Underground TV - More Content

Underground TV is a new music channel that Akimbo distributes but which has its own website over here.
The site is dedicated to heavy metal and rock. I don’t much like that kind of music but the site is well put together and my guess is for enthusiasts it’s a place to go.

Classifieds

Craig Newmark who is due to talk at the Amsterdam cross-media Picnic next week describes classifieds as content like any other, providing an engaging experience for users.

Categorising Content

A quick look at the different types of content out there shows we’ve come a long way since media meant TV, radio, newspapers and magazines.
1. Video uploads (YouTube, mass and Viewdo, niche)
2. Pocast/vidcasts (Rocketboom and then some)

4. Start pages (Netvibes, pageflake)
5. Online movies (many of them but I’m thinking of pure plays [...]

Media Values Are Written in Dollars Even in Web 2.0, Other Companies Are Becoming New Ethicists

Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel winning economist, is touring Europe assuring Governments that the spread of capitalism has not been matched by a comparable spread of social values.
