Another Nail in the Coffin

MySiouxFalls.com is up and running on the Internet. There is another news source today for news about Sioux Falls and South Dakota. It has an attractive format and is very appealing. I was greeted with an engaging presentation of the news starting off the tonight’s pending execution, when I drilled down into other portals on the site (being as non technical as I am) this seems to be a beta version as there were many features that remain with glitches. The very brief video ads do work however.

The presentation will get far better and could become particularly interesting depending on MySF.com’s niche news reporting and interactivity with its users.

This Internet presentation is inevitable. The ultimate winner of who wins the advertising dollars is which media (I believe on multiple platforms) are the best news hunter and gatherer.

I wish MySiouxFalls.com good luck. Competition makes things better.

From the brief information available, MySiouxFalls.com is owned by Sioux Empire News LLC. Joe Prostrollo of Sioux Falls is apparently associated with Sioux Empire News. Local bloggers and the Daily Planet recently reported that Mr. Prostrollo is also listed as “registrant” of several Mike Rounds for Senate Internet domains. What the connection between the news service and the political activity remains to be seen and without more informaiton it is way too early to jump to any conclusions.

In any event, the times are indeed a changing and only the fleetest of foot will survive.

Thinkaboutit! – Video presentations don’t work in print media. Young people don’t read newspapers.

If the fine folks at the paper that comes out in the morning would have checked out all their facts, they would have found out that the only reason I parked the domain names with Rounds in it was for a "scoop." Plain and simple! I was hedging my bet that if I had the names, someone from the Rounds camp would contact me regarding them. I would have turned them over at no charge and thus have the scoop regarding a possible campaign. There is no sinister plot here to uncover. And for the record, no one from the Rounds camp has contacted me and I'll let them expire in February after owning them for 1 year.
