I tried making tiramisu for the first time ever with this recipe and my attempt was a complete disaster! The flavors were all spot on, but the texture for the cheese laters was all wrong. Perhaps I didn't beat the egg whites enough? Once I folded the egg whites into the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture, the mixture as a whole became very fluffy and runny and stayed that way even after refrigerating for 5 hours. The tiramisu wouldn't keep any shape at all once I cut into it to serve and it ended up being a (very tasty! puddle of tiramisu ingredients. Any tips for when I try again?

This was great! One of the best Tiramisu recipes that I've tried. I will make this again for sure. I found that only putting the cookies half way in (just the top half, leave the bottom half dry) was more than enough, otherwise they get too soft.

My first time. It turned out great. Very creamy. I didn't have rum so I used cherry kiafa. OMG! Yum! chocolate cherry what could be better.
Don't soak cookies to long or you get mush.

News & Rumors
Last week I read a story about Samsung spending $10 million on Facebook ads and generating $129 million in sales of the Samsung Galaxy S3, directly measured against this paid traffic. This story was shared by a Facebook executive at the recent Business Insider IGNITION conference. There are people arguing over whether or not these numbers are real. Can you honestly measure the conversion of people who view a paid Samsung ad on Facebook and end up using a Samsung Galaxy S3 device?
I think you can do a reasonably good job of this assuming there is a way to track conversions based on people installing (and logging into) the Facebook app from that particular phone, and using Facebook data to confirm that they previously clicked on a Samsung ad. My point in saying this is I do believe advertising on social media platforms can generate great results.
So is Research In Motion advertising on Facebook? Are they building their brand using Facebook's tools? Yes. They are. If you look at the BlackBerry fan page, you can see they have 12.6 million likes and almost a quarter million people "talking about this" (however that metric is defined). Comparably, Samsung Mobile has 15.7 million likes and only 164,000 people "talking about this".
Seems to me that BlackBerry is actually doing better in terms of converting page likes into user discussion. Their viral power is stronger, if you prefer to think of it in those terms. Maybe this means BlackBerry advertising on Facebook should deliver an even stronger return on investment than it did for Samsung.
That is, if it's done right. I don't use Facebook that often, and I never noticed any S3 ads, so I have no idea what they actually used as a promotion.
I can see, however, that BlackBerry 10 is showing up as a promoted post in my Facebook timeline. I'm glad to see this, however I think RIM can do even better.
If you click on the BlackBerry promoted post, the text of the post simply says, "showing is better than telling". Below the post is an embedded YouTube video, which we've also embedded here for your viewing pleasure.
I have to say, I was disappointed with this campaign because it misses out on a huge opportunity to build more awareness and anticipation for BlackBerry 10. From a marketing perspective, here is what I would change:
I'm thrilled to see RIM advertising BlackBerry 10 on Facebook. They've got almost as much of a fan base on there as Samsung Mobile, which is incredible considering their much smaller market share. Their audience seems to be more interactive. This is all very good. But I think they need to do a lot better than promoting a video that was likely made well before RIM really started pushing some of the awesome features in BlackBerry 10. It's time to redo the video, and launch a powerful campaign that can deliver Samsung-like return on investment.
Original artwork: DeviantArt
I agree with most of what you said, but there's one BIG difference in opinion. I don't think it's time to launch a big campaign. Like you said, attention spans are very short. If RIM starts advertising all out now, by Jan. 30 people will have lost interest. For a successful launch, I think RIM should wait to advertise 10 until the 1st of the year (Dec. 31 at the earliest).
I reckon anything right now is too early. Teasers and web stuff they're doing right now is perfectly fine especially when they're trying to get developers over to the platfrom.
personally, I think think a major campaign targeting consumes should really happen after the launch. That way they can explain all the features that are unique to blackberry and that way they can at least keep continue the momentum from the launch event and hopefully surprises that were in store.
By all means keep the traffic and the hype up building from Jan 1st onwards but any consumers advertising campaign now would be wasted dollars especially if someone tries to head in to see if they can get they're hands on one and leave disappointed because they're still waiting.
