Here’s a piece I wrote for BusinessWeek’s social report on publicness. Snippet:
In the company of nudists, no one is naked. We are entering an age of publicness when more and more we will live, do business, and govern in the open. Some see danger there. I see opportunity. . . .
An accompanying video:
The Süddeutsche Zeitung’s Sunday magazine this week devotes its entire issue to the future of newspapers and journalism. I have a lengthy interview in it – in Germany, I’m afraid.
If you want to hear how bad my German is, listen to the start of this video, my keynote at Next09 in Hamburg this week. (Sadly, no one told me that the camera was set to record stage left and I pace a lot.)
This interview in Spiegel Online is in German and in English.
And a nice illustration accompanies this interview in the Hamburger Abendblatt.
Finally, I was interviewed by Robin Wauters for TechCrunch at Next09 and I sucked up to Michael Arrington.
: LATER: A Zeit Online interview, subtitled in German.
Jeff, where you say in the interview “there’s no difference between me being on this show and being on twitter”…
I think that twitter is a great way to disperse information that has been in the press. For example, you being in biz week gives you a voice as a credible source. You spread that thru social media and now your much better off than someone who just says they are an expert.
Anyone of course can establish themselves as an expert these days which is great…
>>>There is simply no scarcity of news online, so it is hard to return to old monopolies from the print era.
Please tell us exactly what monopolies you’re talking about. The DOJ is only looking into one company in the news business: Google. And you’re advising other companies to be more like it!
…but how opend and “naked” are we really on the internet…
Yes. I’m sick of you.
The “publicness” link is invalid (http:///).
The correct link appears to be:

You forgot to put in the last two links.
Yes, the final Arrington mention is unlinked.
Fixed. thanks.
Apparently, linking isn’t what Jeff does best.
The Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin is (and has always been) a Friday supplement, it’s not a Sunday supplement. There’s never been a Sunday issue of the SZ.
So you get a simple fact wrong in a blog entry and you simply can’t be bothered to correct it?
