The Internet as we know it is now over 30 years old, and author John Battelle says we must get over the ‘extraordinary inertia' of the system we've built. He would know: As a founder of WIRED Magazine and as an entrepreneur himself, John's been tracking and writing about the evolution of technology and its impact on society for a long time. What exactly is the difference between what he calls “the internet that we have and the one that we deserve”? Why are we now at an inflection point? Can we still fix the system? How would monetization work in this world?Highlights from this conversation include:the early days of WIRED and the first banner adwhat's wrong with the Internet we havewhy we're at an inflection point nowBattelle's take on Threadsthoughts on monetizing the open social web
Like many things in our country, media is broken – badly. It's hard to know where to start to fix it. Media outlets who once prided themselves on rigor and objectivity are now forced to pander to the biases of their tribal audiences, lest they lose viewers and advertisers to the countless other things vying for our attention. Algorithms help to promote the most sensational and divisive content possible – all while our private data is collected under murky terms. On this week's episode of The Dumbest Guy in the Room, host John Dick welcomes John Battelle, a legendary journalist who helped create Wired magazine 30 years ago and has launched several influential companies since then, including The Recount. The two discuss Twitter, TikTok, the future of privacy, and the role advertisers can play in saving media – and saving us from it.
Pílula de cultura digital para começarmos bem a semana
The Internet killed magazines. Or, if it didn't kill them, it at least made magazines significantly less culturally relevant. But before it did all that, it managed to inspire the largest magazine ever published: The Industry Standard.Back when the Internet seemed as likely to be a temporary phenomenon as it did an integral part of life, John Battelle launched The Industry Standard to explore the story of the emerging technology and examine how it was going to change the world. It quickly became the most popular publication for people in the Internet industry. If you cared about the Internet, you read it. And, if you wanted to "be someone" on the Internet, you advertised in it.Soon, The Industry Standard would be so full of articles and advertisements that John's team literally didn't have the manpower to include anymore. Then the bubble burst, and... well... you'll have to listen to this episode of Web Masters to find out what happened.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

John Battelle is co-founder and CEO of Recount Media. Founded in 2018, they have developed “a new approach to politics” that “won’t waste your time,” by collating current affairs content to create videos that reflect the modern consumers’ shorter attention span. His eclectic career has encompassed two professorships and co-founding Wired magazine. He also wrote the best-selling book, ‘The Search: How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture,’ regarded as the definitive take on the subject. In this in-depth interview, John reflects on a long career in the media industry, seeing it lose almost half of its journalists and suggests what must be done to tackle its decline; argues that big tech are stifling smaller companies’ ability to innovate by withholding data from developers and creators; and in the lead up to an election marred by fake news and disinformation, shares his frustrations that “free speech doesn’t mean free reach” - and how the election result may need a ‘recount’ in more ways than one...
John Battelle lives at the bleeding edge and intersection of technology, media and these days, politics. He is an entrepreneur, innovator and change maker. I probably first knew of him when he as at the forefront of the Web 2.0 movement and then got to know him when he ran Federated Media. These days he is focusing his passion and efforts on running The Recount, “a new approach to video about politics that won't waste your time or insult your intelligence.” Learn more about your ad choices.

John Battelle is an entrepreneur, author and journalist. Best known for his work creating media properties, Battelle helped launch Wired in the 1990s and launched The Industry Standard during the dot-com boom. In 2005, he founded the online advertising network Federated Media Publishing. Most recently, Battelle launched "The Recount," which he describes as “a unique video mashup of each day’s reporting and commentary from across the broadcast, cable, and social platforms.”
John Battelle is a leader responsible for a large part of inspiring the direction of digital, and the Co-Founder and CEO of Recount Media. John discusses why he moved from Northern California to New York, ways we can reimagine fundamental things in society using data, and why his students at Columbia University give him great hope for the future. John also shares his thoughts and opinions about the Facebook Oversight Board and the kind of market pressures he feels we need to encourage. Takeaways: ● John is the Co-Founder and CEO of Recount Media, an author, founder of seven companies, and an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University. ● The assumptions we had in the early internet did not prevail, yet instead informed the leaders of the massive tech industries in the ideals and values that they have today. What is different, however, is the set of cultural regulations around the rules, and a community to remind us to filter and stay on a topic. ● We’ve got platforms driven by advertising models, which are two or three steps from human control and driven more by engagement rather than community regulatory norms. ● The Recount is a company reinventing the video format around the story of politics. They are taking advantage of the original ideas and creating a powerful new business model around data. ● The Facebook Oversight Board is a group of independent jurors, intentionally diverse but appointed by Facebook, who will hear cases that come up, and determine whether or not that case should be adjudicated. It will inform policy, but not set policy. ● John explains the market mechanism approach to how companies may be broken up, and how he is on the side of allowing new companies to liberate the data of the big existing ones. Quotes: ● “You really need several different voices on a topic to get your head around it.” ● “I would not call political Twitter a community.” ● “I’m on the side of allowing new companies that can rise up, and in order to do that, we need to liberate the data.” Mentioned in This Episode: Codev2, by Lawrence Lessig The Interface “As We May Think” — The Atlantic The WELL The Search: How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture, by John Battelle WIRED Columbia University The Recount The Circus Showtime “A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace” Facebook Oversight Board “Why Mark Zuckerberg’s Oversight Board May Kill His Political Ad Policy”

The buzz: The Internet of Who (Whom)? The Internet was created in 1969 to facilitate the free flow of information. The IoT inherited this spirit. Fast forward to 2016. With cameras and emerging connected devices collecting and reporting data about our lives, it seems we're designing the IoT to quantify and see ourselves clearly, like a virtual mirror. It's time to take a step back and examine what this all means and whom it benefits now and in the future. What to call it? The “IoT of the Self”. Are you ready or do you need to run for cover? The experts speak. Gray Scott, Futurist: “Technological advances could allow us to see more clearly into our own lives” (Kevin Kelly). David Jonker, SAP: “… if hundreds of millions of people do that, you have a big cloud of data about people's behavior that can be crawled through by pattern recognition algorithms” (John Battelle, The Human Face of Big Data). Join us for Here's Looking at YOU, Kid: IoT of the Self and CyberCrime – Part 3.

Drones deployed to keep migrants and refugees out of Channel Tunnel amid warnings of post-Brexit surge Eurotunnel operates the 30-mile tunnel between Britain and France, and they had already been thinking about tracking people seeking asylum. With the Brexit vote, they are even more concerned about migrants passing through the tunnel before it becomes more difficult to get into Britain. To help address this, Eurotunnel has demonstrated using small surveillance drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras if they believe people are in the 18-mile secure zone surrounding the tunnel entrance in France.

Summary:Younger listeners might know John Battelle as being one of the original forces behind the Web 2.0 movement, as the founder of the Web 2.0 Summit as well as Federated Media. But John was also the founding editor of both Wired Magazine and Industry Standard magazine, that great, lost magazine of record for the dot com era. For our purposes, we’ve been focusing more on HotWired, so that’s why I was super excited to speak with John and get some of the background stories from Wired the magazine as well as Industry Standard.
