Hi Mark, Thought you and your readers might be interested in this Globe&Mail article, “Information Rich and Attention Poor” published last fall. http://bit.ly/3oJXjn

Full disclosure: it’s an excerpt from a speech my father, Peter Nicholson, gave to the Fiesole Retreat in Glasgow, Scotland, July ’09.

Last summer as he was preparing this speech on the overabundance of information and its impact on our future, he discussed with me the idea of explaining knowledge in the economic terms of “stock” and “flow.”

It wound up being one of the bases for the speech and in the Globe&Mail article…which has some other fascinating connections as well, not least is a discussion of some of the possible (and awesome) drivers behind WHY knowledge has evolved from stock to flow.

Definitely worth reading: http://bit.ly/3oJXjn

all the best, C.

[...] The New York Times’ paywall plans » Nieman Journalism Lab Apparently the paywall doesn't apply to anyone who comes into an NYT story from an external link. Huh? Only heavy users who stay within the site's own navigation will be charged. So, only the best and most loyal customers, and the ones with the most value to advertisers, will be punished. This sounds like precisely the opposite of what they want to do. Making an external page that will list all of the day's NYT content is beyond trivial. I've been doing it for years with My Yahoo and MyWay pages, just so I can get a headline list without the ad overload or the cumbersome navigation of a newspaper front page. Now the NYT will be encouraging users to flee to those services, ensuring that they will build up long-term click patterns with Yahoo, Google and portal providers, who already present the headlines in faster, cleaner ways. Dumbest idea ever. (tags: newspapers fear) [...]
