Comments on: D-Day for news publishers? http://ifocos.org/2007/12/06/d-day-for-news-publishers/ INSTITUTE FOR THE CONNECTED SOCIETY Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:11:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Jim Kennedy http://ifocos.org/2007/12/06/d-day-for-news-publishers/comment-page-1/#comment-23604 Jim Kennedy Wed, 12 Dec 2007 22:04:07 +0000 http://ifocos.org/2007/12/06/d-day-for-news-publishers/#comment-23604 Dale has totally missed the point of this effort, which is to improve discovery of relevant news content, not block it. The new ACAP tools would enable publishers to precisely target their content for search (or any other machine-based online use). And, yes, the new protocols contain features that allow publishers to permission the display of content beyond simple links. Tom Curley's point is that publishers want to engage all new uses and platforms, but we must be able to share in the value that those uses create. Seems to me like a mission iFocos ought to consider supporting. There are no enemies here.
