Posted at blog titled Publishing 2020 blog by Joe Wikert. The post discusses about a Safari Books like model for magazines too. Joe Wikert is the General Manager & Publisher at O'Reilly Media Inc.
The blog post says (quote) -I'm talking about a service that starts by providing access to all the magazine content on the planet. It would be delivered wirelessly to my various devices (Kindle,iPhone, MacBook Pro, etc.) and I'd (gladly!) pay a monthly fee for it. What I'm describing is fairly close to the Safari Books Online model, only applied to magazines, not books.(unquote)

2.Blog Topic - Ideals and Business Models
Post at Really Simple Sidi blog by Rafael Sidi. The blog post discusses about ideals and business models. Rafael Sidi is the Vice President, Product Development at Elsevier.
The blog post says (quote) - The entry quotes Umair Haque Director of the Havas Media Lab (quote) "Forget business models. Focus on ideals. Reconceiving value creation depends on new ideals.Ideals shape what we wish to achieve in the first place: freedom, peace, fairness, justice - all are ideals vastly more powerful than mere business models. That's because they are what ensure the value we are creating is authentic, deep, meaningful value - not just the shabby, threadbare illusion of value."(unquote)

5.Blog Topic - Feeds, Friends and Follows: On Leadership in Social Media
Posted at blog titled Tansparent Bundles-from Wall Street to the Web by Seth Goldstein, the Co-Founder & CEO of SocialMedia.com and also an angel advisor to a number of Web services
companies. The post discusses how online attention is a scarce commodity.
The blog post says (quote) - In social media, we are all now equally available to eachother. The cost of receiving attention has gone to zero. You have my blog address, my Facebook profile,and my Twitter account. There I am. Go ahead and consume me. Just because you can easily access my information, however, does not mean that you will. This is where the attention economy gives way to the influence economy. Determining who to pay attention to (and who to ignore) represents a new kind of social media literacy. For now, this literacy is something that we each are developing ourselves, as we muddle through friending and un-friending, following and unfollowing. This is analogous to the ad hoc discovery of web sites circa 1995, before the introduction of Netscape’s “Cool Site of the Day” and the Yahoo! directory.(unquote)
