Just about anyone can be a publisher, as evidenced by the video embedded          on this page. Last week, the <strong>Wall Street Journal<\/strong> ran          a week long special regarding how ordinary people are publishing content          and some are even monetizing their efforts. In fact, you will note that          the end of this <strong>video has been tagged<\/strong> with a sponsor\u2019s          advertisement. <\/p>\n<p>And this revolution is not being ignored by the established          media companies. To comment on this relatively new change of heart by          the industry behemoths, we talk to <strong>Mary Coller Alber<\/strong>t,          President of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.delight.com\/\">Delight.com<\/a><\/strong>.          <\/p>\n<p>Mary has a unique and very entrepreneurial background,          including being co-founder of <strong>Beatnik<\/strong> with <strong>Thomas          &#8220;she blinded me with science&#8221; Dolby<\/strong>. She went on to          Sony&#8217;s Soap City; a pioneering service that provided online, on-demand          access to Soap Operas. As General Manager of that effort, she successfully          overcame numerous challenges, such as dealing with <strong>online music          rights<\/strong>, creating<strong> new business models<\/strong> and introducing          a totally <strong>new service<\/strong> to consumers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topics                Discussed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Click on a <strong>Link<\/strong> below to jump                directly to a particular topic.
