Ian Rogers introduces “super-bummed” to Washington Post

You have to read to the end, but since it’s a journalism first, it’s worth it.

Carrie D (Yahoo! Music PR), also on the phone for the interview, was concerned I was a little too academic during our call, quoting Clayton Christensen, talking about how when the technology is not yet good enough, the integrated solution always wins.  Funny then to make the article with an injection of L.A. skateboard kid-speak.  Love it.

I actually thought the article was very well done.  Mike does a good job of distilling the “PURE CONSUMER CONFUSION” I reference in my Barcamp presentation from last year.

    It’s about time we got super-bummed in there. As someone working out of the UK office this week, I clearly understand that “super-bummed” refers to the likes of Beyonce. More SuperBums(tm) are needed in the music industry.

    I didn’t specify the hyphen, but I appreciate that their proof reading team sorted out the spelling for us.

    “Here’s the thinking. Complex new consumer technologies often start on closed systems but then become more open as the market evolves. In the early days of the computer, for example, some printers would only work easily with certain types of computers, but today, that sort of clunkiness is a distant memory.” – from Clayton Christensen for Dummies, I mean, Reporters, by Ian C. Rogers ;-)
