users have tweeted fewer than 10 times, about 40% of accounts have never sent a single tweet, and 25% of accounts have no followers.
RJMetrics concludes that "the past six months have shown steady decline in the number of new account registrations", but the number of new users a month is currently at about 6.2 million. Their report doesn't say anything on the number of deleted accounts.
Twitter, which has not yet commented on the reports, recently announced that it had hit 50 million tweets a day. According to Barracuda's report, users are becoming more active on Twitter, with the most active users being those with about 1,000 followers.
According to internal documents leaked to TechCrunch, the company's forecast that it would go "from 25 million users at the end of 2009 to 1 billion in 2013".
Until now, Twitter itself has not released precise figures on its growth. Recently, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone posted an email newsletter saying that it had recorded 1,500% growth in the number of registered users but did not specify the timespan.
The reports certainly will prompt several questions. Has Twitter reached its peak? Is Twitter a micro-blogging service where only marketing people tweet to each other? Was it overhyped? How relevant is it anyway?
One thing is certain, the days of micro-blogging might not look as rosy as they did last spring, but they are far from over.
Google is giving tweets a visibility they never had before. After the launch of Google's real-time search in December, Twitter's traffic rose 9% from December 2009 to January 2010 , according to ComScore.
Twitter’s number of users may not have grown, but with the Google deal it became more important than ever.

Online Journalism Blog » Must user-generated-content threaten quality journalism?
The BBCâs User Generated Content (UGC) Hub does not further meaningful civil participation in the news, and the routine inclusion of UGC does not significantly alter news selection criteria or editorial values. So concludes Jackie Harrisonâs study on audience contributions and gatekeeping practices at the BBC.
The study found many of the previous barriers to news selection have been removed or are not applicable to UGC.
âUser generated content has been absorbed into BBC newsroom practices and is now routinely considered as an aspect of, or dimension to, many stories. In this sense the traditional barriers which formed the gatekeeping criteria of the 1990s have been altered forever.â
Harrison sees the changes to selection criteria as a real and worrying threat to quality and standards at the public broadcaster. Her study raises interesting questions about the value of UGC and how it should be measured. She fears the growing tendency to utilise audience content, often for convenience, risks an increase in âsoft newsâ at the expense of quality journalism, and worse, the degradation of public knowledge.
Harrison does not see the hub as progressing civil debate or public engagement on a meaningful level, and she anticipates future use of UCG may grow more opportunistic. This is obviously at odds with the active debate and participation the hub set out to foster, and which has dominated previous ideals of audience participation.
Selection and moderation
In an earlier study, Harrison looked at what caused some stories to be used by the BBC and others to be rejected. Here she reinvestigates these reasons in the context of UCG, finding that in many cases UCG can, if not make these previous concerns irrelevant, make the case for automatic rejection less compelling.
While the hub is subject to resource-intensive moderation, and methodical processes to ascertain UGC authenticity and quality, it is, like all news organisations, still learning how to most effectively utilise audience participation. There are growing and unresolved tensions for journalists in balancing the BBCâs traditional journalistic standards while fostering open communication, promoting free speech, and at the same time protecting the site and the audience against possible offence. Inevitably, this gives rise to judgement calls, which are necessarily subjective. Harris suggests two questions then arise from this:
Does UGC reflect public opinion and two, are they simply generating noiseâ¦of little value, and, is it a public service broadcasterâs job to provide a platform for all sorts of views including unpalatable or unpleasant âânon-majoritarianââ comment and, if it is not, why not?
BBC journalists told Harrison, âThe difficulty with opening up the floodgates to participation is that âthe full spectrumâ of opinions must be considered to further the aims of the âglobal conversationâ.â
Should we be concerned, as Harrison seems to be, that material gathered at the hub is not always deemed quality? Or does the value, as Stuart Purvis suggests, lie in the telling, the fact that new and possibly previously unheard voices are given a platform?
We are right to expect quality content from the public broadcaster, but opinions on what that means differ widely.
This can be seen in the debate between Paul Bradshaw and his students, and the BBC staff regarding UGC content and external links. It seems while hub head Matthew Eltringham spoke about the relevance of content, what he was really talking about was quality content. If the BBC opened up linking to contributors’ sites, would it have to do it for all contributors, and what kinds of complications would this pose?
The future of UGC
Perhaps we should not be viewing the growing tendency for âsoft journalismâ through UGC as a degradation in quality, but part of the evolution of the BBC. Unless of course, it does come at the cost of investigative, serious journalism, which clearly the BBC has a mandate to invest in. Harrison rightly points out the hub is only one part of the newsroom, but a part that is increasingly relied on as an additional source of information, and shared between departments at the BBC.
What the study doesnât address is how successful the UCG hub has been in engaging people who have previously not interacted with the BBC, or who have not taken part in public debate in general. I suspect it is unlikey to have encouraged society’s most voiceless. We must assume at the least, that people taking part have access to technology, which is of course, one of the major difficulties of the idea of the new electronic, egalitarian public sphere. The hub does represent a deliberate and conscious effort to seek audience interaction and better serve the public interest, though what this will mean for the BBC, and for the public, in the long-term is still unclear.
It will be interesting to see how the hub develops and where UGC has left to go. Is Harrison right in predicting it will grow more meaningless, or more drastically, has meaningful civil engagement in the news already met its untimely death, as Steve Borris declared?

Media: PDA | guardian.co.uk » Viral Video Chart: Darth Google and the invasion of the teddy bears
Google’s growth animated and digital teddy bears storming Worthing seafront in this week's roundup
“Meet Google. The noun that became a verb." That's how this little film starts, going on to list all the vast projects that the company is involved at the moment using lovely animation. Made in the style of the viral "Did you know?" videos, it gives you a pretty good impression why people call Google a "frenemy". So is Google Darth Vader? Or just a business?
Remember Charlie Brooker's parody of TV news reporting recently? Here's the American equivalent. Enjoy the Onion ripping apart up-to-the-minute coverage of some irrelevant story that has no ramifications whatsoever. Excellent – but not to be watched if you dislike strong language or dead fish.
Finally, we have teddy bears invading Worthing seafront. They hop above the streets, play with some cars, and kill some pigeons – all the stuff that you do when you are an animated teddy bear in a viral video fantasy from a rather talented young man.

Online Journalism Blog » Online Journalism lesson #10: RSS and mashups
RSS and mashupsView more presentations from Paul Bradshaw.
This was the final session in my undergraduate Online Journalism module (the other classes can be found here), taught last May. It’s a relatively brief presentation, just covering some of the possibilities of mashups and RSS, and some tools. The majority of the class is taken up with students using Yahoo! Pipes to aggregate a number of feeds.
I didn’t know how students would cope with Yahoo! Pipes but, surprisingly, every one completed the task.
As a side note, this year I kicked off the module with students setting up Twitter, Delicious and Google Reader – and synchronising them, so the RSS feed from one could update another (e.g. bookmarks being published to Twitter). This seems to have built a stronger understanding of RSS in the group, which they are able to apply elsewhere (they also have widgets on their blogs pulling the RSS feeds from Twitter & Delicious; and their profile page on the news website – built by Kasper Sorensen – pulls the latest updates from their Twitter, Delicious and blog feeds).
