After a 2006 filled with blockbuster mergers, acquisitions
and breakthroughs in the content industry by social media
products the pace of change for content producers in 2007
doesn't promise to slow down a whit - and in fact is likely
to gain steam as a stalling economy promises to push
slow-to-change publishers off the stage altogether and to
accelerate the shift to electronic revenues in Web and
mobile venues. This means that there will be “reality
checks” for both new and emerging players in content and
for established players that had bet on a more leisurely
transition to new sources of revenues. In Outlook 2007
Shore focuses on seven key "A"s for the new year:
Answers, Audience, Aggregation, APIs, Alternatives,
Acceleration and Asia. This complimentary
ShoreViews report provides an overview of Shore’s major
themes for the content industry in 2007.