I just wonder if they did a teaser type ad with the Jan 30th date, it could catch people's interest and maybe keep some people from buying a different platform's phone during the holiday season. It isn't going to have much affect on non BlackBerry users looking at a non BlackBerry phone for xmas, but maybe some of the current BB users that are ready for a new phone, but don't want a BB7 phone, might be convinced to hold off a little bit longer.
I disagree. Before folks commit to a 2 year contract at Christmas with some competitor's device, RIM needs to encourage them to wait till end of January. Show enough cool stuff to get them to reconsider. Phones are all about timing (Christmas, Graduation, Back to school) and contracts (1-2 year terms).
Chris, I agreed with you. They should make the videos about the exciting features that other device makers don't have. Have the people in background jumping up and down exciting about the new features and tell their friends it is coming in January 30th,
Maybe RIM can do small ad campaigns showing some neat features of its upcoming OS in a fun way, like Get a Mac (Apple for Mac computers) (Time Shift Camera, BB Hub, true multitasking, peak, flow, etc...). It's enough to release them on Youtube and media and users will spread it like a virus. But it should be really funny, not aggressive to other OSs and with moments of charm :) More people talk about BB10 more potential users RIM will have. Just a thought...
LOVE the image :) Also agree on the video comments. I showed this exact video today to some iPhone users and almost lost their attention by the time keyboard action got going :(
Talking to a software developer yesterday, he said that for the iPhone and the iPad you have to assume that the attention span of the user is near zero. (Real software developer, real comment). He also pointed to the iPad in the corner and commented that you find rapidly you cannot do real work on it.
So yes, my feeling is that it doesn't matter; few iPhone users are part of the RIM market, unless their CIO/IT department decide that, despite the whining, they are just going to have to spend a little time learning how to do something.
May be a bit early for a blitz.. But a gentle nudge that the something coning on the horizon so you don't spend all your money at Christmas. I'm not a marketing person, but i use my facebook app more than the browser. When i'm on the browser I don't even pay attention to those ads. but for the people that do, I would agree, get the attention quick.. focus on the strong points and send them to where they get more info. It's like a movie trailer..
One thing to note:
I believe the ads on facebook are tailored to the user.
So if on your profile/clicks via facebook/other online activities have to do with Blackberry, you will tend to see more Blackberry banners. Maybe this explains the lack of GS3 ads?
I bring this up to say that ads people see on fb or google is not a good representation of the penetration of online marketing by companies as a whole.
I personally think companies over-emphasize the effectiveness of online marketing.
But that's another discussion
Totally agree.... its really a total waste of time in terms about learning or discussing the product.
Its more of a pick up joint for BBM ...
My only issue is that a lot of people are logged onto Facebook either by mobile web or app (and those don't allow for ads) and with Google chrome on desktop computers, and using a very popular extension Ad Block and Ad Block Plus like myself, I don't see ads, so for me, and I know others, RIM is losing out on potential clicks by just having facebook ads or ads in general online.
They need some serious TV and print ads to help get the word on the street. I have friends who are not as connected as I am still to this day (just yesterday I had a coworker ask if RIM was going to announce BB10 anytime soon) asking if and when BB10 will launch. So unless you are a diehard, and pay attention to the news, RIM hasn't gotten the public aware that they are now 57 days away from announcing new products.
Beat me to it. Theres no proof that they are effective, and i highly doubt FB ads played any significant role in the popularity of the SGIII.
The thing RI should absolutely not do is spend money advertising on an unproven platform. Every dollar should go where ad dollars are proven to be seen by the most potential customers.
