“Content is…” - oh shut up!

“Content is King” – this statement seems to be the standard wisdom for many companies, agencies, and freelancers. which means exactly…? Irrelevant. What is more important is that you can’t just leave it at “content is King”. Many authors feel they need to elaborate: “Content is King, but Distribution is Queen”. This is still ok. But whoever believes that ‘great’ metaphors are the end of the story is going to be bitterly disappointed.

Yay for Content

Content, content, content – this is the only way to success for a website, product, or brand. Bill Gates already new this in 1996 when he first said “content is King”. The world is becoming more complex, as Gate’s saying. I made the effort and looked around to see how my fellow bloggers, and other journalists, are reinterpreting the saying “content is king”.

Content is King, but Distribution is Queen.
Content is King, but Context is Queen.

But this doesn’t seem to go far enough for God-fearing people.

Content is King, the screen is Queen and Context is God.

But what is with the rest of the court?

If Content Is King, Who Is the Heir?

…not to forget the rest of the kingdom.
