"Postmodernism is a change-or-be-changed world. The word is out: Reinvent yourself for the 21st century or die! Some would rather die than change." Leonard Sweet, cultural historian.

It’s all in the headlines

Let’s have a little fun with I Want Media headlines today to get a view away from the forest in today’s rapidly-changing world. For the uneducated, I Want Media is an excellent media observation Website and newsletter that I read every day. What’s different about today? I don’t know. It’s kind of like the stars are lining up for something big, I guess. Here are the headlines:

  • MySpace Seeks Link With Google or Microsoft
  • Google Gains in Search Market, MySpace Enters Race
  • Schools Address MySpace Phenom: Teen Blog Watch is On
  • Google to Reinvent TV Ads
  • Yahoo Shaking Up Its Media Division
  • TV Advertising’s DVR Challenge
  • Media Firms Snapping Up Tech Start-Ups
  • Tribune Buys ForSaleByOwner.com
  • AP Teams Up With Topix to Boost Newspaper Sites
  • Newspapers: Too Late to Face Online Threat?
  • Meredith to Yank Child Magazine Off Newsstands
  • Hearst’s Natmags in Online Expansion
  • Swedish Magazine Giant Nabs Stake in Saveur Parent
Okay, let’s review. Google, MySpace, Yahoo and Microsoft are linking, gaining, entering, reinventing, and shaking up. Tech start-ups are getting snapped up. Schools are addressing. TV advertising has a challenge. It’s too late for newspapers, who are buying and teaming up. Magazines are biting the dust and expanding online.

And this is just one day of stories. Do you see the trends here?
