Society knows how to react to scarcity.” We know how to ration, save, and preserve when we need to do so. It’s much harder to set priorities and find our path when information abounds. We may drown. We may get side-tracked. We may shut down. But, in any case, abundance confuses and distracts us more than scarcity does.

Source: The Newsonomics of time-on-site, Jan 2010 by Ken DoctorThe average news reader spends little time on newspaper-owned sites, from a 20 minutes a month or so on the New York Times site to eight to 12 minutes on most local newspaper sites. That’s minutes per month. Those numbers, as tracked by Nielsen and reported monthly by Editor and Publisher, are steady at best, showing, in fact, some recent decline. They are, literally, stuck in time.Then, take the number of minutes Internet users spend on social sites. Nielsen’s January tally showed seven hours of usage a month on Facebook alone, in the U.S., blowing away all competition.

Huffington Post has very low returns compared to traditional media rivals. Average revenue per user is just a little more than a dollar.
To put that in context, the New York Times digital revenue alone is $150m, according to an estimate by analyst Henry Blodgett.

The Associated Press commissioned an ethnographic study of young news consumers, 18-34 but with an emphasis on 18-24.
One of the key findings: The subjects were overloaded with facts and updates and were having trouble moving more deeply into the background and resolution of news stories.

The Internet over the last few years has been about getting as much content to as many people as possible – bringing an incredible range of content to our screens like never before. The problem is that we are now surrounded by too much content that takes too much time to find, qualify and consume.Seedcamp winners riding wave of relevant content by Jos White
Google and the other search engines do a decent job in a wide and shallow sort of way, but there is a growing need for technologies/services that are able to work on a narrower and deeper level to make better sense of the content out there. There is lots of data available (if we decide to give it) based on who we are, where we are, what we like and what we are looking for, and, if used intelligently it can enable good decisions to be made in terms of providing us with more relevant content.Out of the 12 winners at Seedcamp, seven are involved in optimising content in some way and making it more personalised to the user.

Who runs Hong Kong
When it does all come together, it will be a way to extract more value out of
journalists’ work on a day-to-day basis
-Reg ChuaEditor-in-Chief, South China Morning Post
Who Runs Hong Kong is officially live – an interactive visualization of 4,000 key people and 2,000 companies and organizations in Hong Kong and how they’re connected.
...If we have a database of relationships of key people and companies, add some generally-known-but-not-easily-accessed (or not-so-generally-known) information, such as family ties or schools attended, and then have journalists update the database whenever they file stories on the people and companies, then after a while you have a monster database that’s increasing in value everyday – and can’t easily be replicated.
