What can you create on your website that
only exists in finite quantities (and
why people should care)?
07/01/2002 08:30 AMI just read a post on I-Sales about bidding wars on search engine
keywords, and it occured to me that Overture's model is great because
there are only so many words in the English language (or any language
for that matter,) whereas advertising models based on banner inventory
have the laws of supply and demand working against them.With an
increasing number of online users spending more hours online on more
numerous and bigger web sites, page views and ad impressions derived
from them are fighting an uphill battle just to find a buyer, as the
quantity of auto-promotion and banner barter proved even before the
advertising market bust.What is it that you can create on your online
properties that doesn't exist elsewhere in almost infinite quantities
(we mortal humans have trouble telling the difference between
"infinite" and "huge" anyway)? I'm not sure maintream portals la
Yahoo can really differentiate themselves to visitors. Sure, they can
get Pepsi as an advertiser, but what does it mean to you as a user? So
far it's only been meaning more intrusion and privacy snafus, and
generically speaking looking more and more like TV, a medium that 100%
of households happen to already get, well, on TV.Now if online
targetting means anything as a way to attract advertisers, that's
where the Internet comes with unique strengths. Here I'm not so much
mentioning the usual demographics/psychographics targetting, as much
as the ability to address very specific needs in a detailed way. And
what enables niche sites to reach their potential users? Exactly,
search engines. How's that for a circular post? It works well except I
just forgot to make a point here!OK, so my point is, ultra-targeted
online properties make sense to users (either for free or for a fee,
as I've been arguing lately on TheEndOfFree), they make sense for
publishers (if only to nail down an effective USP,) and they should
make sense for advertisers as well if it becomes easier for them to
purchase and manage "niche online campaigns." Online business success
is probably a matter of creating products (content and services for
users, ad space for advertisers,) that exist in finite quantities to
protect the value of both content and ad inventory.It's of course
mainly the work of site owners to identify and service niches the best
they can. Thinking beyond plain static content, into databases and/or
community is probably a good direction to look into (when database and
community meet, that's eBay and see how powerful a combination it can
become.)But we as customers or ad campaign managers need to grow
beyond a spoilt kid attitude. The great feeling of infinity we get on
the Internet is liberating as a whole, and I only wish more people
enjoy it and contribute to it in the future. However, this perception
has debilitating effects to niche sites which struggle to get
acknowledged by users and advertisers for the unique value they
provide. And it's counter-productive and sad to realize and miss the
value only until after it's lost (my mother keeps telling me this
too!)Next time you discover a great site that appeals to your
interests, think about sticking to it in the future. Participate in
its growth, if only by promoting it to your friends. Assuming that
Google will always pick up good stuff for you is dangerous, because
Google doesn't create anything but a collection of links. Always on
the move nomads don't create cities, yet it takes more than temporary
tents to host and grow great sites. The Internet as a whole might feel
infinite, but don't take for granted there are and always will be an
infinite number of alternatives to the sites you love. To conclude on
a less-than stellar image (warning: incoming bad pun,) the universe
might be infinite and growing, but you don't find planets around every
star.Update: We're Broke: The Economics of a Web Community (by rusty

There are lots of bright people out

08/27/2004 01:47 PMCongrats to Roland and Boris and.....
They've just launched Bryght -
a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was
in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving
there.
Vancouver is hot.
Here's Roland's post....
Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal
service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with
Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this
one. Yes, we are all Bryght
guys :-) !
We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to
give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required,
no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at
Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know
of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght
site, please contact us.
Whither StreamLine you might ask?
StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we
still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging
platform.

02/11/2004 09:36 PM Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people
represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they
want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to
account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to
friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions.
Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social
interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied
this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they
send email to (TO and CC) and how...

doesn't matter! I'm not here to sell a delivery vehicle; I'm just here
to tell people, “Hey, this is what’s going on in the
world.” When syndication just so happens to be one of those
ways, a stronger way, a better way, of getting information out there,
then, yeah, I’m going to have to proselytize because no one else
is really doing it. They’re getting caught up in the politics or
they’re just talking about RSS as kind of, like, you know
“Oh, well, we’re doing this,” but they’re not
really evangelizing it, and there are very few RSS evangelists out
there....

former President Bush decided to send in American troops [in December
1992]. In Darfur, the pictures aren't as graphic yet... What's going
to start killing them in large numbers, which will then create the
dramatic graphics that will - three months from now - instill the kind
of emotion necessary for sufficiently robust action, are the diseases
that are going to rip through these camps. I think that...

The Health Care Implosion
The Health Care Implosion
05/25/2004 01:22 PMMercury News: Health costs hurting more small businesses. The cost of
health insurance -- ranked the top concern of small businesses since
1986 -- still holds that dubious distinction, a new nationwide survey
shows. But the percentage of firms affected by those costs has grown
substantially.
The health care system, or at least
the insurance system through which our health-care dollars flow, is in
a slow-motion collapse. This story is just one more data point.
Sooner or later, we'll have to make a choice. Should the U.S. go to
national health care, as every single other industrialized nation
provides for its citizens? Or should we go to a totally free-market
system -- not the bogus pretense of one we have now -- that leaves
millions without care of any kind? Or something else?
The insurance industry is systematically excluding people who will
someday need care -- shifting costs wherever possible to taxpayers.
This may be rational capitalism, but it's lousy public policy.
I'm working on some columns on this topic.
Let
me know what you think.

to emerge over President Bush's National Guard service or lack

If you step back and
let businesses pursue profit without restraint, legitimate needs and

concerns, the argument goes, are better handled by consumers and
