Town of Bourton's miniature model has a
miniature model of the model (and so on)
Town of Bourton's miniature model has a
miniature model of the model (and so on)
12/23/2003 11:30 PMMark Bourne says: So
my wife Elizabeth and I are googling up possibilities for our long
trip to England next year. Checking out London sites and so on. An
acquaintance suggested staying for a few days in the Cotswolds, a
scenic Middle Earthy region west of London. That's how we found a
page about the town of Bourton.
You just gotta love this text, which blends Ye Olde Scepter'd Isle
with sci-fi gee-wizardry:
You will probably have noticed that when you take a branch
from certain trees (some conifers for example), the branch looks like
a miniature version of the tree, and when you break a piece off the
branch, that looks like a tree too. Mathematicians call this property
self-similarity.
Bourton has a wonderful example of self-similarity: it contains a
1/10 scale model of itself. Because the 1/10 scale model is a complete
model of the town, it must contain a model of itself, and it does, a
1/100th. scale model of Bourton, and because the 1/100th. scale model
is also a complete model of Bourton, it must also contain a 1/1000th.
scale model of the scale model of the scale model of Bourton.
And it does. It is only a matter of time before a team of
nano-technicians turn up in the town to etch a sub-micron scale model
of Bourton on a silicon wafer, complete with mill, waterwheel, and a
highly imaginative interpretation of the River Windrush as a stream of
electrons.

The Blogware business model
The Blogware business model
07/07/2004 02:41 AMI've been trying to get to know Roland Tanglao and Boris Mann and their company
Streamline. Here's
an interesting post I found on Roland's blog about Blogware's
business model..
Here's Roland......
A must read for prospective Blogware resellers and for
bloggers and people who don't understand why Blogware is not being
heavily promoted by Tucows. Summary: it's all about the resellers.
Resellers made Tucows #2 in domain registration and similarly
resellers will make Blogware a big player in the hosted blog
space.
From An
Open Letter to Blog Sceptic:
QUOTE
5/3/2/1. Ditch the
resellers/launch a hosted version/offer to specific verticals/promote
it...
Never gonna happen.
Here's why: Internet services providers represent the most
powerful distribution channel on the internet. No single company can
compete with the marketing muscle of 30,000 ISPs** who sit right in
front of end-users and assist them in making critical technology
choices and guide them as they dive into the internet - usually for
the first time. No other channel can put you in front of individuals
and the Fortune 500 simultaneously and no channel can better address
the fickle needs of their local markets in a more appropriate
fashion.
To get a better sense of this, take a look at our track record with
domain names. In 1997, we were (according to the most liberal
definitions) #85 in the domain name registration market. Today we are
solidly #2 and we've been there for a couple of years. How did we get
here? We dealt exclusively with internet services providers to the
exclusion of all other market opportunities and we nailed their
service requirements. By choosing and sticking to our distribution
model very early in the game (some would argue that it chose us) we
were able to focus on very specific attributes of our products and
processes and build some truly excellent structures around everything.
In other words, because we weren't trying to be all things to all
customers, we were able to do some very amazing things with some very
specific customer segments. And they responded in spades.
Our resellers kick serious a*s in the market place. This because
the Tucows way of doing things gives them the luxury of being able
to focus on very specific and important things. Think of every other
blogging company out there. They each have to a) be technical experts,
b) be sales experts and c) be marketing experts just to one unit to a
customer. Now take a look at the symbiotic nature of the relationship
between Tucows and its direct customers. Our resellers have to be
sales & marketing experts and develop strong customer service
skills and Tucows has to focus on maintaining world-class technical
services. Who would you bet on, the jack-of-all-trades or the team of
specialists?
The downside to this approach is that it lacks the glitz and glam
that retail oriented services employ. You will never see a full out PR
blitz from Tucows and Blogware will never be a household name. All
wasted money. Remember, we're not the marketing brains in this
relationship. We're the technical muscle.
Does that mean that our resellers are idly sitting by doing
nothing? Nope. Right now, they are working on developing the right
messages to direct at very specific markets - some are doing the
institutional angle, some are going after telecommunications firms,
others are targetting specific home-user verticals and others still
looking to make quick wins at the expense of those with existing
market share... And what I've seen so far looks great. Think of this
as true "end-to-end marketing" Marketing at the edges. Clue-train
compatible distribution. Teamwork. Focus. Whatever you call it, it
works.

