(Embedded slides: Flash, no longer available.)

Some examples we discussed:

  • Long tail of music production/ distribution: Liam Finn on myspace Liam Finn
  • Google adsense
  • The Frisian snuff horror movie I discussed is still in pre-production. We still need a star :)

Some books I used in the preparation of the lecture:

  • The network society, a book of Jan van Dijk. It discusses the impact of the new media on social, economic and psychological aspects of life.
  • The long tail by Chris Anderson
  • Republic.com by Cass R. Sunstein about filtering out all information you don’t like
