A few months ago I was interviewed by a reporter about Wikinews. Unfortunately it turned out that the magazine killed the story after the reporter had come out an interviewed a good number of Wikinewsies — so the story is now posted on a blog. Read the story now!
I’d eaten some nova smoked salmon today, only to bump into a food safety story at Wikinews saying that a brand of nova smoked salmon was recalled for being tainted with some evil germs…. I had to dig the food wrapper out of the trash to make sure I hadn’t eaten of the recalled brand.
Talk about a scary story. I don’t even eat smoked salmon all that often.
The Economist’s article about customer really becoming king is an entertaining read. Basically, the advertising industry is faced with a new reality that the customer is now so educated and in control that that the models of selling brands have to change. (via Scoble)
