• Germany gets personalised print newspaper made up of blog posts and newspaper articles
  Today I should have received my first edition of Niuu, a personalised print newspaper comprised of articles taken from various blogs and newspapers. Delivery time should be between 4 AM and 6 AM so that people can read it over breakfast. Niiu has contracts with mostly German newspapers like Bild, Frankfurter Rundschau and Handelsblatt but also with the Washington Times and The International Herald Tribune. Readers can use the Niiu website to customise which page of a newspaper they want to read in the morning. Local news from Berliner Morgenpost can easily be combined with Sports from Bild and the New York Times’ frontpage with just a few clicks. Content can always be reshuffled for the next day’s edition. Even Russia’s Komsomolskaja Prawda is a partner as well as blogs like Cult of Mac, Slashdot and Netzpolitik.

• Research: Readers Favour News Micropayments—But They’ll Only Pay Pennies | paidContent:UK
  Sure, some readers will pay for online news content via single-article micropayments, but only if the price tag is very low. That’s according to a report from analysts at Continental Research, which found that 63 percent of a 500-person survey ruled out paying for online news content. Of those that would consider getting their wallets out to pay for Times Online and the rest, three quarters agreed their upper price limit was a measly 10p.
• Technology Review: Blogs: Jason Pontin's blog: How to Save Media
  If media companies can't earn money, and everyone is a journalist, it follows that "amateurs" (Shirky) and "sources" (Winer) will be part of a "decentralized" media (Winer), whose stories will be distributed by "excitable 14-year-olds" (Shirky). This is all folly and ignorance. Shirky, Winer, and other evangelists know nothing about the business of media.

• How To Spam Facebook Like A Pro: An Insider’s Confession
  Did you know how Mark Zuckerberg supported Facebook in the early days, before he got venture funding? Casino ads. And how about those advertisers who were making over $100,000 a day selling Acai Berry and other weight loss products – they are friends of mine, pioneers of new advertising channels. You see those ads saying “Inbox (5). Nick, someone in San Francisco has a crush on you!” (with your name, profile picture, and city in the ad). I generated millions of dollars from these offers on Facebook – I am not proud of it, but it was very lucrative. I will walk you through how these online scams work on Facebook and other social networks – the mechanics of how the money is made, some of the people involved, and who is actually clicking on ads. If you’re reading this article, there is a good chance that you are not the type of person actually clicking on these spam ads, but are you curious as to who actually is?