To spend money of any consequence on facebook ads is as bad an idea as I've heard and RIM can't afford to screw this up!!
i use adblock too and i don't see any ads too :p but i still can see on my timeline about samsung galaxy note's sponsored stories that my friends are liking. i don't 'like' their fanpage so the only way their status updates can show on my timeline is via sponsored stories that my friends 'like'. i don't like samsung galaxy, but i like their sponsored stories (though i didn't actually liking the sponsored stories i saw on my timeline). i like how they able to show the best side of the product that can make people wanting it, talking about it and suggest other to buy it.
i agree that if RIM want to get more sales they have to bombard (specificly targeted ad campaign) TVs, newspapers&magazines, and streets (busses/taxi/walls etc) with their ads. but i think that's not enough to drive people to go to store and buy it. they need to be brainwashed too. parents need to be persuaded by their kids to buy one for them. friends need to be told that it's great. young people are the best target for marketing, older people are harder to be convinced of what's the trend now. friendships, social networks can help making perceptions. if people see tv ads and at the time they watch it they are being told by their kids/friends that it's cool and everyone are saying it's good (because that's what they see on fb/twitter and become the talk at school/work for example), it can get a family to buy one for each of them, if they can afford it of course :p
so tv & street ads to target those who want to buy a smartphone, and facebook/twitter ads to brainwash the rest.
Let's hope for the best
If RIM thinks those stupid ads they have on Facebook are going to help they are sadly mistaken, They will be broke by 3rd quarter.
I get more info of whats coming up with Blackberry on here than I do from Blackberry fan page on FaceBook. That page is a complete joke!!
They had better get their act together.
Thank god for Crackberry!!
Advertisments on Facebook and the TV aren't meant for CrackBerry readers, they are for the people who don't come to CrackBerry to hear all the breaking news. RIM doesn't want to waste money advertising to us, they already have us.
I look forward to write ups from "umi". And this one was not different, however, I can't say I fully agree with what he implied, while I agree, RIM should do some ads promoting Blackberry 10 OS and devices, using the above video isn't a fair comparison. That video was made at Blackberry world in May as a sneak peak. The January date wasn't known yet. So that couldn't have been put that in. Matter of fact, this video was done pre having a CMO. I agree with the analysis that it isn't gripping, but remember, Blackberry World, folks was still under the cloud of doom gloom and not sure what to expect from RIM as it relates to Blackberry. I see this teaser as something to show the devs yes, we are here and we are working towards something, and here is a sneak peak into some of what we are doing.
Truth is, in that sense it work. combine that with everything that happened back in May, as reported, there was a genuine hype and happiness for Blackberry again.
If they take this approach when they do start to advertise, then we have a problem but the sneak peak vid wasn't meant for where Chris is point it at.
You are missing the most important point though. RIM should have a newer and better video out by now. Once they announced January 30th as the announcement date, they should have started an online/social media campaign around that date.
Agreed. . .Now that there is a launch date, the marketing spree should have started. . .
Perhaps in the US, but in places where the Christmas or New Year period is the big spend, not so much; people will assume any campaign is related to those dates.
BB 10 buildup is likely to begin in Canada, the UK, Europe and the Far East rather than the USA, places where RIM has market share, and where sales people will be willing to push something that isn't iPhone.
i agree on most of your points chris (and i've said about samsung's fb ads on an article here a while ago), but i have to disagree on two points.
first, i don't think advertising in fb has real/direct outcome on selling, to me it's more of brainwashing people, setting people's perceptions that what's being advertised is something good, something that people want, and you should too. but it's not always getting instant result/outcome on sales.
i've seen for a while sponsored stories about samsung's galaxy note's ads, not on my timeline, but from my friend's activity "liking" the stories, that showing up on my timeline. to me, the advertisement (or sponsored stories) will be considered having a good impact, if it gets lots of people liking it. and on those people who liking the ads/sponsored stories there are people who have position as hype people, the popular people, people who have lots of friends who replied/commented on their status updates, who set the trend to their friends. those people can make lots of their friends interested on what they like, and maybe then buy it. but the goal is not to get lots of people to buy it (you'll only get disappointments, waste of time and money if that's your goal). the goal is to set people's perception about something. if you want to get more sales, advertise on tv or giant screen on buildings/stores will get more sales than advertising on fb.
second, i prefer blackberry fanpage on fb to get more likes rather than getting lots of comments/people who talking about it. because like whitbags said on previous comment, most people comenting/talking about blackberry fanpage status are just sharing their PINs. but liking the status, if the status got advertised/become sponsored stories, it can go to the timeline of friends of people who like the sponsored updates. that's what samsung got. that's how samsung galaxy note's update could visit my timeline though i'm not liking samsung's fanpage.
i strongly suggest RIM to advertise on facebook, by making their status updates as sponsored stories. and each of the status should be like what you suggested in your article chris. i really hope RIM will do this. not to get more sales, but to brainwash people. that blackberry is not outdated. that it is cool. that lots of my friends are 'liking' it. that maybe i will want to buy one too.
