Rough Type: Nicholas Carr's Blog: The Omnigoogle
But while Google is an unusual company in many ways, when you boil down its business strategy, you find that it’s not quite as mysterious as it seems. The way Google makes money is straightforward: It brokers and publishes advertisements through digital media.
New music site gives fans a cut of tune sales - BizTech - Technology
Berkeley, California-based Popcuts, which publicly launched its website in early August, charges users US99 cents per song.

Expect to see millions of web devices, even desktop web devices, in the coming years that completely strip out the Windows layer and use the browser as the only operating system the user needs.

What Newspapers Still Don’t Understand About The Web - Publishing 2.0
Why is Google making more money everyday while newspapers are making less? I’m going to pick on The Washington Post again only because it’s my local paper and this is a local example.
What Magazines Still Don’t Understand About The Web - Publishing 2.0
Since I already drilled a nerve with What Newspapers Still Don’t Understand About The Web, which is on its way to becoming one of my most linked posts ever — and since everyone loves a sequel — I thought I would do a follow up for magazines. The lessons, of course, apply to every print publisher, who constantly discovers new ways to frustrate web users by prioritizing print over web.

But the preferred quick public sale location for startups may no longer be eBay. That title may now belong to the SitePoint Marketplace.

LRB · Donald MacKenzie: End-of-the-World Trade
Last November, I spent several days in the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf, in banks’ headquarters in the City and in the pale wood and glass of a hedge fund’s St James’s office trying to understand the credit crisis that had erupted over the previous four months.

Symbolic gatecrashing into the well-guarded meeting places of the super-rich suddenly seemed a much more sinister activity than before. Busting up branches of Starbucks and other Seattle-style antics became anathema in an atmosphere of injured and vindictive patriotism.
