Rupert Murdoch… Google is your friend

Posted by Brusca under Uncategorized

Rupert Murdoch wants to make people pay for their content and remove that paid content from Google search results. It’s scary watching this video, you soon realise that Rupert (all powerful) really doesn’t have a true grasp on the internet. Making people pay for your content completely and removing your search results from Google. News Corp need Google more than Google needs News Corp. The bright side is this opens a big door for smaller competitors to get a bigger market share in this area, so with that in mind I say, Rupert go for it.

    “What’s the point in having someone come occasionally who likes a headline they see in Google?”

    “…and when they click it, sure, they get the PAGE for that story that’s in our paper, but you know… who knows who they are, or where they are…”

    Oh Rupey. At least TRY to understand the internets.

    I take his point about the degradation of editorial content, though. I do worry that it will inevitably decline as the medium changes.

    I agree about the degradation of editorial content. Content is king.

    Rupert just needs to find a better (advertising) model, and to stay off the internets and also hire some young cool cat to talk for him.