So many of the ads on Facebook are scams. I wonder if being seen next a lose weight now ad is really good for RIM's image.
they should start doing ads before youtube videos etc. where it's just someone taking a picture of a couple of sexy women, and one of them has their eyes closed, and the guy taking it just fixes it; no mention of blackberry, just "coming soon," and maybe have a giveaway like clocks and calendars in the background with Jan 30 as the date, and say 10 o'clock.
another one where someone get's a message during a meeting (just the flashing red light), lifts up the phone, and boom, cinnamon toast (totally quiet except for the presenter, who mentions something about first quarter), again, just coming soon.
and perhaps another one, where it's a good looking person with a coffee in one hand, get's a message and replies to it, but just that (with a few hints), and again, coming soon.
start inundating people with these, and then when the phone hits, everyone will have a sense of how to use certain aspects of it, everyone will have at least some sort of awareness of what the device can do. Many will know it's bb10, many will not. But those who do not and search it out are likely potential buyers.
just a thought
00 yeah for sure Blackberry is going to have a Superbowl ad campaign. If they didn't theyd have rocks in there head and I know that RIM does not. it's gonna cost to a crap load of money to advertise on the Superbowl but the return for blackberry 10 will be unbelievable... and this is exactly what a new operating system and phone needs
I'd rather be a Black Sheep than an iSheep any day.
While it may be early, we want people to know about it so they can let Santa know that they don't want an iPhone or Android clone but instead want a gift certificate for a BB10 phone.
They can start with the teasers, showing the functionality that is currently known and making that common knowledge. It may be common knowledge to us but apparently not the people who work at the NTSB.
Chris - Another rocking article! You've hit everything on the head again.
That video is too old and needs to be taken down with a new one. I'm surprised that RIM didn't have a new video ready to go post BB Jam Americas / release date accounement. Since then there's been so much new info given about BB10.
I certianly hope that the CMO has a rockin plan for just pre / launch / post. I feel this is where RIM needs to hit it on the head more than anything else. It's been much too push to the wayside and they're seeing the effects of it now (and for a long time).
Honestly, CMO its up to you, RIM is do or die on your shoulders. It's obivous that the software is rockin to everyone, I'm certain the hardware will be too. But RIM's comeback will be won over by publicity and winning back the consumer.
Good luck guys!
I'm not so sure about internet advertising. I've tried it and at least for local markets it doesn't come close to being as effective as radio or television. Unless you have highly specific market segments you want to reach that can't be reached in other ways I wouldn't rely entirely on internet or social media advertising.
It may be useful for generating awareness and managing perceptions. And obviously helps with analytics if you can track through to actual sales (which is not always feasible).
And it's tough for us as BlackBerry aware individuals to respond appropriately to ads. The people who build these things usually have a pretty tight grasp on human psychology and what works for their target market. Tell an Apple user right from the start you're BlackBerry and he or she may ignore the rest of what you have to say. Tell them nothing and they may not realise it's BlackBerry until they're already in love with the product.
And not much point in having a call to action if there's nothing to do (at least until it goes on sale). So right now any ad or video is really just about generating awareness and not much more.
Pretty sure that video has been around for several months so would have been executed with early devices. No doubt they'll have better videos when it counts.
My guess is Frank Boulben knows what he's about.
I know what you mean but NEVER...EVER put an airhead dirtbag like Kim Kardasian in the same sentence as Blackberry.
I'd rather be a Black Sheep than an iSheep any day.

