Met Doc Searls (co-author of groundbreaking Cluetrain Manisto, doing the opening keynote tomorrow at New Media Days) at the New Media Days conference “pre-lounge” (speakers and arrangers get-together) earlier this evening.
“What you’re telling me is really innovative” he said, and lit up in the bar, suddenly all energy, when I briefed him up on the “Danish Newspaper war” and got the part of Nordjyskes “Centrum”-project – a free morning newspaper in the traffic, a user-generated newswebsite, and a free evening newspaper mixing regular news with the contributions from readers/users during the day at the website. “In the US newspaper are all on the verge of giving up. This is so creative.”
