MS 190: Authorship is the course website for the Fall 2006 Media Studies senior seminar at Pomona College in Claremont, California.
internet who cares
Since I'm sure no one is actually reading blog posts now that the semester is over, and most people are probably writing fervently to finish their blogs, I won't take much care with the words I use, grammar, speliing, or punctuation. I feel like I'm actually typing this for nobody, which is liberating.
Well, the other day, was reading a Newsweeks article about the internet. Now, I don't know statistics, and I can't remember if the article addressed this issue specifically, but I'm just guessing that if it's not already a more lucrative medium than television, it surely will be one day. In fact, I bet in our lifetimes, all television is broadcast through some sort of an "internet" connection.
Anyways, the article was about coming up with a sort of Nielsen rating system for the internet, similar to the system in place for television. The internet has a system for selling advertising just like any other medium, including television. It's all about counting the number of people who are viewing the site, and how long they are viewing it for. There are many companies that are all struggling to be "the" company. In other words, it's generally predicted that there won't be many companies doing this. There will be 1 that gets most all of the business. Similar to the Nielsen company for television. I guess this is the nature of these things. One of these companies will prove themselves to be the best, and they will be the Nielsen of the internet. Among these companies is the actual Nielsen company, but I hope they don't get it. Cause that would just be stupid.
