Since last year the Internet is again on the front page of newspapers. Five years trailing the financial disaster around the Dot-Com Crash and the web is back to life again. Social Media Sites, or so-called Web 2.0 sites, such as Youtube, Facebook and MySpace, are allowing people to share videos, photos, geo information, personal data, ratings and recommendations. Time magazine rightfully declares the person of the year 2006 as “You!”.
Search engines and web directories are playing catch-up with all this “user-generated content”. Traditional media channels are experiencing loss of market share to Online services. Advertisers are discussing the effectiveness of Online ads on user-generated content pages, which are mostly amateurish personal pages. The increasing power of users and their interactive preferences is driving structural change in the media landscape.
The international Media in Transition Conference has an interdisciplinary approach, featuring media-pros, technologists and strategists, and provides the facts for effective business on the Internet. Practical examples are delivered by case studies in diverse areas such as: media technology, user-generated content, digital rights, digital distribution, Online advertisement, global marketing.
The Media in Transition Conference invited successful Internet entrepreneurs, top bloggers and strategists from UK, USA and Europe for two days in Munich, Germany, to discuss the current state-of-the-art topics and business strategies on the web:
