More Evidence That The Bubble Is Coming
Back 02/17/2004 02:30 PM
Want more evidence that some sort of internet bubble is on the way back? During the boom years, you couldn't open a business/techie magazine without reading an article about some teenager running a company that was valued at millions of dollars for no clear reason. Now, here's a new article talking about the 19-year-old CEO of a UK ISP. Not to knock the guy, who seems to be very smart and is probably doing a great job, but the article seems to focus on the fact that he topped a list from the Royal Bank of Scotland about who would be rich... in 2020.

We really need to move to Ethanol-powered automobiles.  And I mean soon.  Not because of energy efficiency, or to reduce farm subsidies.  People in America are getting really fat.  We need a more profitable product for corn than High Fructose...

VCs Finally Coming Back

VCs Finally Coming Back 09/17/2004 08:13 PM
It looks like VCs are finally getting more comfortable investing again. While it's not entirely clear if the IPO market really is back, it certainly looks like VCs feel pretty good about the potential to cash out sometime in the near future, by IPO or by acquisition. Also, contrary to the study earlier this week, the article claims that early stage companies are getting a lot more cash. This is a good thing. While plenty of bad investments get made (and companies often start to confuse VC investment with revenue), having more capital flowing generally leads to more innovation.

Recently-departed website Blogshares may return:

The Bad News: The BlogShares database was corrupted and it's taking a few days to get things back together.

The Good News: A solid agreement has been reached between BlogShares founder Seyed Razavi and technologist Jay Campbell -- the site is coming back! Premium memberships will be extended one month to make up for this downtime. If you had 8 months left, now you have 9. The reconstituted BlogShares team is doing cartwheels over the possibilities that 2004 brings. Check back for more notices, and soon a working site.

Tech IPOs Slowly Coming Back

Tech IPOs Slowly Coming Back 11/11/2003 11:37 AM
We've been joking recently about all the parallels between what's happening today and what happened early on in the bubble years, to point out that we're heading right back into where things left off. Of course, there are some major differences. While tech companies are (slowly, slowly) starting to go public again, this time it looks like their financials are a lot more sound. We're not seeing the same sort of wildly speculative IPOs where companies who are nowhere near making a profit are cashing in for millions in IPO money (which often seems to make them forget that a company actually needs to make money from customers, and not just from Wall Street). Of course, many people would add a big "yet" to that statement. Right now, most of the companies going public are profitable (or close to it), but if things heat up again, it wouldn't be surprising to see VCs push out a few more wildly speculative IPOs.

coming back - strong

I totally agree with Om - Yahoo is
coming back - strong 03/28/2005 08:45 AM

OK - from my own experiences and POV I can say this:

- Media RSS is the leadership we need in media, subscribing and the web. That's what podcasting needs. We're gonna support it in ourmedia.org and we hope others will too.

- Russell Beattie has been helping out in an organization now called Mobile Monday. He brings clear leadership in mobile to Yahoo - just by his sheer presence.

- Jeremy Zawodny is one of those bloggers who groks it all, has a great day job and smirks his way all the way to the A-list. The best part is that he's got a viewpoint that Yahoo is starting to listen to.

- Then came a Terry Semel quote: "sure we'll make a lot of money off of Hollywood, but we'll make more money off of end-users content."

So I'm digging more on Yahoo every day. I've been using MyYahoo since the 2nd month it was available. We'll always make sure that Yahoo data will flow through OUR Digital Lifdestyle Aggregators (DLAs) - as long as they allow the data to flow. It would be nice to have APIs to ALL the stuff - BTW dudes......

And just the notion of Stewart, Caterina and Ben roaming the hallways of Yahoo brings a smile to my lips like an acid trip multi-player rave insider's game meets astro-boy right next door to Lockheed kind of scene.

So right on t o Om - once again - he's rocking the house and telling it like it is......

Satellites Coming Back For Another Shot
At Internet Access?

Satellites Coming Back For Another Shot
At Internet Access? 01/06/2005 06:52 AM
It looks like some people are starting to think that satellite broadband can be a viable player in the wireless broadband arena. A company that currently makes satellite receivers for trains and cars mainly focused on beaming TV to mobile vehicles, is looking to offer satellite based internet access to cars. They promise speeds of "up to 2 Mbps with upload speeds of 128 Kbps." Of course, this is just an empty promise right now. It should set off alarm bells whenever a wireless company uses the phrase "up to" in the description of their speeds. That means reality will be much, much slower. The "up to" means under absolutely perfect conditions that simply don't exist outside of the laboratory with more than one user. And, while they talk about throughput there's absolutely no mention of latency -- which has always been the big stumbling block for satellite internet services. High latency, even on a faster connection will make the overall experience seem much slower. Of course, there could be some applications for which this is useful (specifically, ones where latency isn't as big of an issue), but it has a long way to go before it's actually competitive with other mobile broadband solutions.

