On-demand production

Mar05
2011

Since Hulu, and Neflix have become popular, people have discussed ‘on-demand’ consumption, wherein the consumer can choose when to consume a movie or TV show, just as she chooses when to listen to a song.

Can there be a similar ‘on-demand’ production paradigm?

I’m thinking of this because I’ve starting publishing a weekly magazine. Magazine’s are usually weekly, and I wanted the challenge of meeting a deadline. But it causes much stress, and there is not a demand to warrant it. I do have to create demand. But do I still have to create an issue each week at the same time?

Welp, of course I do not HAVE to do anything. And of course, often times a brand new thing does not have fans, or demand. But as I try to interest people in the content, I am wary of promising a weekly output.

Output should be constantly POSSIBLE, but collected into something PERIODICALLY. I think that is the new model. So I will switch over to a Blog, and then inform ‘followers’ when a new ‘magazine’ is available.

Blogger Profiles: Only One per User

Ahh, Blogger. I’m back! I’ve been away for a week, in Ireland, and in that time I have forgotten one of the things which bugs me about Blogger: it allows just one profile per user, rather than multiple profiles, to be assigned to various Blogs to which the user contributes.

Pretty confounding, the policy. A blog is specialized, geared to a particular interest from a unique point of view. Should not the Profile likewise be customised to fit the blog?

I have a second blog, in which I ramble about most anything, in a ‘freewheelin’ manner. The blog can be a bit informal and insulting, providing a bulwark against me ever obtaining employment by a company that has U.S. government contracts. Readers of the blog who click “About Me->profile” will see that I’m a “user interface designer.” Why? Because that is the profile I created when creating this here blog. When I realized Blogger was all about a UNIFIED BEING, enforcing a one to many relationship among profiles and blogs, I retained the new profile.

Now, I think I’ll remove the “modular” altogether, and insert custom HTML in each blog’s pane, that identifies a unique profile.

In the meantime, the brains at Google might consider allowing multiple profiles.
