Media is a Platform. Discuss. Under Web 1.0, eyeballs were king and old media was dead. But as the Web 2.0 era unfolds, we're learning that things are a bit more complicated, and media is evolving, slowly but surely, into new forms and formats. How can powerful brands like the New York Times thrive in an age where content is understood to be free? What happens when the web is capable of distributing massive video files effortlessly and without significant economic impact? What are the new publishing models emerging on the web, and how can media be used as a platform to leverage them? [Web 2.0 Conference audio on IT Conversations]
In this half-crazy, half-serious presentation, best-selling Mac author and New York Times columnist David Pogue takes a funny, whirlwind look back at Apple's greatest (and dimmest) momentsÂ… pauses to analyze the promise and perils of Mac OS XÂ…and then fast-forwards to 2020 to imagine what Apple--and Microsoft--might bring us on the road to Mac OS XX. [IT Conversations audio from the Mac OS X Conference]
As expected, today's show contains a rundown of the new gear, mashups and hittest interruptus

If you work with Microsoft products on a regular basis, its a good idea to keep up with what they are working on. One woman keeps a critical eye on Redmond, watching for all the latest developments and aggregating them in one tidy location. Mary Jo Foley has been tracking Microsoft for 10 years, breaking news good and bad at Microsoft Watch. Chris managed to capture her thoughts on IE 7, Longhorn and the future of Linux at Microsoft during a MSN party tied to SES.Listen to Mary Jo Foley in WMA Listen to Mary Jo Foley in MP3
Its hard to understand why anyone needs addition Web search options beyond Google, MSN and Yahoo, but there seem to be plenty of companies trying to add more search products to the space. One of these companies, Blowsearch tried to convince us we really needed to advertise with them in order to reach our target market. We remain unconvinced, but did see something else they have that drew our attention - Blowsearch Secured Messenger. Blowsearch created a messaging product that combines the convenience of unifying AIM, Yahoo IM, MSN Messenger and ICQ into one product with the security of encrypted communication over the Blowsearch Secured Messaging platform. Chris got the lowdown on BSM in this interview.Listen to Blowsearch in WMA Listen to Blowsearch in MP3
We love RSS, yes we do. We love RSS, how about you? Topix.net is possibly the single largest repository of content aggregated via RSS. One of their specialties is localization. If you live in a small town, chances are, Topix has a feed specifically gathering news about your town. Shortly after a session on RSS at SES, Chris Tolles, VP of Sales and Marketing, had a candid chat with Chris Pirillo about Topix services, RSS, content aggregation and the future of small publishing. Dont be fooled by the sales and marketing stuff in his title, Chris Tolles has some sharp opinions on many subjects and he wasnt trying to sell us anything.Listen to Chris Tolles in WMA Listen to Chris Tolles in MP3
Search engine strategists live and die by the traffic numbers of their online campaigns. As a result, many of the booths at SES were hosted by members of the metrics tracking profession. Passing through the Hilton lobby, Chris snagged a few minutes with Brett Crosby, co-founder of statistics tracker, Urchin. Brett offers a fair assessment of tracking options available in the version of Urchin bundled with many Web hosting plans compared against the full-fledged stats monster. When asked about stats from Urchins recent chest rental, Brett defers in what we believe is fear of an impending price hike for breast bone billboards.

Malcolm Gladwell is back on IT Conversations to discuss his new book, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. Dr. Moira Gunn asks him, "Do you really think there's a science of decision?" We have two kinds of thought, Malcolm says. The first is the rational, deliberate and conscious thought that we analyze and cherish. The other is the kind of thinking that occurs below the level of awareness, and it doesn't happen slowly and deliberately, but really quickly. We tend to dismiss the latter in our society, but in the past few years psychologists have referred to this as the product of the adaptive unconscious. It's a kind of a big computer that does all the background tasks. It's powerful and fast, but because it's not part of our consciousness, it's rather mysterious.
Join Moira for another great (audio) interview with an IT Conversations favorite.
Unbelievable...another forty-minute show, packed once again with great info including a stealth mic demo, what to look for in a web host, whether or not you need OPML, connecting Skype to phones, the legality of music in podcasts, an interview with Matthew Bischoff from ESC Radio, and more!
