  • The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan: Murdoch and Sirius [and Howard Stern] – Says a reader: How did he go from a must-hear personality who was constantly in the news for his antics or his outrageousness to a "whatever happened to?" has been? Simply, he was put behind a pay wall. Oprah has her own channel, but I've never heard it mentioned. If the King of All Media and a woman who has enough influence to swing a national election can't get people to pay, why on earth does Murdoch think he can?

  • The Simple Dollar » The Truth About Grocery Store Flyers – So, a few weeks ago, when I took a long look at the flyers from my grocery stores of choice, I happened to notice that some of the “big sales” listed in the flyer weren’t on sale at all. The price was exactly the same as what I usually paid.

    What gives? I did some research – calling and emailing a few people I know in the grocery business – and I came up with a few interesting facts about grocery store flyers.

  • Pinch Media Data Shows The Average Shelf Life Of An iPhone App Is Less Than 30 Days – Free apps tend to be run 6.6 times more often than paid apps, but even with that increased usage, it is not enough to make more money. Yardley offers some quick math. The average paid app returns $0.70/user. The average free app is run 80 sessions. In order to earn the same as a paid app on a per user basis, the free app would have to command an $8.75 CPM (cost per thousand ad impressions). But most iPhone app ad rates are in the $0.50 to $2.00 range. That is assuming on ad per session. The other option is to bombard users with more ads, which might scare them away.

    Yardley estimates that less than 5 percent of all apps woul dmake more money right now with advertising than charging for paid downloads. His advice: “Unless there is something inherent about the app that screams free, sell it.”

  • Black September | The Big Picture – September 2008 marked the beginning…
  • Robert Reich’s Blog: And Now Deflation – The good news is that all this price cutting is helping average people at a time when wages and benefits, and jobs, are also being cut. The bad news is it's also cutting deep into producer profits, causing them to cut even more jobs and wages. The big danger is it may cause some consumers to delay purchases, thinking they can get a better deal when prices drop further. That's a self-fulfilling prophesy. If more and more consumers take this view, sellers will have to reduce prices further to get them to buy now. That may sound good until you realize it means more layoffs, and more cuts in wages and benefits.
