It’s obvious but I just have to say that Google must be licking their lips.
It’s sentimental and quirky but they have never removed “I’m feeling lucky” from the homepage and now there’s a chance it will get more action in the future.
Either way if this trend does take off then search will become even more nb.
Google’s strength and ranking algorithm has always been to find websites. It is what it was designed to do. It is far worse at finding real info. So this will play to their strengths if things proliferate.
Indecently i am also curious about how much search traffic I will generate via the word Gang bang in my headline - LOL!
Whatever …… I will def register elanlohmann.unique !! or elan.fun
So after pulling numerous all-nighters, and now at 1:20am again, while working on my plot to take over the world I wondered if car-jackers in Jozi have to deliver business plans to their exco ……..
I mean - which ever way you slice it - those guys are running a business.
But I wonder if they have to submit a doc that says they will have stolen 100 cars by April 09 to gain a 40% share of the Sandton market in the luxury vehicle segment.???
So - I have a domain, a name and a logo on the way (courtesy of Clint Bryce).
What’s next? Vision and mission I guess …………
Vision >>>>>>>
To innovate kick-ass web 2.0 technologies that firmly put South Africa on the global internet map.
Mission >>>>>>
To fearlessly and swiftly build useful, innovative technology platforms that enable community, communications, contribution and sharing to an engaged audience that can be monetised.
Ambitious - well I’m thinking “Go big - or go home!” : )
So I was so chuffed that I managed to register www.podstarter.com as well as .co.za, net etc etc today and in a world where every word and combination of word has been registered already I was gob-smacked that it was available!!
Now - all I want to do is build a business around the concept!
In fact it got me to thinking - how many businesses have settled on names purely as a factor of the .com domain they could actually get. I was equally as chuffed when we scored Utterbuzz.com earlier in the year.
You can introduce whatever other domains you like but if you don’t got the .com - you don’t got nothing : )
Watch this space. Podstarter.com has a name - now I just need a plan : )
Found this decision very interesting that Fox opted to use Passenger to build out there communities rather than sister Myspace.
You would think that Myspace would have the tech available to make this happen on Foxes behalf.
Most interesting for me is that Fox have not tried to create a sub-group in Myspace and shoe-horn it as a mechanism to aggregate audience - which most publishers or traditional media companies are tempted to do.
Passenger have built Business Intelligence tools to mine customer opinions and experiences with a bunch of other tools in a turn-key solution - which shows very clearly that you cannot treat the concept of social networking - or community as one homogeneous solution.
