Digital Content [William Thaw] (Oct 12 2003 01:54 GMT) - I work for Visa International and one of the areas in which I focus is that of digital content. I don't think so much about creating digital content mind you, but more about how people will consume and pay for digital content as it enters the mainstream. I can't dicuss everything here, but something I'd like to do is ask a question about a theory we have. When we look at how people have traditionally consumed content (physically distributed), they tend to consume it in bundles and return to the same sources. An example is the consumer who buys the same newspaper day after day despite the fact they may have a wide array of choices and on any given day one of those alternative choices may better suit their needs and interests. |

Updates and Butterflies (Oct 12 2003 01:52 GMT) - I've been dealing with all kinds of butterflies recently, but the one that flew up over my windscreen as I turned into my street was particularly beautiful. The fact that the leaves have just turned to fiery oranges added to the breathtaking nature of the moment. I just got back from a Virginia Community College System peer group conference (the one I set the web site up for). |

Analysis / Israel, Iran and the nuclear bomb (Oct 12 2003 01:52 GMT) - Analysis / Israel, Iran and the nuclear bomb Heading off Iran's attempt to attain nuclear capability is one of the Mossad's main missions, and the foreign media is one of the most important instruments utilized in this effort. Mossad agents supply foreign journalists with information about Iran's nuclear efforts; such foreign reports, the Mossad expects, support the international campaign to thwart Iran's nuclear weapons program. Sometimes, the foreign media are used to deliver deterrence-oriented messages about Israel's capabilities and intentions. ed: |
