The Subscriber Content InitiativeThe Evolution of Content Management
The 1990’s; ScaleThe dawn of the information age – everyone could get access to content and everyone wanted it.
2000 – ’05; Search and LinkMoved from a consumption environment to a “search” environment. “Just Google it.”
Everyone wanted to share everything – except the music industry.
2006 – ‘10; Web 2.0 and Share (or something like that)Web 2.0 was born and with it came open software platforms where search was no longer enough. Preferred search and “decision engines were born.”
Site scraping, reorganizing of original content and cease and desist begin to take shape.
2010; the great equalizer - PlatformsPlatforms are now the rage – and in the short term, they are the future.

First and Foremost, content is king – it always has been. Remember, ultimately, the consumer defines content.
Music, Apps, Books, Podcasts, Publishing Content, Magazine Content, Video, Broadcast
Manage your contentThere are very few business models that scale – Google, Yahoo and Facebook are the exception – not the rule.
If Quality is the King, then quantifying and qualifying your audience is the Prince.
Be who you are and believe in what you areThe Dallas Morning News is not the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal but we are relevant to our local audience.
Provide easy access – and create a relationship for that accessLong term monetization is hard to achieve without a relationship. This goes for B2B and B2C.
