Conflict Of Interest Dooms Paid
Inclusion

Conflict Of Interest Dooms Paid
Inclusion 12/26/2003 02:56 PM
The folks over at Jupiter are saying that the business model for paid inclusion search terms needs to change. They point out what everyone here already knows: in using a "pay-per-click" model there's a clear conflict of interest for the search provider. The more clicks they get, the more money they make, and thus, their incentive is to push those results higher in the search, rather than having the most relevant results come up first. Thus, Jupiter suggests that the cloud of suspicion over paid inclusion will hold back the market until they switch to something like a flat rate pricing system (though, even that raises some concerns). Of course, I'm not so sure this is how things will happen. The FTC has been warning search engines that use paid inclusion that they need to stop, and that hasn't done any good. At this point, most surfers have no idea what paid inclusion is, or that their search results might be tainted by links that people are paying for. Thus, as long as the search engines are still making money, most people don't know what's going on and the government doesn't really crack down on the practice, it's unlikely it's going to stop any time soon.

Disney dooms self with moronic Bluetooth
boycott 03/28/2005 07:32 PM
Cory Doctorow: We live in a weird, temporary bubble during which it is actually possible to sell people ringtones and video and crap for their phones, because mobile phones usually come locked down and unlocking them isn't a common practice yet. So there's this temporary opportunity for media companies to bleed their customers for music and movies they already own in tiny, stripped down "mobile" versions, and any company that doesn't get in on the act now is gonna lose its chance soon, as market forces drive phones to more and more open states.

Which is why Disney is blowing its own goddamned brains out by refusing to sell any of its stuff via mobile phones' Bluetooth connections. I mean, all this crap is already available on Kazaa as MPEGs and MP3s, where anyone in the world can download them, but Disney is freaking out because they're worried that someone 10 feet away from me and I might trade our Mickey wallpaper.

They're boycotting Bluetooth until such time as Bluetooth starts to include DRM. I participate in standards efforts for DRM, and they are slow, contentious and ultimately fruitless. Which means that by the time DIsney wakes up and recognizes the future that's gnawing at its ass, the opportunity will be gone.

Dear fellow Disney shareholders, we need to get this company back on the rails before it outsmarts itself into bankruptcy.

Walt Disney Co., for one, won't allow its wireless partners to deliver any of its ringtones, video games and other content to phones with Bluetooth or infrared, another technology for direct connections between devices, until the industry adopts a more secure format to prevent unauthorized sharing and copying.
