Ohdio’s New Approach Emphasizes on Radio-Like Experience

A few days ago Ohdio was relaunched with a brand new design and an entirely new approach to enjoying the service. I have been a fan of Ohdio from the beginning and still believe it has a good chance of becoming successful even though the service hadn’t really found its strength until recently. This new approach reinvigorates not just general interest in the service but also its possibility of success. Not only that, it helps introduce Indonesians to a modern way to enjoy music.

[Manic Monday] Lisensi Musik Untuk Layanan Digital

Menjalankan bisnis yang melisensikan sesuatu untuk layanan-layanan digital tidaklah mudah. Pertama, karena dasar hukum bisnis lisensi tergantung pada perlindungan hak kekayaan intelektual, yang nyatanya sangat tergantung pada keseriusan pemerintah setempat dalam pelaksanaannya; terlebih lagi adanya perbedaan regulasi di setiap negara, meski berbagai upaya untuk menstandarkannya melalu badan-badan seperti WIPO sudah dilakukan. Bisnis lisensi juga intinya adalah bisnis yang berdasarkan izin, yang bergantung pada kontrol dan kepercayaan – dua hal yang sulit ditegakkan di ranah internet.

[Manic Monday] Licensing Music For Digital Services

[Manic Monday] The Digital World Has Its Roots In The Physical World

In our increasingly digital world, we still cannot separate ourselves from physical objects. We [still] have physical bodies, not in energy or electronic form, and still interact with physical things. The computer/tablet/handphone that you’re holding? That’s your window into the digital world, although this ‘window’ still differs from person to person, and that’s if they have access. Perhaps you haven’t bought a CD for years and choose to look for songs on the Internet (regardless of legality)? You’d still need a set of speakers or headphones to listen to them.

[DS Notes] Who Needs Hashtags Anymore?

Thanks to Twitter, the pound sign or the hash has been reborn as a topic marker and renamed the hashtag, its primary purpose is now to assist people on Twitter and other social networks seeking others talking about the same topic, but as with everything, it often gets abused, misused, and hijacked. Charlie Warzel at BuzzFeed argues that the hashtag may have outlived its usefulness especially since Twitter itself has changed how search works and now shows non-tagged posts containing the same words.
