Now that Apple has announced its long-awaited iPad--on the flurry of the release of a boatload of e-readers announced at the January 2010 Consumer Electronics show--it's time to assess the e-reader situation, and how or whether it will save B2B publishing.
Read this blog post in full to assess whether my predictions were accurate--and still hold true--for Apple to save B2B publishing.

I have a GPS in my phone, but there's a reason paper maps unfold over your dashboard.
Everyone seems to be falling all over themselves trying to get their content "digital" - even if just to figure out what that means. Some people (
Hearst) seem to have a couple feet already in the door. Most companies are handing their content off to third parties for conversion to proprietary formats. But how many people are consid…

Hi Everyone!
I have dreamed for so long about owning and publishing my own magazine. It's been an enigma trying to figure out how to make this dream become a reality and finding this awesome forum to interact with people of similar interest is GREAT! I cannot wait to soak up every bit and morsel of information I can find so that I make smart decisions for my magazine, which by the way will be an ethnic lifestyle/business hybrid. Right now, I am mulling over the audience development aspect--how…

I am on an airplane. It is Sunday afternoon and I should be watching the Vikings vs. the Packers. I have a 9:00AM meeting with a B2B publisher on Monday morning in New York and have to fly from Las Vegas to JFK, but the only flight available is during the first quarter of the football game. At the gate, I watched the Vikes take an early 7 to 3 lead and then I had to board the plane. My son had texted me that it was 14 to 3 by the time I was told to turn off my phone.
To my excitement, the fligh…

It took me a few years to learn this, but I know it's true:
The difference between editors and sales people is that the former say "no" while the latter say "yes."
Editors say:
No. We are not going to run your press release as is.
No. We are not going to allow you to approve the story.
No. We are not going to quote you just because you're an advertiser.
No. We are not going to write about that topic because it's irrelevant to our audience.
Sales people say:
Yes. We'll put…

I finally purchased an iPhone. Over the years I have transitioned from an early adopter to somewhat of a late adopter. I purchased one of the first PDA/cell phones in about 2000. You had to place it in a cradle on your PC, run a program and it would sync your contacts, appointments, email, and anything else you tried to sync to it. iProduction even did a few products with Post-NewsWeek Tech Media to download high tech articles onto your PDA. We received a sum of five figures from a mobile provid…

I recently interviewed a job candidate who had, in May of 2009, earned a master's degree in Magazine Publishing from Pace University. The candidate was smart, had decent real-world experience, and a real love for the industry. I'd never heard of a degree program in magazine publishing, so I was curious about how they were teaching eMedia topics.
Imagine my surprise when the candidate told me there were no courses devoted to the online channel. There are apparently courses about "technology", bu…

As Google has lifted ban on gambling PPC advertising in the UK, the decision was quick - to give a try.
Here's a quick report on my recent experience with google.
I went through all of the red tape on setting up a portal specifically for white listed sites in the UK. The requisites required me to spend a lot of time on new properties. When my portal
