Discussions from Bizzone

Below are a few comments about online advertising and journalism from NZ Internet entrepreneurs Alistair Thompson, Scoop.co.nz, and Gary Jensen from NZS.com while at Bizzone on Friday.

I really enjoyed talking to Alistair and hearing his views on online advertising, but more so his views on journalism and the state of NZ's news publishers. Scoop.co.nz is New Zealand's leading independent media website.

In addition I also spoke to Luigi Cappel from AA Traffic who talked about informing customers about navigation and real time traffic updates. Luigi also talks about using Twitter and Facebook to promote their services.
