About first mover in tech, agreed also, though for media it is a strange thing. If you compare Pixar and Dreamworks, they are about on par technologically, but what really distinguishes the first, is that it focusses on core-values like story-telling, i.e. is skill-intensive. Similar, if you compare top-tier blogs with the masses, they are actually running on pretty similar software, but the difference is content. Same with Youtube vs. other competitors. Technological innovation is cool, though only if it is based on sound business models with hard-to-replicate components.

I agree with you, just like traditional organization, media needs to invest in its people as well as technology to be relevant. First mover in technology has a huge advantage in creating ‘network’ effect. My 2 cents: Mass media will be an oxymoron. Mass 'customized' media is where the future is!
