An interesting perspective on web 2 business model

2007-12-26T19:52:00.000-08:00

...advertising, while making perfect sense for search, is a lousy way to monetize friendships (Facebook), business relationships (LinkedIn), goofy videos (YouTube), etc.

Online revenue models should be based on "abundance" (you need lots of activity spurred by no-cost services), and then charge for something related to that activity which doesn't slow the activity. Trust-based commerce for Facebook (eBay except between known or connected buyers and sellers)? Optimized video delivery and paid-professional video placement for YouTube? Etc.

Aping Google is not the way to wealth and fame, but aping Google's key insight - provide a paid service on the back of an abundance of free services - is."

Thought for the Day - The New Version

2007-12-06T02:21:00.000-08:00

Today's 'thought for the day' written in our office, lead to a discussion and finally ended with the creation of a brand new qoute for the clixoo team(courtesy - Narsi).
