rickyv:

The lack of barriers to entry in the media business is devaluing media businesses.

The lack of barriers to entry in human interaction, caused by social media, is devaluing personal communication.

Hundreds of “happy birthday” messages sent via facebook turn into more of a nuisance than a joy to receive.

Or, in either circumstance, it’s making it harder to be generic and forcing new entrants to have something which stands apart from the ever-growing crowd.

Basically it’s forcing media, and communications, to get better than “just good enough.”

About

I do lots of things. I'm kind of weird that way.

First and foremost, I'm the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip, where you can discover the best in original web series.

Before that, I ran a consulting company focused on entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases the awesome in online video.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest from politics, to the future of mass media, to the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here. (Latest example: "On Bullying")

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
