Retweeted by David PakmanEDM's rise is the cultural re-ascension of experience over the shrill tyranny of narrative. Ecstatic bliss over Ira Glass. McLuhan said so.

@arieldiaz well said. fully agree.@arieldiaz That is also true, but my point is that labels set royalty rates too high, retailers can't make money.@kprentiss I mean not sure what you mean?@kprentiss not sure what you need?We sat down with Dollar Shave Club CEO Michael Dubin to ask: Butt wipes? Really? (and other questions) http://t.co/LWZq0E7Ibr
Retweeted by David PakmanMy gut is that 90%+ of physical music was sold profitably and 90%+ of digital music is sold/streamed unprofitably.So, who else is pumped about Google Glass?
Retweeted by David Pakman@billboardglenn @robertblevine_ That's not true. Those retailers were net profitable on music but featured loss leader titles. Apple, not.Evasive. Does NSA access GOOG servers w/o warrant? @ericschmidt: Google does not have a 'back door' for gov't to access private user data"Apple's iRadio shows, once again, the companies dominating online music will be the ones who don't care if they make money from online music

My @walmart account was hacked & fraudulent order placed. I told them within 2 hrs. They still sent items & won't respond #amazonwillkillyou@jonathanglick I agree! But you and I both know Twitter is a media company.@dickc @ryanlawler Social allows crowd to create/curate/distribute, but platform is still a media company (IMO)@dickc @ryanlawler Those of us on the east coast define media companies more broadly: if you sit between consumer and advertiser, you media.@learmonth @aerocles Which is why, IMO, it's: NFLX, YouTube, Amazon as likely biggest disruptors (with MSFT making noises)@learmonth @aerocles Fully agree.@Aerocles @learmonth And Netflix.@learmonth Exactly. Not about the box.@jonathanglick yes yes I know. I thought he might own DM too (didn't check the website..)@learmonth I'm willing to go on record that it will be a terrible flop@jonathanglick Daily Motion@learmonth ROFLInteresting he would forget YouTube/Google - Diller: Apple, Amazon are the potential TV disruptors. "It's a market that is ripe." #D11@bijan @pvzed I think there are other reasons why nets get disrupted beyond product design, like platform shifts (mobile, tablet, etc.)Funny, because it is one. "Twitter Doesn't Want To Become A Media Company, But Will Partner With Them, CEO Says" http://t.co/V15n5S5XQ5. @pakman data already supports. Friendster Bebo, Myspace, AOL, Geocities.

Retweeted by David Pakman@AaronCohen @davetisch Agree. As we stand here today. But that does beg the question…what is after Twitter?@aweissman Yep. We have fragmentation and abandonment today. Will we demand migration? If we abandon FB, do we still use FB connect? (yes)@aweissman I get fragmentation…but maybe migration too? Abandonment at some point?@pakman some have a 10x shorter half life... There is ideally some utility at core that ppl won't leave (FB, LinkedIn, twiiter) all diff...
