Town of Bourton's miniature model has a

Town of Bourton's miniature model has a
miniature model of the model (and so on) 12/23/2003 11:30 PM
Mark 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.

Plaxo's business model

Plaxo's business model 05/24/2004 01:46 AM

Start-up 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?

Plaxo Does Have A Business Model... But

Plaxo Does Have A Business Model... But
Not Really 05/24/2004 03:05 AM
I'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 PM

Here'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 New Model Works All Around

Wayport's New Model Works All Around 05/26/2004 06:16 PM
Carol 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....
