可见，今年9月，美国报纸网站的月独立访问者超过5800万，占美国活跃Internet用户的37.03%。

2006年上半年，美国报纸网站的每月独立访问者人数增长31%：

今年上半年平均5550万人，去年同期为4220万。
更重要的是，吸引了更多更年轻的访问者。25-34岁的访问者增15%，18-24岁的访问者增10%。
相反，印刷版报纸的读者人数在下降：《The New York Times》读者人数降5.8%，为470多万人；美国最大的报纸《USA Today》读者人数跌3%，约690万人；《The Wall Street Journal》读者人数基本持平，为510万人；《The Chicago Tribune》读者人数降12.5%，为160万人；《Los Angeles Times》读者人数减9%，为220万人。

美国报纸网站访问人数上升到原因在于：报纸网站引入了新的内容和应用，包括视频和播客，以及建立起平台，让当地公众贡献和分享思想、看法和信息。

// 1）夸张点，美国网民看报纸网站，中国网民看门户新闻。有多少网民看解放日报集团的解放网，解放网上的新闻如何RSS订阅？2）Web2.0和用户贡献内容（UGC）的引入，对报纸网站的访问上升产生了促进。

15:16 Blogger 准备要赚钱之 Review Me » DBA notes

注:这是一篇付费评论文章(The following is a paid review).

不久前，我写过一篇《Blogger 们准备要赚钱?!》，当时我的基本观点是国内的 Blog 环境 "赚钱可以，但现在还不是时候，可以提前进场热热身"。最近在 Blog 圈子内对 Review Me 的模式反响很大，Blogger 如何赚钱这个话题，又给我们带来了一个可能性。

我比较感兴趣的是每个 Blog 价值的确定方法。我的 Blog 价值经过评估是 $250 (从目前来看，这似乎是中文 Blog 的最高价格?) 。Review Me官方给出的说法是这个价值是综合 Alexa 排名、Technorati 的连接数、RSS 订阅数量后综合得出的。对于 "RSS 订阅数量" 这个指标具体是采用哪里的数据没有给出，我猜可能是 Review Me 抓取 FeedBurner 的数据得出的。这样这篇 Review 据说可以得到 $125 的收入，如果用 Google 的评估体系来算，是有些偏高的。如果 Blog 投放 Google Adsense 广告，Blogger 在这个 Blog 的年收入差不多是 "每日独立访问者*1RMB"，也就是说，如果 Blog
一年下来，平均每天有 5000 个独立访问者，那么大约是 5000 RMB 的收入，前提是中文Blog(英文 Blog 价值要高许多)。

这个新的价值体系是从 Review Me 的角度建立的，如果有广告投放商准备买服务，那么也自然要认可遵从 Review Me 的价格标准，这个认可过程绝对是最大的问题。现在这个价格令很多 Blogger 欣喜，颇有些商鞅变法 "立木以信" 的味道。Review Me 建立了一套新的游戏规则，其目标是成为广大 Blogger 的代理人。

我比较好奇的是 Keso 的Blog 是怎样一个价格，搜索到的结果只有 $40，难道是 BSP 下的 Blogger 价值不高的缘故么? 还是Review Me 的评估体系对于中文 Blogger 不那么有参考性?

毫无疑问，Review Me 给付费评论点燃了一把火，这把火能否燃烧起来，就不得而知了。

这是欢乐的一周。除了发现 eMule 变成了 lowid。左思右想，翻遍了 Vista 的设置，检查了 AP 的每个角落，甚至还顺便给它升级了 firmware，可是，仍然不行。直到突然看见有哥们说，他忽略了当前 Vista 的 IP。对啊，赶紧检查一下，自己果然也是这个状况，重装后 DHCP 得到的 IP 不一定和之前相同，那 AP 里端口映射就没用了，我的神。固定 IP 后，一切完美。如果你装 Vista 之后，碰到类似情况，不妨先看看自己 IP。

Posted by Chikai Ohazama, Google Earth team

Every once in a while you come across a piece of technology that instantly grabs you and you can't stop saying "Oh my god!" When I bought my 12" Mac Powerbook, for instance, just opening the box was an experience. Each item was laid out perfectly -- everything I pulled out was well designed from the power connector with the glowing ring to the pulsating light next to the latch that made it look like it was breathing.

I recently went to the Tech Museum Awards, and one of the laureates, Mohammed Bah Abba, had created a refrigerator that requires no electricity -- basically uses two clay pots with wet sand in between them. This device helped keep food fresh longer in poor rural areas in Africa. And the group FogQuest uses these big meshes that collected potable water from fog (yes, the white stuff that hangs around in the air) for people in Central and South America. Simple, elegant technologies that have a huge impact to help with basic human needs.

Due in large part to the community of people who use Google Earth, it has also become one of those technologies. Having worked on it for almost 7 years, you would think the magic would have worn off for me by now, but amazingly enough, it hasn't. Every once in a while we add a new feature -- and it's like I was looking at it for the first time. Hours pass by without me noticing.

The new Geographic Web layer we released today is one of those features. We've taken the rich data of Wikipedia, Panoramio, and the Google Earth Community and made a browsable layer in Google Earth. Now you can fly anywhere in the world and see what people have written about it, photographed, or posted. I went hopping around from the southern tip of South America to the mosques in the Middle East to the Maldives Islands, immersed in a wealth of information, and I really felt like I was visiting each place through eyes of people who had been there. It was really engaging to compare, say, the Grand Canyon through the photos in Panoramio to the view from Google Earth, where I could follow the Colorado River through each.

To experience this for yourself, all you need to do is start Google Earth and explore the world. As of today you will see new icons -— the Wikipedia globe, the Panoramio star, or the information “i” of the Google Earth Community —- so just click on any of them to explore information about a place. You can also easily turn it off in the Layers panel on the lower left.

This is by far one of my most favorite layers we've ever done, and I really hope you enjoy it. To use our founding group's tagline, Happy travels!
