Comment on But how, @jeffjarvis, do your students apply those for-profit business models? by Jeff Jarvis

Jeff Jarvis — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:40:54 +0000

This makes me wonder whether “need” is the right lens. That goes too much to the view that journalism is a virtue, even a religion. The people need sermons. Do they? Needs are almost always not fully met. Thus we’ll keep mourning about a lack of enough journalism to meet that need.
Perhaps a better perspective would come from looking at value: If we had this much journalism, look at the wonderful things we could do with it.
If we had transparent government, how much more efficient could that make it and coverage of it? If we had more data could we make wiser decisions not only regarding government but also in business? If we had platforms that let us connect with each other, could we solve problems and create value more effectively?
Shifting from need to value is a shift from religion to commerce but you know that I think that’s OK.

Comment on Booting up a personal recommendation system for news by Jos Schuurmans

Thanks KP, that will be a very interesting read. Have you been involved in this research?

We try to emphasize the analysis of authoring behavior over consumption behavior. At this stage we don’t recommend based on content. We do apply collaborative filtering.

You may have seen my ‘Open invitation…’ blog post yesterday:

Just arrived at your post at random, but I think you should have a read in the following paper: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1719976

Comment on Mapping my domain to WordPress.com by Jos Schuurmans

Ishan, when I mapped my domain to WordPress.com, my email – which runs on a different provider – was not interrupted. So, no problems there.

Thank you.. for sharing it. I was bout to buy a domain mapping… The only thing i was confused about is, If I will change Name Servers to wordpress.com then how I will be able to manage my mails coming to that domain. anyways…. thanks for the above information.

I really appreciate that the time and effort that you put on mapping the domain on wordpress.com, you have finally shared it.

and yea.. plz. do reply to my comment, if you come across any solution with this. (mapping domain on wordpress.com with www and still using your mail server in conjuction).

Thanks Again. Good Job Done.
