Niche out!

Niche out! 03/22/2005 03:24 PM
Doc's right.  People that buy or sell on the long tail shouldn't be considered consumers.  To prove a point, the long tail members I describe aren't passive, rather, they are in the driver's seat of the new distribution.  States and their passive consumers (of political goods) are the ones at risk.

Voice Over Wi-Fi a Niche App

Voice Over Wi-Fi a Niche App 11/11/2003 03:11 PM
A There is a lot of talk and some confusion around the value of voice over Wi-Fi: It will take some time for the market to figure out how extensively it should be used. I think voice over Wi-Fi can be really useful to certain workers, but the current products have so many shortcomings that a company must have enough of those workers and be able to benefit enough to suffer through the headaches. Voice over Wi-Fi will become a routine service only if the products improve significantly....

Popular Science magazine gives us the following five things You Didn’t Know You Could Do with RSS:

1. “Package Deliveries
2. Library Books
   “ Avoid late fees and fruitless trips to the library with ELF (libraryelf.com), which generates a feed to inform you when books you've requested are available at your local branch (including a link to operating hours) and when your checked-out books are almost due.”
3. Local Weather
4. TV Listings
5. Yourself” [via del.icio.us/merlinmann/ 43folders]

I love the ELF and even subscribe to the service myself, but how does it make your privacy-loving, patron-protecting, librarian self feel that a company in Canada is providing this service that gets highlighted in PopSci instead of you?

Niche Publishing - Engadget

Niche Publishing - Engadget 03/06/2004 01:59 AM

Niche publishing really isn't just for Nick Denton anymore... Peter Rojas, the original blogger behind Gizmodo has broken out of that gig to start Engadget... a competitor to Gizmodo.

Denton still has a leg up (first mover advantage we used to call it) on individuals launching one or two focused sites on their own, as he can aggregate his entire Gawker media property audiences if he wants to for an advertiser, or he can sell the advertising piecemeal... but, folks like Rojas can probably make enough money off their sites short-term to support themselves, and long term to build a living that they enjoy.

Best of luck Peter...

TrackCap.com trackpoint.com sells nothing but the nibs, nubbins, caps or whatever you call them for the IBM ThinkPad Trackpoint - you know, the little sticky-uppy thing between the G and H on Thinkpads. $10 for 2, so maybe they're doing ok, especially since you can get 6 for $10 from IBM. (Shipping is free at both places.) Trackpoint.com also sell screws for the IBM Ultrabay at a buck each, so apparently they're branching out. Radical....

EBay Spawns Niche Market

EBay Spawns Niche Market 03/19/2005 03:09 AM
Who says that innovation off the Web is dead? It turns out that eBay has given birth to a neat little niche market that allows people to drop off their stuff to a brick and mortar environment. OK, the idea is sound for now. But is it anywhere near as recession proof as eBay itself?…

Novell engineer and manager Allison Singh recently predicted in an Africa-based tectonic magazine article that Windows will become a niche operating system, replaced by Linux as the new standard. A gestalt of recent trends, events, and stories should tell you that this prediction is right on the money. A gestalt, by the way, is a perception or conclusion that goes beyond the sum of its parts. Here are three of the many parts that comprise the gestalt.

Social reading -- A niche to be filled?

Social reading -- A niche to be filled? 09/11/2004 08:54 AM
There's a niche in the blogging/media ecosystem I hope someone fills. Aggregators are wonderful, but I find using them makes me as lonely as a night watchman making his rounds. So, between the solipsism of aggregators and the impersonalism of mainstream newspapers, I'd like a site where my friends and I can read stuff together. We suggest blogs and sites, and the aggregator surfaces the hot posts based on clever metrics and heuristics (mumble mumble handwaving). And we get to comment and annotate for one another. That last point is important because I find that I often don't leave comments...

Rescuing XSLT from Niche Status

Rescuing XSLT from Niche Status 10/30/2002 12:50 AM
XSLT is one of the most exciting technologies to come out of the XML family. Unfortunately, its incredible power and associated complexity can be overwhelming to new users preventing many from experimenting with it or causing them to quickly give up in disgust. In fact, unless the method of teaching and the common style of use for XSLT is radically changed to make it more accessible, XSLT will be relegated to niche status like SGML and other powerful technologies. -- David Jacobs