Kim Kardashian Poses in Chrome-Plated Car! Can You Spot 'Creepy Girl' in Garage? (PHOTOS)
Kim Kardashian looks good in chrome! The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star tweeted Instagram photos of Scott Disick's new ride. Kourtney Kardashian's guy is now rolling around in a chrome-plated Audi R8, and the family is loving it!
Kim, 31, tweeted on Wednesday: "Who needs a mirror when I'm driving @scottdisick's car!?!" Scott agreed, writing back: "No need."
Click the pics to see other car-crazy celebs!
Aside from the cool car, some of Kim's followers noticed a ghost-like image in the photo she posted.
In the garage, an eery image of a young girl can be seen. Kim addressed the ghostly-looking girl, tweeting:
Seeing your tweets about the creepy girl in my Instagram pic! It's a cardboard cut out of Kourt when she was little lol No ghosts here!
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) May 3, 2012
Also a fan of the show-stopping ride, momager Kris Jenner. She retweeted the photo of her daughter in the car, writing:
"Why would @KimKardashian need a mirror when she has @ScottDisick 's Batmobile???? #reflection."Chrome cars seem to be a trend amongst rich celebs. Justin Bieber was surprised with a $100,000 chrome 2012 Fisker Karma for his 18th birthday on Ellen DeGeneres' show. Check out that video below:

Bolo Tie Tips
If you are interested in wearing a bolo tie to your next event, consider these bolo tie tips first. People can be very opinionated when it comes to neckwear and the bolo tie seems to stir up more controversy than the bow tie ever did.
A bolo tie is simply neckwear made from a piece of cord that is attached at the neck with an ornamental clasp. Typically seen in the American Southwest, associated with Cowboys and Indians alike, the look is very Western.
Bolo Tie Tips to keep in mind to keep your look from slipping into a costume mode.
- Wear the bolo tie just like you would a long fabric tie. Tuck the slide up under the collar of your button down shirt. This can be a western style shirt, or a simple dress shirt. Normally one element of a look is all it takes, you don't need to pair the bolo tie with a western shirt, cowboy hat, boots and a vest for the look to work. In fact, keeping it simple makes more of an impact.
- Bolo ties are much easier to tie than a traditional tie, so the look goes together quickly. These are a fun option for young boys who balk at the idea of a tie, especially if you play up the whole cowboy and Indian theme.
- Design your own bolo tie using a favorite stone, carving or fossil with a kit from a craft store or online company. Highlighting something that is special to you personally is always good information, and it applies perfectly as a bolo tie tip.
- The cord on a bolo tie should land 4" below your breastbone. Typically cords are 36" to 38" long, but taller or larger people will want cords to be 40" to 42" long.
- Wear your bolo tie lower for a relaxed look. In fact a bolo tie could be worn over any casual shirt and have it hang more like a necklace.
- Fashion is fickle and there are some events that really frown on the wearing of a bolo tie. Know the situation you are walking into, or simply hold your head high and be ready to make waves if you choose to go against the grain and wear a bolo tie in lieu of a silk tie.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
John Prine stopped at Wichita's Orpheum Theatre last year on his way to some fishing in the Ozarks. Having survived neck cancer and hip replacement, he looked worse for the wear, moved awkwardly, and lost his voice at a couple of points. But he brought a couple of new songs, and after two hours was elated, almost giddy, directing a sing-along on "Illegal Smile" where he substituted "Ashcroft" for the antiquated "Hoffman." The first inkling that he had a mission was when he introduced the second song, describing it as an old song that had been stuffed and mounted on the wall, "but the president wrote me a letter and asked that I bring it back." Then he launched into "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore."
It took another year for a new album with the new songs to materialize. It's touted as his first album of new originals in a decade, but on closer inspection the 14 songs include two covers and seven co-credits. On the other hand, that's about the breakdown of 1995's pre-cancer Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings. In both cases the co-written songs sound more like Prine than the solo credits, but the solo credits are more striking, proving that it's easier to find help in Nashville than inspiration. "Crazy as a Loon" shows how this works: starting with one of the similes from "It's a Big Old Goofy World," Prine imagined a serial loser who wound up as a hermit in Canada. Most of the collaborations are bare seed ideas, like "Long Monday" or "Morning Train," that Prine just has to detail to turn into distinctive songs, but they're rarely as intriguing as the ones he writes on his own.
