    NYT: “Papers nationwide have suffered from a sharp decline in advertising in the last two years, along with a slower, long-term slide in circulation. – The Star Tribune has the additional problem of a heavy debt burden it took on two years ago, when a private equity group, Avista Capital Partners, bought the paper for $530 million.”

    Kincaid: “It’s unclear at this point if this is the start of a new trend: has Google slashed all it’s going to in the upcoming months, or are the future of its less popular products in doubt? Knol, Google’s Wikipedia competitor, has largely failed to catch on. And what about Grand Central – the advanced telecom service that has a devout fan base, but still hasn’t been released to the general public?”

    Rubel: “None of these products makes Google a dime and it has me wondering what the future is for Google Reader. … If Google chooses to run ads in Google Reader, that creates an issue. Lots of publishers run ads in their feeds. If Google is competing against these with its own contextual ads in in Reader then what? It might just be easier for them to shut it down. Thank God for OPML exporting. – All I am saying is: don’t bet that Google Reader will stay the same.“

    Arrington: “Thankfully the music industry is always there to do something a little more stupid than they did before to entertain us all.”

    RWW: “In the end, this new policy will only alienate YouTube’s users, while doing nothing to help the struggling music industry.”
