Thank you for the excellent review.

Regarding the email issue: our testing plugin can only record and execute against the application-under-test. If the app launches a different app, that is considered “out of process” and Test Studio cannot hook into it. This is a technical limitation largely due to how iOS sandboxes applications.

Regarding the manual sync: this way a conscious decision to allow uninterrupted offline test maintenance and to avoid unnecessary conflicts if multiple users are working on the same project.

I agree that its difficult to make it second nature but don’t agree that its a long way off. The mechanisms are in place to enable adhoc payments for content.

I enjoy a lot of content that is compelling and unique but there are plenty of content producers who build a regular readership and don’t ask for payment.

The content you want people to pay for MUST be compelling and it should be unique. They won’t be back a second time if they are disappointed by their first trip through your pay-gates.

I’m very keen on quality content, and improving it all the time. But you can’t do this easily without revenue. That’s why it’s so important for the media industry to work out how to pay its way in the future.

And we did talk about syndication, content sharing, archives, customer data as a revenue stream and other ideas. There was a discussion about the idea of taxing gadgets and making a pool to pay bloggers, papers and other media projects.

Perhaps the reason why we’re all talking about the money, but rarely doing anything, is because it just hasn’t been figured out yet.

There are no, or few, pay-walled blogs because they would be very likely to #fail – unless the content they contained was unique, compelling and in demand.
