Back in Black


Welcome back to the new and revamped edition of Scout's Chronicles. It has been a VERY long time - looking at my last post here, things sure have changed.

Apart from a rather severe recession and Barack Obama's election, I no longer listen to Virgin and have become instead a die-hard BBC6 junkie. To be more specific, I can't get enough of Shaun Keaveny, Adam & Joe, Jon Richardson and Iyare.

Technology has moved on, so that blogs have become the elder statemen of social media. And I tweet too, @lesliealee.

So what's big, three years on? Some things haven't changed - people are still trying to work out how to monetise content. Traditional media is in meltdown, with Murdoch closing thelondonpaper and making noises about charging for online content. Shame that the Times Online finished behind The Mail and The Daily Telegraph websites in the latest set of viewing figures.

Search is big, thanks to Bing. Everyone is racing to find the way to figure out what you're searching for, before you've even begun looking. See Evan Williams' take on this: http://bit.ly/q4bX8
