Gawking at the Washington Post
Huffington Post
So: how can Washington Post compete against Gawker’s 10x content output advantage and probably 40x cost advantage? Answer: they can’t if they compete in creating the same kinds of content. Question: do you think the Washington Post piece was worth 10 times more to you as a reader than the Gawker piece was? Was it worth 40 times more to you as a reader? Wikipedia vs. BritannicaSee for instance Britannica’s original response to Wikipedia. Wikipedia offered basic general information easily for free usually with links out to more substantial info. Whether or not Wikipedia is “as good as” Britannica matters not a whit to its millions of readers: it is “good enough” for them meaning that the sale value of “just providing basic general information” got a lot closer to zero all of a sudden. I’m not sure how Britannica is doing these days but if it is to survive it has to innovate in ways that deliver more value than “just providing basic general information. ” And its in that added value where the new business opportunities lie (and I don’t claim to know the answers for Britannica).
