A very interesting juxtaposition

Found this today thanks to a link posting from a friend on Facebook...watch first, then we talk.
Ledger Live: newspapers and porn share economic bind














I know my readers are mature enough to handle the content of this video, so I will ignore the snickers... But the simple truth is that this video is the epitome of Internet media and its future. One man...one camera, one mic, one message (and a few porn stars to boot).
It also did a very good job of hooking an audience, who can resist a good story about porn? But seriously, while whimsical, this story had great points about the status of the status quo and how the web has shaken the very foundations of modern media.
What we can take away from this introspective is in the simple idea introduces towards the end of this video in that, "everyone has a voice" the real question is, what will you do with that voice?
As out #stir movement continues to roll with this free flow of ideas and information, lets remember that people will tune in to our podcasts, read our blogs, follow us on Twitter, only, if we give them a good reason to stray from the familiar.
We have to continue to give them content they can not get anywhere else, or at the very least, package it in a more attractive way than our competitors.
It very much is the only way to survive in the current age of content overflow...even porn stars know it....

  2. Very sorry Jeanne! I don't know how that phantom "n" got in that word! *I blame it on my lack of typing skills coupled with a lack of real sleep :) * Rest assured the problem is solved and there will be no further link to your very unique and awesome looking business! Sorry for any inconvenience this silly post might have caused!
