The Bottom Up Economy







The Bottom Up Economy

The Bottom Up Economy 01/16/2004 01:03 PM

When I was an undergraduate, I spent a lot of time studying negotiations and bargaining situations - often in situations where there was little to no trust between the parties. The end results of such negotiations always turned out to be much better when they opened up and weren't done in a "us vs. them" or top down manner. However, it was very difficult to get over the hurdle of the "we're telling you how it is!" thought process to the "let's lay everything out on the table" process. Such a lesson doesn't apply only to direct bargaining situations, but almost any type of transaction between multiple parties. The more open the process is, the more likely everyone can come to a resolution that makes people happy. This is starting to show up in many aspects of our lives, and even the folks over at Fortune have noticed the trend in our society to move to a "bottom up" world where participation and openness are expected and encouraged - rather than the top down method of someone making a final decision on how things will work. Now, whether it's the media we consume, the software we use, the products we buy, and (apparently) the candidates we elect, people are recognizing the power of the bottom up approach.

SOA Top or Bottom? 03/22/2005 03:19 PM
John Crupi writes that SOA deployments should be top-down, “problem to architecture to solution”. He specifically says that wrapping existing technology deployments in a Web Services wrapper is a “perfect recipe for a SOA failure”. Hmm... these are strong claims, radical I think, and furthermore, quite new to me. And thus worth pointing to.

AppleScript lets users - end users - combine abilities of the applications on their system to perform tasks that no single application can perform on its own. This means that a user can use data from one application, process it in another, and pass it on to a third. In the same way that Unix tools can be combined in very powerful ways on the command line, AppleScript lets users create solutions that are more than the sum of their parts. As well, AppleScript lets users automate repetitive tasks that they have to do often so that they can save time and effort.

Reduced Range
08/18/2004 10:10 PM
Well, it's finally happened. After reduci ng the range for their IPO last night, Google finally got the nod from the SEC, and priced tonight at $85 -- the bottom of the reduced range, suggesting just that interest in the IPO was quite weak. Perhaps that's because it was so complicated that many investors couldn't get in on the process. If that's the case, then many investors who couldn't get in on the IPO may try to buy in tomorrow, pushing the stock up. However, if a lot of original investors are just there to flip, there will be downward pressure as well. The shares will begin trading tomorrow, and expect plenty of commentary on which direction the price actually heads.

More CD Buyers Try Out Digital Song Stores

"Consumers who subscribed to a music service such as RealNetworks' Rhapsody purchased an average of 11 CDs last year. Those who used legal music downloading sites such as Apple Computer's iTunes bought approximately 10 CDs, according to the report. Those who used peer-to-peer file-sharing sites averaged eight CDs, whereas those who did none of these bought an average of six CDs.

"Our research shows that it's the people who are really into music that are beginning to adopt paid digital services as an additional way of acquiring and enjoying music, and so far, these services are living side by side with traditional CDs," Russ Crupnick, president of NPD MusicWatch, said in a statement. 'As the industry matures, and digital music becomes even more mainstream, it remains to be seen just how much paid digital music will affect the market for CDs.' " [CNET News.com]

It would be interesting to see if those numbers went up if library patrons could listen to digital music online at home for free using their library card for authentication. Would they then spend even more money on CDs or purchasing tracks because they were able to hear them legally in their entirety first?

Conversely, it would be interesting to do a study of library patrons who borrow CDs from libraries to see if they end up purchasing more music than those that don't. Perhaps the music industry should be working more closely with libraries as listening outlets.

The second worst, grannyvon10 (score of -19) earned her negative whuffie from a seller who says she didn't pay for 118 dolls she purchased.

The Bottom Line: Netscape vs. Microsoft,
revisited
11/16/2003 08:29 PM
"Which brings me to what I think is the biggest myth about Netscape, which is that they were a great engineering company. They were a crappy engineering company. Their web server software, which had the biggest potential for earning revenue, was so bad that it got no traction even though for a couple of years there was no meaningful competition. The Netscape web site did not even use Netscape's proprietary scripting language--the Netscape webmasters could not deal with all the bugs. The company would not even eat its own dogfood."

Interesting perspective.
