New Media: GigaOm.com

GigaOm.com which deliver technology news, analysis and opinions on topics ranging from broadband and online games to Web 2.0 was founded by Om Malik in 2006. Before launching his own publishing venture, Om was a senior writer for Business 2.0 magazine covering telecom and broadband stories. Currently they serve a monthly global audience of 1.75 million consumers and professionals interested in the latest news in the world of high-tech.

According to a special write up by Sin Chew Daily, GigaOm.com having a daily hits of 50,000 which generate monthly advertisement income of USD50,000. Compare with The Wall Street Journal which having 2 mil of subscriptions and out of 80,000 is log in daily for news, GigaOm.com is a great example for success New Media provider as it is open and free.

Beside GigaOm.com, here are some highlights by Zhan Hongzhi [詹宏志]:

- with the exist of Blog, everyone is a media; when information is floated, review and guide become effective; who can eliminate quantities will create values

- with the exist of search engine like Google, everyone will refer to Wikipedia, great encyclopedia was ignored as you have to pay for it; editor new role is to ensure this information are correct, accurate and relevant.

- has a vision in you, no one will come and tell you what happens next
