Wordcraft, an
on-line community of
linguaphiles, best
known for its extensive collection of
eponyms, has taken on a
new and fairly ambitious project -- they're trying to rewrite the
entire

in limerick form. So far they're
only on the

optimistic.

Some people in
Kenya rescued a dehydrated baby hippo that had been separated from its
herd. The released it into an enclosure in a sanctuary, and it ran
over to a giant tortoise, and is now "inseparable" say officials.
"'When we released Owen into the enclosure, he lumbered to
the tortoise which has a dark gray color similar to grown up hippos,'
Sabine Baer, rehabilitation and ecosystems manager at the park, told
Reuters."

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.

An iTunes Model for Education
An iTunes Model for Education
09/18/2004 05:56 AMAn iTunes Model for Educationhttp://www.syllabus.com/news_article.asp?id=9925&typeid=155Matthew Pittinsky, chairman and co-founder of Blackboard
Inc., thinks that e-learning should mean much more than just putting
courses online. It should mean the creation of a true networked
learning environment that allows students, teachers and researchers to
access any learning resource anytime, anyplace -- whether that
resource is a learning object, another educator or student, or a
scholarly database or application. Pittinsky says, "Increasingly,
providers of commercial digital content fear 'Napsterization' --
widespread copying and re-distribution of digital content -- and the
industry recognizes that publishers need an adequate, affordable
digital rights management (DRM) solution to maintain effective
business models in the face of disintermediation. However, any kind of
DRM solution, particularly as applied to educational content, must
also be easy to use for both teachers and students and not create new
barriers to incorporating educational content into online teaching and
learning. Perhaps what we need is an Apple iTunes for digitized
educational content -- a consumer-friendly approach that encourages
access to a wide range of content for the end user, but, through
effective application of DRM, does so in a way that preserves a
business model for the commercial content providers."
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...
Dodgeball's advertising model
Dodgeball's advertising model
08/02/2004 10:40 PMHere's a report on Dodgeball's advertising model.
I've been waiting to get the facts and now I have them.
Congrats to Dennis et al.
Here's ileechcowsdry's post.....
Dodgeball.com Advertising Platform
I love the "engineering serendipity" promise of mobile social
software like Dodgeball.com,
and am looking forward to it spreading beyond the overnerdy and the
underemployed. Making money running a social networking site is
difficult though, and we've seen every social networking organization
struggle with it. I'm really curious to see how this new Dodgeball
advertising plan is going to go over with its users. I'm into the
principles behind it, and the founders are definitely smart guys, but I'm really
curious to see how advertising affects the dodgeball social ecosystem
they've created, but are not necessarily in control of.
Friendster of course has seen a lot of action in this department,
inspiring lots of people and then pissing many of them off. Their saga
went something like: Rise of the Fakesters, then the Fakester Genocide and subsequent Fakester Backlash, Manifesto, and Exodus,
and now the much-blogged Installation of the Corporate Fakesters.
And speaking of corporate fakesters...
Dodgeball's ad plan looks like a more thought-out, more functional,
opt-in version of Friendster's move. There's a pilot program in NYC
right now that Dodgeball is running with Absolut Vodka, through which
you can add Absolut as a friend, and then they ping you every once in
a while and recommend bars to go to. Surprisingly, there's not the
obvious advertising move of "go to this bar in the next 30 minutes and
get an Absolut martini for $1.00" Wasn't that what we were promised
when Bluetooth was just around the corner in like 1998. Save on office
supplies, just 20 feet to your left! We still don't have that yet -
with the Absolut promotion there is nothing specific to Absolut,
they're just sponsoring some new Dodgeball functionality that could
easily be part of the main service. It wouldn't be that hard to manage
the backend of those more interesting kinds of micro-promotions - just
drop off a case and tell the bar to pour it from 11:30 to 12.
Definitely a step for Dodgeball and a change in how its service
will be perceived. I will definitely be watching to see how it goes,
how users respond, and how an increase in this kind of sponsorship
will change things. Not necessarily some knee-jerk reaction to
corporate presence, but an increase in push vs. pull, persistence of
sponsor in network, etc. Luckily for the Dodgeball guys, they have the Shirkmeister to watch over them.
Clay probably covered all kinds of online community governance case
studies in their program - and I'm sure Dodgeball will become another
one. Just too early to see which way its going to go at this
point...
Take a
look at Dodgeball's advertising page - there's an interesting
breakdown of how the Absolut promotion works, and a reasonable list of
how advertisers might use Dodgeball as a service.
The dodgeball advertising platform allows users to opt-in to
receive messages from select advertisers. Custom-built tools allow
advertisers to push content to these user's mobile devices based
on:
1. Date & time
2. Geographic location /proximity
3. Weather conditions.
In addition, advertisers can choose one of three ways to reach
their opt-in audience:
1. Broadcast regardless of location. (e.g. broadcast to all
users in NYC)
2. Broadcast based on geographic proximity. (e.g. broadcast only
to users within 10 blocks of Washington Square Park)
3. Ask and answer. Ask users their location and respond to them
with a geographically targeted message. (e.g "Tell us where you are
and we'll tell you where to find the nearest happy hour.")

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....
Wayport's New Model Works All Around
Wayport's New Model Works All Around
05/26/2004 06:16 PMCarol Ellison echoes and expands on sentiments that are rampant: fixed
fees for hotspot reselling moderates risk: Ellison's superb three-page
column at eWeek.com analyzing why Wayport could succeed with its Wi-Fi
World model through their existing partnerships, the reduced risk of
success through fixed fees from many parties, and the value-added
services that will keep Wayport in McDonald's even if hotspot usage
doesn't skyrocket. In an email exchange with a few colleagues today
who follow the Wi-Fi and cell industries, the same themes emerged.
Wayport has cut through the nonsense about Wi-Fi growth by building a
model which has an upside based on the number of resellers, not the
number of sessions they sell....
