Scott Karp has a terrific post about the future of content businesses and I think it’s spot on.

I would assume just the opposite — that content distribution businesses, or more accurately in digital network terms, content platform and content aggregation businesses (think Google, YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Digg) are the only real media businesses left.

Couldn’t agree more. Content driven businesses will exist as niche plays, but far better to be a platform.
