  • One iPhone application, a reader called Iceberg developed by the start-up ScrollMotion Inc., will take advantage of the new technology to offer over 170 daily newspaper titles on a paid basis..
    ..another addition announced… "is going to give publishers the technology to redefine publishing news and advertising delivery," said Art Howe, CEO of Verve Wireless… referring to the iPhone's new ability to deliver user-location information at the browser level, meaning a newspaper website, and its advertisers, can now target an individual reader with stories and ads relevant to within a two block radius.

    And on iPhone 3GS allowing video. Rachel Sterne, the founder and chief executive of the citizen journalism site GroundReport "…This [iPhone-to-YouTube function] will support citizen journalism efforts because it trains laymen to be reporters." She posits that the future of citizen journalism lies in the hands of the mobile phone user.

  • "We have crossed the Rubicon.

    Our show has — and so has online video entertainment. The Young Turks now has 92 million views on YouTube alone. We also have over 250,000 views a day on our You Tube channel (often up to 300,000 daily views).

    Our daily views are significantly larger than many cable shows. And our overall YouTube number is now more than an average Super Bowl audience. Over the last ten years, the Super Bowls have averaged 90,421,000 viewers. This is the gold standard of television viewing audience."