Plaxo Does Have A Business Model... But
Not Really
Plaxo Does Have A Business Model... But
Not Really
05/24/2004 03:05 AMI'll admit that I have
not
been kind to Plaxo in the past. Ever since the service was first
announced, it sounded like a bubble era pointless dot com. There was
a lot of hype about the young founder (previously founded Napster!)
and the "service" itself didn't seem like much of a product. At most,
it was a feature of a larger product, and that larger product might
just turn out to be something like Microsoft Outlook. If the system
was remotely useful, you would think that Microsoft would just build
it in to Outlook. However, it didn't even seem that useful. If
anything, I expected it to be annoying - and has it ever been
annoying. I now block all Plaxo requests, but for a while, the amount
of Plaxo spam was ridiculous. Then, of course, there's the privacy
question. While Plaxo now goes to great lengths to swear up and down
that they keep your info private, they don't seem to understand the
real privacy complaint: when your friends give
your address to
some 3rd party service,
are
they violating your privacy? It's a question that's not entirely
clear. In the meantime, this was all made worse by the fact that
Plaxo still didn't have anything remotely resembling a business model
(shades of the bubble era again...). Well, now they claim they've
solved that issue, and have announced that their business model is a
$20/year paid version for which
you'll get such great features as... well, they actually don't seem to
know yet. You will get better
customer support though. It
always worries me when companies decide that better customer support
is a premium "feature," because they've just set up the incentives to
mean that they give the absolute worst customer support to anyone not
in that tier. This doesn't seem particularly compelling. They're
basically saying their new business model is that they'll annoy me
less if I pay? No thanks...

Wayport's CEO Says New Model on the
Horizon
Wayport's CEO Says New Model on the
Horizon
04/14/2004 07:51 PMWayport's CEO Dave Vucina said that the company will unveil a new
business model for roaming partners in the near future that will be
"the voice of reason": In an interview today with hotspot and managed
services provider Wayport, CEO Dave Vucina explained that the
McDonald's deal announced this week to unwire all 13,000 of the
chain's U.S. locations will rewrite the basis of roaming with existing
and new partners. While Vucina was short on specifics about the
upcoming change in roaming terms, he did say that it would be unique
and encourage more companies to roam with Wayport. "The way we have
put our program together it will be good for all parties with some
balance," he said. "One of the things you see when we release our
model, is that you'll see some new direction and some new ways to
package the service." Vucina said that by the end of the year, between
the McDonald's stores and The UPS Store outlets that they are building
as a managed services provider for telecommunications giant SBC,
Wayport would install from 8,000 to 9,000 new locations. (The UPS
Store has over 3,000 locations today, and expects to have over 5,000
by the time all the stores have Wi-Fi service installed.) The
McDonald's partnership came about through trials among Wayport, Cometa
Networks, and Toshiba over the last year. Vucina said that nearly 450
locations in large and small cities alike were tried, from Manhattan
to Boise, Idaho. He said, "Part of the exercise of the pilot was to
gather data on what people were thinking about this connectivity
experience." They were able to garner statistics on average session,
food purchases made, what percentage came to McDonald's specifically
for the Wi-Fi service, and other factors. Food sales were more
important than earlier reports may indicate. "At the end of the day
for McDonald's, it's about selling hamburgers," Vucina said.
McDonald's sees 24 million customers per day through one of their
13,000 U.S. locations, or over 1,800 people on average per store,
Vucina said. "That's about as much traffic as you'll get anywhere."
Statistics provided last year by a McDonald's executive at the Wi-Fi
Planet conference showed that about 75 percent of customers used the
drive-through or ordered take-away food from the counter, which would
leave an average of over 450 customers eating in-store each day.
Still, McDonald's stores have peak times during meals....

Plaxo sketches out business plan [CNET News.com - The Net]
OK - so now we know.
Whenever I've received an invitation to join Plaxo or to update my
profile info, I've used as an excuse - the nebulous answers that Plaxo
has given in the past as to their business model.
Well I guess I'll have to find a different excuse now.
I actually like the business model - charge for more advanced
features - but the only feature they mentioned in this article was
"better customer support". That actually sounds like a charge
for support" business model. HHmmm maybe they should talk to
Dave Sifry about that.
But then again - they only want $20 a year. Geesh. It
costs more to look at naked pictures. I guess they think lots of
people will sign-up - but if it's like any other service, they'll
only convert 5%.
So what's 5% of 2M? 100k users. Times $20 a year.
That $2M a year.
Geesh hasn't Plaxo raised like over $20M now - or something like
that?
What's wrong with the math here?
