Publishers Unite!
A Mid-Summer’s News Catch-Up
Our colleagues at the Right Media Blog recently posted an article about the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and their efforts to broaden the coalition of publishers on the web. According to the IAB’s post “Small Publishers Unite! You Have Nothing To Save But Your Business,” the IAB is trying to “mobilize to stop politicians from unfairly and inappropriately regulating digital advertising.” Check it out for yourself.
Picture This
The Creative Commons Blog posted an article on how to help distinguish between Creative Commons, the public domain and all-rights-reserved images you may use on your site. Recently, some reporters from mainstream newspapers were confused about where certain images fell under, and as a result, there was some trouble. Many publishers use all three types of images, so it might be good for you to review.
Sounding Social
With so many free online radio stations and different music players, it’s a little daunting at times keeping up with the technology. Chris Lindsay of Yahoo!’s The Spark blog does a great job reviewing some of the many social music networks in the article “The Rise of the Social Music Networks.”
Private Matters
Some of you specialty publishers also participate on Yahoo! Groups, and their blog recently posted some tips on what privacy controls you have. It’s great info on how to control who can join your group, who can find your group, or who can see your group messages.
