Research & Consulting on the media, tech & creative industries in these digital times. Almost never here, so 'hit me up' (eye roll) on Instagram for the latest.

@u_m_a_m_i @MLInstitute @Pagmenzies That figure is for the YT ecosystem in Canada, including indirect and induced employment in adjacent industries e.g. the music industry and enabling technologies. See the methodology section of the report. Tks.

@creepeffect I think you're referring to Loudermilk on Amazon?

[Leora Kornfeld @LK617]

@alexcbishop @AirCanada They are claiming it was a weather issue. Sure. Then why were all the other flights taking off? They are trying to avoid compensation. Plus they abandoned us at the airport. I too had to find accommodations on my own.

[Leora Kornfeld @LK617]

@alexcbishop I've been on hold with @AirCanada for hours today regarding the Feb 19 MEX - YYZ flight mess, after an email exchange saying earlier "there will be no further communication" on the issue

[Leora Kornfeld @LK617]

@alexcbishop @AirCanada @CP24 @CBC @CTVNews @globalnewsto The 'explanation' after 24+ hours at MEX airport plus two days of 2 plus hours on the tarmac, twice was "weather'. As you know there were flights taking off all around us.

[Leora Kornfeld @LK617]

@alexcbishop @AirCanada I did. They refused the claim. See your DMs. Next stop - small claims court I guess.

A new piece I co-authored for Harvard Business School Working Knowledge on how TikTok became the latest winner in the attention olympics and where it might go from here.

@Tim_Org In the years since our meetings, the internet went "from ROFLcon to Q Anon" -- while driving unprecedented amounts of economic activity. So we wrote a chapter in a textbook about it. Enjoy! https://t.co/ULV5ENP6fn

[John Deighton @HBSmktg]

How internet culture went from dogs on skateboards to malicious memes -- and at the same time has been one of the most powerful economic engines in history. Tks @HarvardBizGov for posting. https://t.co/NVmSohySIy

Thanks @Jad_AE for inviting me along this pretty cosmic journey of thinking about digital identity construction and expression. Glad I could work #AliceInWonderland in too.

Distributed across media that’s shaped us. We are a constellation of the things and experiences that define us. More 🧠 in this piece about how we construct our identities online. With credit and love to @LK617 for co-authoring this! 4/4

New blog post: When you find a paper you wrote about Jean-Luc Godard in the 1980s and come face to face with your former self. And some clunky prose. https://t.co/lkaqYh5Ban

[Leora Kornfeld @LK617]

So great to see @koodos launching!

This is the NYC-based startup I've been working with for the past 2 yrs that's building both a consumer-facing app & a set of protocols that enable the creation of crowd-sourced sentiment around any piece of digital media. Congrats team k!

[koodos labs💥 @koodos]

Today, koodos is the first app to write to and read from Mediagraph to generate, store and retrieve media metadata.

New blog post: How a #Radiohead interview I did in 1996 turned into a #Britpop boomerang that hit me in 2022. https://t.co/PikjSiwa2V @FarOutMag

@betaworks I RSVP'd to tonight's event w/ Cherie Hu but don't seem to have the live stream link.

The Internet is everything from your Peloton workouts to your Tinder dates to your Etsy purchases, to all the infrastructure you never touch. This project mapped and measured it. Again. https://t.co/q0DFLkFhgc

[Leora Kornfeld @LK617]

Truly cool to be among the 'idea contributors' to this experiment. The article, minted as an NFT, reimagines a creator economy outside of ad supported systems. Tks to @Jad_AE and @sariazout for engineering the whole thing!

[Andrew Spence @AndySpence]

the original vision of the internet has been refreshed:

▶️changes to the definition of talent

▶️from ad-funded models towards creator empowerment

▶️technology that unlocks infinite remixability (like this post)
