Erm Dublin Skank.. say after me “skank to the right, skank to the left!” .. OMG!
Days after my blog post “Pay walls going up for Irish traditional media“, the very people who inspired confidence in pay walls for online regional new publishers are now taking them right back down again. I hate to tell you I told you so, but ..
Johnston Press is to drop the paywalls it implemented on a number of its local newspapers from next week, Press Gazette understands
The regional publisher erected barriers on two of its Scottish and four of its English weekly newspaper websites in November as part of a trial to “get an understanding of what the customer dynamic is around paid-for content”.

This week a number of Irish regional news websites have started charging for content. Chances are that you haven’t already spotted this. I say that this because if you are anything like me, you probably consume media a lot differently than the masses.
Before I start, I want you to know that I was previously in gainful employment with the Irish Independent and worked in the team and on the platform behind these regional web sites. Although its been over a year since I worked there, I have some understand of why they might have decided to charge for content. Before I start to explain the rationale, I want you to know that I think that this move will prove in time to be a huge mistake. Anyone who is in advertising might tell you that this move will more than likely obliterate most of the traffic and advertising revenue on these on-line publications. Read the rest of this entry »

Last week, I went to a really interesting session about hotels and bogging set up by Ciara Feely. KeithBohanna was speaking to a group of hoteliers about promoting themselves via blogs / twitter.
I found it quite interesting that the first barrier for most of the hoteliers was the lack expertise to set up a branded hotel blog. With that in mind, I decided to come up with this offer.
For a limited time, I am offering a number of Irish hoteliers the chance to get a blog installed / customised* free of charge. To top that off.. If you are a small hotel / b&b , I will also give you a free one-to-one crash course on twitter.
If you are in the hotel space and looking for a blog I would love to hear from you. If you know anyone in the tourism space who might be interested please pass this ton to them.
I spotted this trend on google a few weeks back. It seems like Irish people have something new on their mind (an interesting mindset). The graphs look like a mirror image of each other. Maybe daft.ie should move into the adult entertainment business… Updated.. made this Safe for Work