For instance, his "She Is My Everything" and "Other Side of Town" are polar relationship songsone awestruck and amused, the other beat down but resilient. And then there's the song for our times, "Some People Ain't Human." The targets of his 1984 "People Puttin' People Down" were pathetic, still human in their fallibility. But these days Prine's tolerance for miscreants has worn thin: "They live and they breathe/Just to turn the old screw/They screw you when you're sleeping/They try to screw you blind." One example: "When you're feeling really good/There's always a pigeon/That'll come shit on your hood." More specifically: "Some cowboy from Texas/Starts his own war in Iraq." That's not a political song. That's a moral one.

Should Art be added to STEM?
Share It.
(Rocklin, CA) To gain insight on how educators can better prepare students for advanced manufacturing and STEM careers, the Sierra College Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) Collaborative engaged Elizabeth Dayton, Ph.D. to conduct a literature review on the value of adding the arts to STEM, making it STEAM. The resulting white paper, "Exploring STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics" is now available online at the Sierra School Works website.
Requests from manufacturing advisory committee members for graduates who are innovative and critical thinkers lead Sierra College to conduct the research on the role of art in STEM education, explained Carol Pepper-Kittredge, CACT Director, Sierra College Center for Applied Competitive Technologies (CACT).
"In addition to developing STEM skills, students must know how they can be applied in innovative ways to improve products, solve problems and meet changing customer demand," said Pepper-Kittredge. "To fill the skills gap identified by businesses, the Sierra STEM Collaborative became interested in art as a vehicle to inspire design thinking and create a pipeline of students in the Sacramento region prepared for work in technical fields, especially advanced manufacturing."
Dayton's review considers a wide range of research on the impact art can have on students. "There is striking evidence of the demand for more creativity and innovation in the American economy," writes Dayton. "Both in looking backward to STEM successes in recent history, and in looking forward to what educators and employers see ahead, a convincing case can be made for the value of arts and innovation alongside strong STEM education."
Since 2008, the Sierra College has supported projects that both inspire and prepare students for advanced manufacturing careers, explained Pepper-Kittredge. "Sierra College as well as Placer and Nevada County middle and high schools participating in the Sierra STEM Collaborative have had success in integrating curriculum, such as math and welding, to develop students' skills," said Pepper-Kittredge. "Based on this report, adding an art component could enrich students' educational experience and enable them to develop skills they'll need during their careers."
"We've also seen through our partnership with Sacramento Hacker Lab that collaboration among artists, designers, manufacturers and engineers results in innovation and entrepreneurship," said Pepper-Kittredge. This report by Elizabeth Dayton has reinforced our interest in encouraging the integration of art with Science, Technology, Engineering & Math education. Adding an art strand will enhance students' knowledge and better prepare them for highly paid technical careers with manufacturers and technology companies in Northern California."

UPDATE: Since running the 6.058 earlier Friday, we went out on Friday evening and ran 6.043 at 242.67 mph. That is the exact same ET as Fast Freddy out of Sweden, and our mph is more than 10mph faster. We are the world's quickest and fastest drag truck. When we ran the 6.058 earlier we were not. We are now.
That's right folks, Larry Larson Runs 6.058 at 241.50 to become the quickest and fastest street legal vehicle on the drag strip. We're super excited, and the entire crew was crying like babies. It's an emotional deal for all of us who have been working on this thing all year. Larry, Chad, Tim, Sherry, Daphne, Scott, Jeff, Proline, FuelTech, and all the sponsors want to thank everyone for being so supportive. We appreciate it more than you will ever know.
And to our sponsors on this thing, thank you thank you thank you. We couldn't have done it without you.
But…. we ain't done yet! 5's here we come. There is more in this thing and we're putting the tune on it now!

