Episode #218 of Six Pixels of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to. This is also episode #35 of Media Hacks.
For this Labour Day weekend we managed to get C.C. Chapman, Hugh McGuire, Christopher S. Penn and myself on a call to discuss everything new and happening around all things media (and yes, new media). One of the core topics was how the Internet is dealing with the real-time Web and the implications this is happening across the media channels. So, yes, we’re talking about newspapers, television and a world where everyone and anyone is an eye witness reporter. We also dive into a discussion about how apps are becoming a world where suddenly it looks more like a thousand AOLs blossoming verses an open Internet as we have know it to date. Enjoy the conversation…

I found your ipad and “app world” discussion interesting. I’ve found what the iPad does is allow me to maintain focus by making multitasking just a bit harder. For the most part, it’s been incredibly helpful in writing my book and takes away the temptation to check mail.social media and more, but keeps me on task.
Sometimes we do need that world where distractions are filtered out and we can just do what we want, and an app based world is part of that sanity against the firehose of information.
Small, tiny and paid applications instead of a big, open and free world from a web browser… who would have thunk that?
