Marshall Kirkpatrick of ReadWriteWeb has written a thorough and thought provoking article during the Web 2.0 Expo (which I was not able to go to at the last minute and am still sulking over). The topic of his post specifically addresses API’s (Application Programming Interfaces). API’s let one application (app) talk to another […]
I first mentioned a rumor reported on TechCrunch about Federated Media receiving $50 Million in funding. TechCrunch reports that the rumor is indeed true. It will be fascinating to see what they do with the money. While they aren’t saying just yet, I’m certain that they do have a plan. […]
When it comes to the Webernet, I’m a total geek. I know this and I embrace it. I also know a thing or two about marketing, business models and innovation (at least I think I do). And I think that Linux has a major market opportunity right now.
But, when it comes […]
This has been a rumor floating around for a while. FM has had huge growth over the last year and would be an interesting investment for any VC. But Duncan brings up an excellent point:

I run Ubuntu on a laptop at home. It’s what I’ve been using to teach myself some basic coding skills. I love it. While not quite perfect it’s far and away the best Linux platform for your “Linux Curious” n00b (like me).

One possible outcome of new media campaigns that I hadn’t anticipate before is what I’m calling Death by Success.
The outcome is nothing new. Many project managers in many companies recognize instantly what it is that I’m talking about. You try a “pilot” campaign and things go better than expected. From here one […]
In my previous post on Death of an Agency. I pointed out *one* of the major flaws in our business plan is that we were too far ahead of the market (especially for being in Boise). Pretty much all of my life I’ve been ahead of the curve.
Usually those of us that are early […]
Can competing business models co-exist? Some people have argued that open source will only flourish at the expense of traditional software models.
From Seeking Alpha: I came across this article praising IBM for their Open Source initiatives which seem to be working for them. Microsoft Be Warned: IBM Boards the Open Source Software Express. Then this article points […]
I saw the other day that Radiohead is now selling their album on iTunes, after ’selling’ it from their own site for what ever price the fan wanted to pay, even $0.00. I don’t know if we’ll ever know how much they will have made on this new album, but I have to believe […]
FORTUNE: Techland Online TV at the tipping point « Annotated
I think 2008 will be a big year for internet TV. The writers strike should help independent internet only video cross the chasm. Since the networks won’t be able to do their big ‘up front’ pre-buy, the ad dollars will be moving online. […]
