Do you have exponential media content?

Watched this great video titled, “Did You Know?” (9,459,742 views!) on the way technology is changing our landscape in truly incredible ways. Which led me to this related presentation, “Did you Know 4.0“:

Newspaper publishing and magazine ad revenue naturally was down in 2009, but so was TV and radio. While mobile phone advertisement and Internet advertisement sales increased. Social media will only increase these figures in 2010 is my guess.

Here are both videos embedded. We live in exponential times for sure. Amazing:

Have a great weekend and do not forget to be social, which has very little to do with media, now does it?

What are your exponential media strategies? Do you have exponential media content?

Markzware is know for it’s invention of preflighting and of course the stand-alone application FlightCheck Professional. Markzware is also very popular for our easy-to-use desktop publishing conversion Plugins, XTensions and applications. Here is a small overview:

- Here was a great article about PageZephyr over on TechNewsWorld, with deeper insights into the desktop search and extraction capabilities this technology and app offers for proprietary page layout documents like Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress; expanding where Spotlight stops. Here is just a sniplet from this detailed and insightful piece titled, “PageZephyr Sees What Spotlight Can’t“:

“Considering the length of time programs like Quark and InDesign have been in the market and the key role search plays in almost every facet of computer use, one might think a program like PageZephyr would have been introduced long ago, but it wasn’t.”

With Markzware’s new desktop search engine for page layout file formats such as Adobe INDD and Quark QXP just out, makes this article all the more interesting:

Five “Real Time” Search Startups You Should Know

“For the past few years, there have been many ways to navigate the web to find out what is going on right now.  You could go to cnn.com to see breaking news, or you could perform a search at Google news to search multiple media outlets.  However, while media outlets aren’t able to cover every story, the power of the internet enables most every story to be discussed.  From this, the real time web was born.”
Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-five-real-time-startups-you-need-to-know-2009-12

They mention several cool new Internet based search engines such as Sency and Topsy. So if Internet users are getting real-time search, why not you graphic designers, advertising agencies, publishing houses, printers and marketing departments able to search their DTP (Desktop Publishing) documents with ease and in a split second on their desktop?  Read more...

Here was a popular discussion over on the “Prepress, Print & Color Management Professionals” group on Linkedin.com where Sean Runchman of Tunicca posed an interesting post and something I think many on our side of the printing fence have been thinking of for while, titled, “Premedia – the new Prepress?”

“We are seeing more and more encouragement for printers to diversify from a product offering based solely on print to more service oriented solutions. This requires printers to embrace the digital age even further and look at providing additional services demanded by the marketers within large brands.”

Then, to show the Markzware side, especially with the content conversion, content extraction and file recovery we offer, the MASSIVE business opportunity for printers out there is summed up in my last post on this hoping thread:

“Ink on paper is a term used often by printers. This expands to, “Content displayed as ink on paper.”

The printers controlled, in essence, the content up until the Internet. That today (ironically enough, for Gutenberg invented movable type to free content!) has more apparent freedom. Yet is that really so?  Read more... (377 words, 7 images, estimated 1:30 mins reading time)
