SIAA Preview Keynote

I gave a keynote at the Information Industry Summit yesterday during the "preview session" which features emerging information businesses.

We've been investing in information businesses for years at the various firms I've worked for and I've watched the business change a lot in recent years. So when I thought about what to talk about, I decided that it was time to talk about reality. That information is getting less expensive everyday and the value in information businesses is moving from the content itself to the way the content is delivered.

The title of the talk is "Does Information Want To Be Free" and it's available as a PDF here.

And thanks to Scribe Media, here is a video of my presentation.

You can also see a video of the Q&A session that followed at Scribe Media (same link as above).
