The house around the corner finally sold, for a few hundred thou less than originally listed. It's a real beaut, too! Not exactly saying they got a bargain, but it's a good building.

Maybe this can replace Morae for me now that my primary work laptop is a Mac and Morae doesn't run on OS X — and I really don't want to have to run a Windows emulator.

What a great idea! Somebody figured out a way to profit from Nashville’ lack of an IKEA. And according to Nashvillest, they donate 10% of profit to charity. How cool is that? (Though if it were me driving, I’d go to Cincinnati instead of Atlanta.)

Good list of points about ecommerce… oh, who are we kidding? It’s a bunch of LOLcats (and other animals) that tie loosely to the theme, but it’s worth it.

Wow, someone has a lot of venom for the Maghound model. It’s well thought out, though, and hard to argue.

Ooh, this is a good one. Note particularly the first part of the sentence: “And while I can’t say I’ve often had the urge to switch out subscriptions once I’ve settled on my favorites … given the chance, I just might (I’m looking at you, Esquire).”
-
No long tail on this dog: “…The results won’t be nearly as deep as Netflix, which… has a library of more than 100,000 titles and a veritable arms race … to build better algorithms. Maghound is starting out with just less than 300 magazines… .”
-
“…Netflix was able to gain their dominance… by being the largest online advertiser for years in a row, they essiantially “bought” market share and customers. I don’t believe Maghound has the funding Netflix had…” It’s Time Inc. Not enough fund
-
“Interestingly, the auditing bodies will be viewing these as single-sale copies.” I do think that’s one of the more interesting wrinkles in the whole model — it’s not technically a subscription, from an Audit Bureau standpoint.

Certainly not all of these apply to all e-commerce catalogs — a good many of them would make little sense with magazines, for example — but this is a good list and should help spark some creative ideas about how to showcase products.

Saturday, June 28th, 2008- Can A New Netflix-Like Service Save Magazine Industry? - Media Money with Julia Boorstin - CNBC.com
“I can imagine using it– I like not being locked into any commitments and it could be fun to try out magazines that are hard to find in ordinary airport newsstands. [...] While working on home construction I’d sign up for all interior design magazines.”
- Kevin Allman: Desperate times in the newspaper & magazine industries
“The whole point of magazine subscriptions is the set-it-and-forget-it model, which is why they always try to entice readers with steeply discounted 2- and 3-year plans.”
- Your choice of magazines « Lou Heldman on the News Media
“Some major challenges would seem to be: Rising paper and postal costs. The magazine industry’s traditionally slow execution starting new subscriptions. More and more magazine content being accessed on the Web.”
- Finally! Mix-and-match magazine subscriptions : Carolyn Erickson
“I’ve been waiting for this. While I hate to pay the newstand price for magazines, I often do. Why do I pay $4.95 for a single issue when I could subscribe for about $15 per year?”
- Maghound Sniffing for Long Tail | Media Industry Blog | BNET
“But, unless I’m missing something, we have a small problem here, and it has to do with the length of the magazine-lover’s best-friend’s tail. The company says it has 280 magazines signed up so far, and hopes to have 300 by launch.”
