Today’s Digital Consultant Links for November 27th

These are my links for November 27th from 18:48 to 18:51:

How to Make $55,000 by Giving Away Your Work – Interesting economic article about New York animator Nina Paley, showing what incomes she made from other sources and revenues by distributing her films for free online. For a no-budget, emerging artist it shows that there is an economy in generating content to promote yourself and your art, but equally $55K is a pitiful return on investment on a film – not taking into account what the production costs are and time.
Survey uncovers the nation’s favourite websites – Interesting survey of 2,000 UK web users shows which websites they are using. In social media, interestingly Facebook is far more used than thought – with 74% actively using the site, against just 4% using MySpace and Twitter respectively.

These are my links for October 9th through October 12th:

BBC and key Bristol players form First City Partnership – Beeb partners with Bristol's key players including Council and RDA to work towards key issues collectively including increasing local TV production and tackling digital divide. Good move in times of financial consolidation.
Gaming and animation in the North West of England, a special report – Report by How Do, Experian and Business Link on the games and animation industry in the North West, mainly taking a journalistic slant by profiling companies through interview with a few quotes and stats from secondary research thrown in for good measure.
