Fragmented doesn't mean disconnected
In the continuing debate between Bloggers and Journalists, Murdoch and Google, iPad and Perfect-bound, I find myself reiterating a phrase, having heard it many times over the years within the walls of ad agencies and communication firms, "They don't get it."
If they do, they're spending more money and effort in keeping it from happening, instead of jumping on and enjoying what is becoming an exciting ride.
Here are some interesting services, both technologically-driven and people-driven (people-centric?), that have some interesting service offerings. I'm not sure their services care if you're a blogger or a journalist.
Demotix
Journalism for the 21st Century.
"UK-based Demotix, which was launched in 2008 in response to a "mass shrinkage" in foreign news coverage by mainstream media, has built up a network of 'street reporters' and has sold their images on to major news organisations, including the Telegraph and Guardian."
Daylife
Organizing and distributing the world's news.
"Daylife, whose technology is used on the websites of Sky News, USA Today, the Guardian and the Telegraph, was founded in 2005 and has a strategic partnership with Getty Images."

Fasionista, The Social Shopper
Retality, a client of ECHO, has a great post on the upcoming transformation of shopping online and in-store.
"At what point does the in-home shopping experience come close to the in-store shopping experience?" Read the entire post here.
This touches lightly on the fact that a computer screen/TV won't always be enough for consumers. If you have the time, read one of my recent posts from last year, concerning the integration and necessity of retail, as an experience--to be shared, here. This post includes a few of my thoughts on how and why mobile will make desktop obsolete in certain ways.

Imagine a brand landscape defined by the individual; the consumer, the prospect, the common surveyor–a marketplace that evolves organically based on consumer interaction and feedback. A company and their agency-both accountable for their products, services and ideas. Knowledge is growing directly in relation to the amount of people contributing to it without regard for social or economical barriers. Language barriers don't exist. Knowledge is systematic growth based on interoperation without ration. Mass communications leveraged by the individual. Products and services rising and falling on their own merits. Someone googles "sucker born everyday," every minute. Advertising talks too much, art requires no explanation and we live in the middle. Create relevancy.