Distance Doctoring, Distance Nursing And
Distance Learning... All Coming Back

Distance Doctoring, Distance Nursing And
Distance Learning... All Coming Back 05/12/2004 03:58 AM
The internet makes it easier to communicate with people over large distances, and for years we've been hearing about the power of "distance" everything. More recently, some of that talk had died down after the early promises of distance learning/doctoring/whatever failed to live up to its early hype. However, it appears that the distance concept is coming back into fashion. One after the other, we just came across three such stories. First, is the news of a hospital in Michigan that is using a robot with a video screen for a head to let remote doctors talk to and examine patients. The doctor's can control the robot from another location (such as home) in order to look over a patient without being there in person. Of course, the idea isn't to replace the need for the doctor to be present, but to make it easier in situations when the doctor is away and is needed quickly (such as to look over something in the middle of the night when they're home). Meanwhile, over in the Netherlands, it's not the doctors who get to stay home, but the patients, who can now use a webc am system to communicate with nurses. The idea is to help out the elderly who are confined to their homes but can't afford to have a healthcare worker visiting them on a regular basis. Meanwhile, outside of the healthcare field it appears that even e-learning is making a comeback, as companies are using it more strategically, to help keep employees up-to-date and trained - but not relying on it as a full replacement for training programs. No matter what, it looks like another bunch of concepts discredited during the boom and bust years are now making a comeback.

UBL bubble

UBL bubble 01/04/2005 01:39 PM
Tim Bray points to a presentation by Brian Nielsen and Mikkel Hippe Brun on how Denmark is adopting the OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL). Tim writes: Check out slides 4 & 5: they estimate the annual savings achievable from invoicing in UBL at somewhere between €100M and €160M. I may be out of step with the crowd but it seems painfully obvious to me that UBL is going to be huge and I don’t understand why more technology vendors (including my employer) aren’t refocusing their e-business strategy around it....

The New Stock Bubble

The New Stock Bubble 04/13/2004 09:56 AM

Here we go again: Stocks in unknown and untested tech and biotech companies -- and supposed nanotech (my favorite new bubble category) --are soaring. Price to earnings? Surely you're kidding about the earnings part. The market is frothy again. Even solid companies are selling way above historical P/E ratios. Be wary. You think Wall Street has totally cleaned up its act? Get real. These guys are incorrigible. If you're going to jump in again, you should at least be double-sure that your broker's corporate parent isn't getting millions in fees from companies it's pushing at retail. Of course, they're probably working on some new way to con you. Meanwhile, I've had lots of e-mails recently touting micro-capitalized companies founded in in places like Nevada, headquartered in places like the Cayman Islands and claiming big plans to make a huge score in, say, China. Oh, sure, those have to be solid enterprises. I'm sympathetic to most scam victims. But anyone who buys a stock based on an unsolicited e-mail recommendation, or who even looks at such a thing with any intention other than derisive laughter, is an idiot who should not complain after losing his money. Period.

"Leaks in the Wi-Fi Bubble"

"Leaks in the Wi-Fi Bubble" 11/17/2003 03:01 PM
The San Jose Business Journal looks at cut backs at Trapeze and Vivato, referring to the setbacks as "leaks in the Wi-Fi bubble": The story also looks at Cometa's scaled down ambitions and is the fist place I've seen a Cometa spokesperson note that the company's original plans were overly optimistic. Cometa has gotten some flack for delivering on a slower pace but not admitting that its plans had changed. The story also notes that Vivato has 40 customers, which is more than I thought. I think the piece unfairly picks on Trapeze for requiring customers to use its proprietary APs--all the WLAN switch vendors require customers to use their APs. Otherwise they couldn't offer all their whiz-bang features. But ultimately those whiz-bang features may not be worth it for customers who don't want to replace existing APs or who don't like to feel forced to buy only a certain AP. I keep reading about increasing sales at companies like Bluesocket and Reefedge which both offer beefed-up security solutions to customers regardless of the APs they use....

Is There An Online Ad Bubble?

Is There An Online Ad Bubble? 04/15/2005 04:49 AM
Back in the mid-90s, during the original internet bubble, just about every consumer business plan (that wasn't about e-commerce) was about online advertising. Everyone was focused on getting eyeballs and making their sites "sticky" for advertisers. However, the bottom fell out of that market when the bubble popped -- and people realized that online ads weren't that effective. So, now that everyone's focused on online ads, some are beginning to wonder if th is is a bubble that will pop as well. There certainly are a few differences this time around. First off, more (and bigger) advertisers are willing (and eager) to jump online -- especially as other advertising, such as television, is having problems. Second (and perhaps more importantly) the technology for targeting ads has gotten much, much better, thanks in large part to the paid search world. However, those who are relying solely on internet advertising for revenue would be silly to assume that the cyclical nature of the advertising world won't come back to bite at some point again. The media business is a very tough business, and just because the internet is the hot spot for advertising these days, it doesn't mean that will last.
