	Ken Auletta :: Articles - Barry Diller's Search for the Future
		Diller punched keys in the middle of meetings, while others were left to stare at the top of his bald head or to listen as he related the many extraordinary feats his machine could perform.
		Diller didn't have to be told that Malone was easily one of the most powerful figures in television, and not just because his company controlled one of every five cable connections in the United States (about ten million in all), or because it had a bigger cash flow than ABC, CBS, and NBC combined.
		Diller was asked in an interview whether by creating narrowcasting channels and catering to individual cravings through video on demand he is further weakening the bonds of community and shared experience that, whatever the many vices of broadcasting, were, at least, a virtue.

	Diller, Barry
		Barry Diller is an innovative television executive best known for organizing a fourth network at FOX Broadcasting to challenge the domination of American prime time television by ABC, CBS, and NBC.
		Diller had succeeded against all odds by developing low cost "reality" programming such as Cops and America's Most Wanted and alternative fare such as In Living Color, Married...with Children, and The Simpsons, aimed at the youth audience, ages 18-34.
		In a move that surprised the industry, Diller quit Twentieth Century-Fox in 1992 and purchased a $25 million stake in QVC teleshopping network.

	Continuing Education: Barry Diller Redefines 'Convergence'
		Diller's latest move is to combine Lycos, a portal to the World Wide Web, with the electronic shopping holdings of his current company, USA Networks.
		Diller argues that the complexity of his new deal reflects a world in which media companies and retailers are increasingly intertwined.
		But Diller's history of testing the outer boundaries of new-media models suggests that he will not be content to concentrate solely on conventional film, cable and broadcasting.

	The Last Action Mogul
		Barry Diller's lone-gunslinger style and his frenetic deal-making pace make him a role model for other media tycoons.
		Barry as much as anyone: He is a founder of the I-get-it-you-don't school of management.
		Diller is running an information and entertainment company that is the product of some of the corporate world's most intricate financial engineering (no doubt part of the reason the Lycos deal was initially approved by the Lycos board -- including Wetherell -- was no one understood it).

	What's the Next Barry Diller Thriller? -- Wally Bock's Monday Memo, Author, Business Futurist, Keynote Speaker
		Barry Diller was born in 1942 in San Francisco and raised in Beverly Hills with movie stars as neighbors.
		Because he started out in movies and television, Diller is still referred to as a "media mogul." But all of that history and success in entertainment may blind us to what he really is. If we understand that, then we can understand USA Interactive and Diller's strategy.
		The Barry Diller Story : The Life and Times of America's Greatest Entertainment Mogul by George Mair is what's called a "celebrity biography." So don't expect much in the way of hard-hitting journalism or penetrating business insight.

	» Interactive media mogul Barry Diller at Web 2.0 \| Between the Lines \| ZDNet.com
		InterActiveCorp CEO Barry Diller fielded questions [video clip here] from Web 2.0 conference host John Battelle and the audience about how his recent purchase of ask.com (Ask Jeeves), with Google, Yahoo and MSN breathing down his neck, and how the entertainment industry is morphing.
		Diller said the key to growing Ask is to differentiate the search service and leverage the IAC network.
		J.D. Lasica of OurMedia.org, which is a home for the long tail of media content, challenged Diller’s view on entertainent, but Diller maintained that the talent pool for mass engines of communication and entertaiment is limited, and the mass of user generated content isn’t going to supplant it.

	Fool.com: Legend Behind Failed Lycos Bid (Special) May 20, 1999
		Diller's offer -- at least 30% of the new $18 billion company -- should have looked pretty sweet given that Lycos had trailing 12-month revenues of just $89.5 million and operating losses equal to about half of those revenues.
		In those days, Disney's (NYSE: DIS) mega-successful CEO Michael Eisner was one of Diller's top lieutenants, a group known as the "Killer Dillers." Diller remained at Paramount until moving on to Twentieth Century Fox in 1984.
		So Diller was effectively pushed out of his job at precisely the moment it seemed he would attain what he most wanted.

	Scott Rosenberg's Links & Comment
		Diller does not suffer fools -- or interviewers -- gladly, and he reserves a special sardonic disdain for tech-industry hype.
		Today, Diller is still wearing his skeptic's hat; at Web 2.0 he turned it on those among the new wave of Web visionaries who have dared to dream that our new publishing and searching technologies might help bring a wider conversation into being beyond control of the broadcast world's gatekeepers.
		Based on what he said here, I think Barry Diller believes he is someone who understands the Internet because he knows so well how to make money through it.

	CinemaTech: Barry Diller at Web 2.0
		Diller said that the Net and traditional media and news and entertainment are on a certain collision course.
		Diller’s a big believer in finding content through the search box (which is why he acquired Ask Jeeves for $1.85 billion in March)… but he also feels human editors will endure – smart people who will guide you to the good stuff.
		Diller is kind of a believer in user-generated content – he mentioned the profiles on Match.com, which users submit in hopes of finding a mate – but not really in Average Joes producing interesting video content.

		I wrote a piece about Barry's use of his PowerBook, and his PowerBook became a kind of parable for the future, and I have never gotten as many responses to any piece I've ever done as I got for that piece.
		Barry, you made a bet in 1992 on cable: that cable would be, in fact, the future.

	TCS Daily - Barry Diller's Search for Meaning...
		Diller is too smart a dealmaker to fall for the synergy argument or leap head-first into the online search market just because search happens to be the flavor of the month.
		Diller's other Internet properties like Match.com and Expedia.com are all first or second within their respective verticals.
		Most likely, given Barry Diller's past life in the worlds of media and Hollywood, search means something vastly different than what it means for a pure technologist at a company like Google.

		But the name - the fifth since 1995 for Diller's constantly changing business - recently was named one of the Five Dumbest Things on Wall Street This Week by TheStreet.com columnist George Mannes.
