2006 World Digital Publishing Conference notes

Here are summaries of presentations at the 2006 World Digital Publishing Conference in London, along with some fantastic quotes.

Selected quotes from the conference:

"We need to realize that our star software developers are as important to our business as our star journalists. I think if we said this three years ago, it would have been heresy, but I think it is true."
-- Carolyn McCall, Chief Executive, Guardian Media Group, United Kingdom

"Let’s stop being prey, let’s start being predators. Think like a venture capitalist, think like a start-up. There are opportunities here but if you look at Craigslist and Yahoo and Google and cry in your beer, you won’t get anywhere. Start looking for opportunities to attack and start looking for opportunities to do it in a calculated way, in a business-like way."
-- Bob Benz, General Manager of Interactive Media, Scripps Newspapers, United States

"We used to think that everyone should read the newspaper because it is a daily necessity. But we have had to rethink our assumptions. We must make the newspaper adapt to changes in lifestyle."
-- Takashi Ishioka, Digital Business Project, Asahi Shimbun, Japan

"Integration is more than simply moving desks. It’s about changing mindsets. Newsrooms and journalists already recognise that on-line is becoming increasingly important -- the shift is not as radical as it would have been five years ago.
-- Angus Frame, Editor, globeandmail.com, Canada

"I’m always astonished at how people want to throw away their privacy and put in on the internet. But they want to say, ’hello, this is me, this is my life.’"
-- Carl Rohde, President, Signs of the Times, Cool Hunt Research, the Netherlands

"What we really want to do is make the New York Times into the New York Times website, and not try to build something that isn’t us."
-- Neil Chase, Director of the Continuous News Desk, The New York Times, USA

"Never underestimate the power of a million amateurs with the keys to the factory."
-- Carl Rohde, President, Signts of the Times, The Netherlands, on bloggers and others who are enabled by new technology.

"We knew we needed hundreds of little boats in the water to compete with Yahoo."
-- Dan Pacheco, Senior Manager of Digital Products, The Bakersfield Californian,USA, on the paper’s strategies of having multiple websites for niche audiences.

"The only certainty is something will come along that we aren’t aware of yet."
-- Pete Clifton, Head of BBC News Interactive, UK

Often we forget the little guy, the SMB, in our discussions of the comings and goings of the Internet marketing industry. Sure there are times like this when a report surfaces talking about their issues and concerns but, for the most part, we like to talk about big brands and how they do the Internet marketing thing well or not so well.
