GameChanger sees a business model in baseball scores » Nieman Journalism Lab
GameChanger is trying to monetize not just sports-related content, but sports scoring in general. Via, in particular, a mobile app that coaches and other scorekeepers can use to tabulate the scores of their games. And which they can also use — here’s where we get interested — to automatically distribute those scores to local media. | source : www.niemanlab.org

10 Tips For Aspiring Community Managers
“I’m constantly surprised by how few of those aspiring community managers actually spend time to manage a career blog where they share tips and tricks on what works and what doesn’t,” he said. “Everyone has a LinkedIn, Facebook (Facebook) or Twitter account, but career blogs are few and far in between. Build a brand for yourself with your blog before you actually get paid to manage one.” | source : mashable.com

WikiLeaks will fund itself via Flattr, Pirate Bay founder’s startup
Flattr is another Sweden-based outfit with close links to The Pirate Bay as the the brainchild of a group of people formerly associated with The [infamous] Pirate Bay, including Peter Sunde. Flattr has a micropayments business model based on the idea of people tipping content they like, Digg or perhaps Facebook Like buttons – but this time with real money. As a result, WikiLeaks Afghan War Diary, which has made headlnes around the world, is currently pulling in hundreds of Flattrs, with most of them anonymous.

Why Your Customers Don't Want to Talk to You - Matt Dixon and Lara ...
Most customers these days demonstrate a huge — and increasing — appetite for self-service, yet most companies run their operations as if customers prefer to interact with them live.
In our research on this topic (which we discuss in our recent HBR article "Stop Trying to Delight Your Customers"), we've found that corporate leaders dramatically overestimate the extent to which their customers actually want to talk to them. In fact, on average, companies tend to think their customers value live service more than twice as much as they value self service. But our data show that customers today are statistically indifferent about this — they value self-service just as much as using the phone. | source : blogs.hbr.org

Lone Star Trailblazer : CJR
The Tribune’s biggest magnet by far has been its more than three dozen interactive databases, which collectively have drawn three times as many page views as the site’s stories. At a recent international online journalism symposium in Austin, that statistic wowed new-media experts as validation that readers prefer data-driven projects to traditional journalism narratives. The databases, developed primarily by Matt Stiles and software engineer Niran Babalola, allow users to search public employees’ and teachers’ salaries, browse campaign contributions, peruse state-prison inmates’ offenses and sentences, and even see how many citations Texas red-light cameras have captured, complete with a Google Maps street view of each intersection. The Tribune publishes or updates at least one database per week, and readers e-mail these database links to each other or share them on Facebook, scouring their neighborhood’s school rankings or their state rep’s spending habits. | source : www.cjr.org

Nieman Reports | Categorizing What Works—So We Can Apply Those Lessons to Future Endeavors
As a recent fellow at the Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI) at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, I developed a list of promising online news sites. To do this, my research partner, Adam Maksl, a journalism doctoral student, and I reviewed more than 1,000 sites to come up with our list of just over 100 promising sites that seem to be getting traction in developing content and revenue streams. Our criteria for inclusion focused on the production of original news in ways that attempt to be fair and transparent. And these Web sites had to demonstrate effort in finding a sustainable revenue model. | source : www.nieman.harvard.edu
