What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?

Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry.

    Read comments #28, 35, 37, 100, 113, 138, and 201 to this New York Times story on the sale of Hu-Po to AOL: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/07/business/media/07aol.html

    Looks like Arianna has proved that there is money in blogging, getting all of the "exposure" that she could have desired, in the process.

    Will AOL now pay writers a nickel a story (a huge increase from Hu-Po rates)? Will it allow travel writers to accept free or discounted travel?

    Stay tuned.

    I'm with Judy. Exposure doesn't pay the mortgage.
  • Lucy Beebe Tobias February 7, 2011 at 6:56pm
    Amen, Judy, "show me the money"
  • Judy Wells February 7, 2011 at 5:09pm
    Just how much "exposure" does anyone need? I'd rather have paying assignments, thank you very much.
  • Donna Hull February 7, 2011 at 5:05pm
    Well said, Allan. I wonder how Huffington's writers feel about all that free exposure now. Adrianna's laughing all the way to the bank. However, will AOL follow suit and adopt the "we don't pay for content" strategy now that they've purchased Huffington Post?

    At 6:30 am as I lay in bed checking my flights, I thought how screwed up have we become, taking technology and not people to bed with us…

     

    So The Huffington Post has been sold. One tech-billionaire on the morning news was really excited and claimed this was further proof of the death of print. Except that he then went to say the brilliance of Huffington’s model was to aggregate other people’s information and news under her brand.

     

    Given that more and more print publications are putting up pay walls, reducing the amount of ‘free’ material on the web, I wonder if Huffington’s brilliance is in knowing when to jump ship and cash in.

     

    And let’s not forget that AOL’s history isn’t littered with insightful – or profitable – media buys.

     

    I wonder if all those people who wrote for free for Huffington will now get a little thank you cheque from Ariana? That would probably be a bookkeeping nightmare, so maybe not. Oh well, they can take comfort that they allowed an already wealthy woman in a down economy to move on with her life.
