In A Year When Online Ads Slumped, VideoEgg Doubled Revenues To More Than $25 Million - 1 views

  • VideoEgg has a pay-per-engagement model and offers unique ad units —including roll-overs, ad frames, video ads, and iPhone ads—which go beyond bland banner ads. For instance, VideoEgg’s ads invite consumers to roll over and click on them to open them up so that they take over the whole screen, and then they can be presented with a video, a mini-website, or even a shopping experience. VideoEgg only gets paid when consumers engage with the ads.

    SEE!?!?!?! It's happening!!!
  •  
    This is amazing!! In a down economy to get 1% engagement and double the revenue is just amazing. There's something to this new engagement stuff.

What the Web of Tomorrow Will Look Like: 4 Big Trends to Watch - 1 views

  • January 24, 2010 by Ben Parr View commentsView Comments What the Web of Tomorrow Will Look Like: 4 Big Trends to Watch
  • 1. The Web Will Be Accessible Anywhere
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • 2. Web Access Will Not Focus Around the Computer
  • 3. The Web Will Be Media-Centric
  • In ten years, when you access the web, most of the time you spend will be to connect with your friends. Almost all of that will be on social networks and through social media. It will be the #1 reason why we ever pull out our phones, tablets, or computers.

    really more *net than HBSN, but thinking ahead>>> architecture posted earlier with content producer literally keeping posession, serving out content with a pay and privacy wrapper to sites who do nothing but resolve to the content (ie don't keep it) sort of like video embeds that can be yanked remotely - I will be paying attention to this guy

    I have one of my financial experts also paying attention to this guy. His father died this past week, so he'll be in touch with me in a few more days. I posted this somewhere as well, but can't remember where ... old age!

    incidentally though I have yet to clear through his blog, lots of interesting headings in there, it's not just the content that can be bought and sold, the metadata sets (aspects, object types, class types) can be much more readily sold as can the next level of indirection, presentations for those aspects - next item up for bids is the structure (or instance relations) when one 'adopts' a piece of someone's perspective it could register a microtransaction of value. paying for interest in a piece of content makes more sense than paying for reading it, though interest is a bit trickier to ascertain - value assignment can be done in arrears by tracking liquidity events through the corpus of material the person getting that liquidity has 'experienced' in their travels, ie they may have been 'influenced' by another piece of music in their composition and not even realize it, but the music analysis bot and history bot will suck that money down to the original composer, which takes me to a post wildcat shared about IP, will go find now... scuffle scuffle

You probably need this $600k HP datacenter - 0 views

  • I can think of so many valid reasons why you need this massive 10 rack HP datacenter: Folding@home, downloading torrents, compiling your homemade videos, backing up your precious ROMs and so on. Just stick it in the backyard and you’ll be good to go. What’s that? $600k only gets you the enclosure and not the blade servers? Oh, well. Maybe you don’t need it after all. The $600,000 price tag also doesn’t include IT support so you’ll likely need to hire a couple of 14-year old high school rejects to manage the servers. In fact they could probably hang-out in the 20ft x 8ft x 8ft enclosure has it has hookups for air and water. Interested? Expect delivery in about six weeks after you obtain a second mortgage on your home and place your order. [HP via MaximumPC]

    @Kurt--here's that server you were looking for.

Report: Gmail to add social networking features as soon as this week | VentureBeat - 2 views

  • Google is trying to push more media sharing and status update features into Gmail as soon as this week, according to The Wall Street Journal. Gmail users would be able to see a stream of status updates from friends and photos and videos shared by them through Picasa and YouTube. Although Facebook has come to dominate the social networking space with 400 million users, Gmail contacts represent a formidable latent social network with hundreds or thousands of e-mails and chats between friends. While Facebook could support weak links in your broader social network, Gmail could strengthen your closest relationships.

Ok You Luddites, Time To Chill Out On Facebook Over Privacy - 1 views

  • I spoke to Blippy CEO Philip Kaplan earlier tonight. Blippy is a service that lets users publish everything they buy with their credit cards. Crazy right? Who’d want to do that? Well, apparently a lot do. The company has let in 2,500 people so far. Those 2,500 people are publishing $200,000 worth of purchases a day to their friends. It’s less than a month old and they’ve tracked $3.8 million in transactions already, with an average transaction size of $46.
  •  
    As the TC guy concludes at the end of the video interview, this is "potentially controversial"... But it's an interesting idea. Could certainly contribute to a better targeted marketing. Still, the subscribers will need a damn strong spam filter...

Siri: Virtual Personal Assistant Prepares For Debut - 2 views

  •  
    while this is not a social network, MUCH to learn from here, architecturally, conceptually
  •  
    Great video; substantially, however, much as we are thinking about using APIs from the various groups we're a part of in the socnet areas (we like this, but don't like that, this is useful, forget this, et al.) This is remarkable stuff! I'm on the SIRI beta list - maybe by June they'll release the beta.

Bing, Google, And The Enigmatic T2: The Race For A Complete Semantic Search Engine - 7 views

  • It’s easy to read too much into these idle Tweets.  Spivack is the CEO of a search startup. It stands to reason that he would have meetings with Google and and other big search engines about lots of things, ranging from licensing his semantic search technology to an outright sale.  The one thing it is pretty safe to conclude is that both Google and Bing are very interested in semantic search.  Bing seems to be further along than Google, as the launch of recipe search indicates.

    and the future of search engines is apparently recipes.. who knew?

Dan Pink on the surprising science of motivation | Video on TED.com - 1 views

  •  
    Interesting. I think this distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivators has applications not just to business, but also in things like teaching and social network design (how to motivate users to contribute). -
  •  
    Extrinsic motivation was the way our group was formed - doing something bigger than ourselves, doing it without reward, doing it for the common good, finding a better way to do something that is important.
  •  
    Yes... Extrinsic motivation is all over the place, fortunately.

Drupal Gardens launches in private beta | Drupal Gardens - 0 views

  • Drupal Gardens is a hosted version of Drupal so you don't have to worry about installation, hosting or upgrading
  • Drupal Gardens is a gem in the rough, built on the Drupal 7 core - currently in an alpha release - extended with functionality such as a WYSIWYG editor (CKeditor), media management, a theme builder, and basic "query builder" (i.e. simpleviews) capability. We're working with the various module maintainers, and contributing back almost all of our development efforts to the Drupal community. Architecturally, Drupal Gardens is built on the ideas of an open social web; we markup data with RDFa, we implemented single-sign on using OpenID as our identity layer, we integrate with third-party services, and we allow people to export the code, the theme and data that makes up their site. We'll be sharing more technical details as we make progress, but we like to believe it will be a hosted service "done right".

Drupal May Be The First Mainstream Semantic Web Winner - Semantic Web - 3 views

  • The Drupal admin feels like it was developed by a developer while the Wordpress admin feels like it was developed by an end-user.
  • Even after improvements by Drupal, Wordpress probably still wins the ease of admin game
  • To display Rich Snippets, Google looks for markup formats (microformats and RDFa) that you can easily add to your own web pages."
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • To put it in really simple terms: rich snippets help you to be found by Google. That makes site administrators and SEO mavens get up to speed on RDFa
  • The best starting point for all things RDFa is a site called RDFa.info.
  • This 4 minute video is the most accessible way to understand how to use RDFa within Drupal:
  • This post on CMSWire, shows how RDFa is being introduced to Webmasters.
  • Today, very few sites take advantage of Rich Snippets. That will change when RDFa gets built into mainstream CMS, starting with Drupal.
  • Wordpress will catch up. Their users will demand this. So Wordpress and all other mainstream CMS will support RDFa in future.