GITOMER: Online subscriptions offer amazing perks and value
Published: February 21,2014
Tags: Business, column, Jeffrey Gitomer, Mississippi
Online publications are the rage and the future. They offer amazing value for the publisher, for the advertiser, and for the reader. They also offer more than significant cost reduction for all three players.
BACKGROUND: I moved to Charlotte in 1988. I brought as much of the Northeast with me as I possibly could. That included my subscription to The New Yorker magazine. The magazine doesn't just have the best articles in the world; it also has the best cartoons in the universe.
The magazine comes out 47 times a year. As you can imagine, oftentimes, for one reason or another (as with your subscriptions), the magazine did not get read. Sometimes there would be an unread pile of five or six. Guilt would set in.
Finally after about eight or nine years, I stopped my subscription. Occasionally I would pick up one in the airport gift shop and read it on the plane and I continued to subscribe to the cartoon newsletter. It came to my email inbox with all the cartoons once a week. Then they changed it, and made you click onto their website in order to see the cartoons, so I quit reading it.
TODAY: This morning I got a random email listing the contents of this week's The New Yorker magazine. I guess they had my address and decided to quasi-spam me. I bit.
I clicked on the link and found out that for $59.95 a year, I could get a digital subscription that included the current issue, a one-year subscription and access to EVERY back issue since 1925. Plus they throw in The New Yorker cartoon calendar. I couldn't resist.
I bought the online version, and from now on I will only buy the online version of anything I want to subscribe to or read. Here's why: I go on the airplane, I click The New Yorker magazine icon on my iPad. Then I read this week's issue, I look at this week's cartoons, and I can go back and look at nearly 5,000 other back issues that are searchable by content. Holy magazine, Batman!
REALITY QUESTIONS: Are they trying to discourage me from buying their printed issues? If you have an e-reader, why would you buy any printed magazine?
REALITY FACTS: Newsweek, which had more than 100 years of printed issues, STOPPED PRINTING their magazine. Now you can only get the magazine online.
TODAY: I used to subscribe to Selling Power magazine. It's the voice of salespeople, sales tips, sales techniques, sales lists and sales products.
THE FUTURE IS TODAY: They stopped printing the magazine a few months ago, and only offer an online version. Brilliant. Gerhard Gschwandtner, the founder, publisher and visionary saw that print versions were declining in revenue, and it was time to decide on the future rather than lament the present.
REALITY: Online cuts costs. DRASTICALLY. Online makes advertising more affordable. Online offers more options for the reader to connect with the advertiser. With print ads, the reader has to make a call or go online and search. With online ads, the reader is already online and only has to click the ad to find out more, subscribe to a blog, get a video, go to the advertisers website, or buy something.
I'M ALL IN: Am I missing something here? Value, versatility and instant access. Look for my ad in Selling Power magazine in April. It's an ad I would have NEVER placed in the print version; an ad that is 50 percent less expensive than it was in their printed version; an ad that gives their reader (my prospective customer) instant access to my offer to buy.
FOOLS GOLD: Five years ago I had a talk with some Yellow Pages executives. I asked them how much longer the Yellow Pages would be printed, and when they would be switching to an online version. They smiled and proclaimed, "We're not going to stop printing. The book is our cash cow." And they changed the subject. In the last five years, the book has gone from a cash cow, to a cash calf, to a cash rump roast. And YP.com is more than 10 years late to the dance.
Please don't read this the wrong way. Print is not dead. In fact, it will always be alive. Many people still don't have the ability to get online publications. But the market is making a HUGE shift. There are "only" a few hundred million e-readers and tablets, and a few hundred million more smart phones. The print impact felt by online availability is undeniable.
THINK ABOUT YOU: How much of an impact has your e-reader or tablet made on your reading habits? What are you subscribing to? Has online reading brought you greater convenience and availability? Easier access and more incentive to stay current?
And finally, what are your plans to make your products and services "online available"?
THINK ABOUT THIS: Every time you see someone reading on a tablet, they could be reading about you!
