The Web 2.0 Strategy
I could really really recommend Prof Amy Shuens book “ Web 2.0: A strategy guide” by O’Reilly Media which came out last month. Best book on future business models and since Guy Kawasakis “The Art of the Start” and Shapiros book on network effects “Information Rules” . It really give great insights and and “How To” and “how not to do” in the digital space

Media Futurist @ PopAkademie
Yesterday the media Futurist and blogger, author, etc, Gerd Leonhard was at the PopAkademie in Mannheim and spoke about the future of music and the media business.
You could download his presentation @ http://www.mediafuturist.com/files/gerd_leonhard_at_popakademie_mannheim_print.pdf
It was a really cool presentation, although I already saw him at Cebit 08. At the Cebit it was a more general presentation on the future of media. At the PopAkademie he spoke more about the business business and about the marketperspective for artists, labels and the relevance of new business models.
To learn more about his view of the future music market. Download his book, it is for free:

In a nutshell: like in the radio: music is for free and the adverstisment gets more and more important to generate revenue for labels and artists. In additition a “feels like free” flateratemodel is also possible. But what he definitely denied was the itunes like a la carte download. This will not be possible in the future.
Today 95% are not paying for music and I could agree with him, a la carte download has no real future for the mass market as standalone. But for bundle with the broadband, mobile contract, isp etc i really would make sense to combine music offerings and hardware or network access. Good examples: Musicload/Dt Telekom – Arcor/Napster – Nokia/Comes with music etc. I think in other countries more examples could be found that bundles will coming up soon.
Gerd has most of the ideas in one of his videos, ppt or in his book! So i really recommend to read some of his writings!

The SPAM person arrives @ Facebook
After reading this satire magazine in 2004, which had a phenomenal title and outlook what’s coming soon…
Bernd Zeller a former gagwriter of Harald Schmidt was the author of this famous magazine. His new blog is online: http://www.darvins-illustrierte.de/
The first SPAM persons wanted to be connected with me. After a lot of bands want to be your friend on MySpace, now, also Facebook has a problem. Ok, sometimes the MySpace bands are like a manual recommendation system of last.fm and sometimes they are really good, but most of the time it is SPAM in your eMail inbox.
Now, this week it there were 2 persons which requested my friendship. The first one was a faked profil…that is really uninteresting but really funny was the second one. I asked who he is and he answered with a personal mail, that he found me in a group xyz and he wants to recommend to invest in oil 
really cool and also he recommended (sure) a page where I could send my money to…
I think this problem will increase massively in the next years…Sorry, no good analysis on a public holiday. I only wanted to share that with you.
