Internet and TV, are we at the tipping point?
Walt Mossberg today reviewed a couple of new technologies that allow you to beam video from a PC to a TV wirelessly. Pretty cool, but IMHO there is not a big demand for this. More interesting is the discussion about whether we are at the tipping point between TV and the internet, where more and more people will get their video from the Internet. In the video below Walt is a sceptic, but his ...
Deportalization and Internet Advertising
Glam hired a new guy today. Techcrunch, VentureBeat and PaidContent all posted about it. All of the reporting on this hire focus on Glam's coup in getting their man, and on their profitability heading into Q4. There is little in the way of analysis, which is probably quite reasonable on a news-filled Monday morning here on the West Coast.. As TechCrunch's Jason Kincaid reports: Glam Media h...
Real Time Streams
John Borthwick has captured in words what many have been grappling with in a less articulate way for about 18 months. The new paradigm we need to think about the internet has finally emerged. This snippet outlines the broad trend: Start with this constant, real time, flowing stream of data getting published, republished, annotated and co-opt’d across a myriad of sites and tools. The s...
In Defense of “nothing”
Columnist Henry Porter is generally considered to be a wise observer of the human condition. Today, in an article in the UK Guardian owned Sunday, The Observer, he blew it ..... badly. As a newspaper man he ought to have been aware of his almost certain bias and perhaps counted to ten before pushing "send". And, given that he didn't,  his editor should have saved him from himself after the fact,...
RSS has peaked! – Forrester. Nope, it hasn’t! – Me
Forrester released a report today ($279 download if you want it). Titled "What's holding RSS back?" it claims that only 11% of Internet consumers use RSS and that those who have not don't understand it. Steve Rubel at Micro Persuasion responds that : "..while feed adoption may have crested the idea of online opt-in communications is just getting going. The Facebook newsfeed, Twitter and Frie...
OpenID and Data Portability
Nicolas Popp - a leading advocate of Open Identity and data solutions - posted on his VeriSign blog today following the rather heated discussions that have ensued since Google announced its Friend Connect product recently. Nico's employer - VeriSign - along with Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, AOL and others, is a member of the board of the OpenID foundation.Nico's primary argument (emphasis mine) is...
Google and the newspapers
Over the long labor day weekend Google announced a serious change in the way Google News will relate to the various wire services and the newspaper industry. The change could have a dramatic impact on the traffic Google News sends to newspaper web sites. There have been several commentaries on the developments and Techmeme has been a great source tracking them. The New York Times, ironica...

edgeio launches Classified Boards

Posted By: Keith Teare on February 20, 2007 in announcement, edgeio - Comments: 1 Comment »

As promised John Dowd – the product manager for edgeio marketplaces – opened up the beta of the Classified Boards product to the public today.TechCrunch France has already used the platform to launch Crunchboard France.

The announcement is here; Dan Farber has covered it here, and Robert Scoble has an exclusive video walkthrough on the Scobleshow.

I really believe John’s product will help create a classifieds ecosystem for the Internet in the same way Adsense created an advertising ecosystem. Now, just like newspapers and magazines, any web site can earn revenue by putting up a classifieds board and taking paid listings (free boards are also supported).

Congrats to the entire team.

edgeio marketplaces – first review

Posted By: Keith Teare on February 18, 2007 in edgeio - Comments: 2 Comments »

Well, the first review is in. And its been Dugg.

We pre-announced the product a couple of weeks ago and on Friday the first beta testers had a chance to try it out. More are following throughout the weekend. With any luck we will open it for a public beta on Tuesday.

The idea of allowing any web site to create a free classifieds board, and to take listings into it – either in return for a fee or for free – is core to the first marketplaces product – Classifieds Boards. Theoretically this should make it possible for web sites to do what newspapers and magazines have done for hundreds of years – make revenue from classified listings alongside their revenue for advertising.

Check it out at http://marketplaces.edgeio.com. I have placed a job board on earningscast – took me 5 minutes – at http://jobs.earningscast.com.

To fully “get” edgeio marketplaces it will help to read the “de-portalization” post I did in December.
