Dear Big Media: This Internet Thing Could be Huge One Day

Big thinker Jeff Jarvis takes to his blog for a wrap up of his Davos trip:

Perhaps the most important ‘ding’ moment I had at Davos was that the powerful are, no surprise, one step behind in their understanding of the true significance of the internet [...]

In media terms, I said at Davos and here on the blog that we have seen a small-scale version of this progression:
1. First, big media let us interact with them, about their stuff.
2. Then big media beg us to give them our stuff.
3. Now we realize that our stuff is ours — not user-generated content for the big guys — and we expect them to come to us.

In unrelated news: “Viacom demands Google, YouTube to pull 100,000 clips.”
