Coffee Shop What’s New? That’ll Cost Ya…

Your trip to the doctor’s offices are never going to be the same. Gone are the days of the oral thermometer (and the rectal one I hope), write it down in the paper chart (designed just to make you wait for the results of the thermometer), and the beeper (designed to let doctors get out of bad dinner parties).

They have been replaced by the tem-poral thermometer (a swipe across the head), the iPad or laptop, and Blackberry (or smart phone of you choice) and the beeper (if your doc-tor still has one… please back your-self out of the examining room)!

But the biggest change will happen even before you make it to the exam-ining room… it will be in the waiting room. What soon will be missing is the magazine. Newsweek an-nounced that it is halting publication at the end of the year.. What’s next? Home & Garden… People… and (hold your breath) Field & Stream? If you have not noticed… maga-zines and newspapers get thinner and thinner and then disappear (like breeds of endangered animals). RIP Newsweek!

RIP Chicago Tribune Online…

Fast forward to newspapers… The Chicago Tribune online is now go-ing to charge for access (not the first or the last to try this). “The Chicago Tribune will begin charg-ing for its online content, an editor said Wednesday, making it the third

and last Chicago metro area daily newspaper to do so.”. You may not be able to read this later because the publisher “The Daily Herald” charges for content also.

It’s not like you can’t read news an-ymore…. what’s going away is the free community! My wife Kim is more patient than I. She would read an article, then spend more time reading the comments to get the pulse of the other readers. I would breeze them but never dig into like she would. Kim says that… “The real story can often be seen through those who comment on it.”.

Farewell Free Facebook???

So Facebook created Brand Pages… Then after their failed IPO (failed in the sense that now they have to answer to stockholders and not us-ers anymore), they introduced “Pro-moted Posts”. If you want to reach all your fans or potential audience… drop the cost of 1-2 Starbucks lattes and we will remove limits that stop you from communicating to them like you could before? Now they have added the same feature to everyone’s posts. You can “Promote Posts” to your friends so all of them can see what you ate for dinner. That get’s your post higher up the news feed.

The best comment I got on the above post was someone suggested chang-ing “Promote” to “Donate to Face-book” : ) I am sure that the average person is not going to be willing to pay for what was originally a free ser-vice. They will more than likely ig-nore that option, or jump on the next train their friends are willing to try (Pintrest, Twitter, etc.). The #FAIL is not the platform, it’s more about the rush to monetization and forget-ting about (or just not understand-ing) it’s customers!

Final Thoughts

In most peoples lives, the only con-stant is “Change”. Newspapers are trying to stay relevant, but they offer you yesterday’s news today. Maga-zines offer you last weeks news at best. It’s hard to compete with the immediacy of Google, Facebook and Twitter. iPhones and other smart phones are changing the way we communicate. Most have cam-eras that take better pictures or vid-eos than your digital camera. iPads,

Kindles, and other tablets are port-able digital eReaders that let you choose your own content (some free & some paid) and take it with you to let’s say… the doctor’s office.

The new IOS6 on the iPhone 5 & iPad 3 with integrated Facebook & Twitter, makes sharing and posting so easy, that the amount of content being generated is growing at a rap-id pace. Apps likeFlipboard, covert your Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn feeds and more – into your own per-sonalized Digital Magazine (Zite is another good option). Both are Free!

You can feel sorry for Publishers Clearing House, or the solicitors selling magazines, but soon, they are going to have to get a new gig. It’s like when the “Psychic Friends Net-work” went bankrupt… Who Saw That Coming???
