]]> Comment on Paper.Li Looks Good on Paper, but… by Michael Durwin http://www.mdurwin.com/2010/12/paper-li-looks-good-on-paper-but/comment-page-1/#comment-2190 Michael Durwin Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:45:37 +0000 http://www.mdurwin.com/?p=675#comment-2190 Paper.li is certainly a great service for content consumers, but from a content creator standpoint, not so much. Think about this: say you are a graphic designer. You create a lovely portfolio to show off your work. Then, another design company embeds your design screenshots on their site, gives you a little credit. Visitors are seeing the work and assuming it's theirs.

]]> Comment on Paper.Li Looks Good on Paper, but… by Marian http://www.mdurwin.com/2010/12/paper-li-looks-good-on-paper-but/comment-page-1/#comment-2179 Marian Thu, 10 Nov 2011 10:48:41 +0000 http://www.mdurwin.com/?p=675#comment-2179 I came across this post because I was today mentioned in a paper.li tweet by someone else and I wondered what it was all about. Having looked into it at first I saw on a paper.li paper an excerpt from an article I had written and a link back to that article. For me I feel that this is not a problem. Paper.li does not display the whole article so if anyone wanted to read it they would have to click on the link and go to my article where my ads are served (some of the time). OK so there are ads served on the paper.li site but the page has a whole lot of articles so it is difficult to say that any ad revenue there is taking away from anyone else in particular. I think these sites could be quite useful to someone who is looking for news on a particular topic, especially if it is something specialised that they would have to search for otherwise. Anyway, it is yet to be seen if the big guns object to this 'scraping' but for me and extra link to my content, with only a teaser sentence, is fine.

Major players such as Radio Shack and Best Buy are now offering trade-in plans (not worth the upfront $) and/or in-store trade-ins to spur new sales. There is also an entire trade-in/sales/repair "aftermarket segment." Regional players with combo brick and mortar and online stores, such as 1800Fix.com (www.1800Fix.com) can extend the life of people's tech devices, offer devices at prices that are affordable, and make "bad ROI" warranty and/or cellphone insurance offerings obsolete.

Endorsement Transparancy. by Michael Durwin http://www.mdurwin.com/2011/03/yes-im-selling-this-endorsement-transparancy/comment-page-1/#comment-2095 Michael Durwin Fri, 19 Aug 2011 13:14:48 +0000 http://www.mdurwin.com/?p=810#comment-2095 Update: Ashton Kutcher and Details magazine have recently come under fire for not disclosing that Ashton is an investor in many of the companies of hawks in their "Social Issue" publication. While this is focused on investment and a traditional media organization, it's not hard to believe that the FTC and SEC are trying to figure out if and how celebrities and online personalities should be held responsible for the endorsements they give, how they give them and how they are disclosed.
