I think the last point is the most important:
"6. Everybody seemed to feel the web game has shifted to the higher level. A lot appeared to feel that small publishers and sites would start to be squeezed out of the market in the coming years."
This is true, but I don't think it's completely accurate. To succeed as a small publisher, you will need to be remarkably talented and know how to efficiently market your site.
Gone are the days of lame content sites succeeding on pure bulk, like About.com. Except for Mahalo I guess.
- unalone 18y agoI always thought Mahalo was a sort of fameballer site. The only people I know who've heard of it know it because of Jason Calcanis' reputation as "most obnoxious person in the world". I used to like it, but half a year ago it turned cluttered and ugly. Is that really a popular web site, or does it just get attention from Media 2.0?
- jwesley 18y agoYea, it's a total SEO play. Just look at the way they interlink their pages and shamelessly promote high search volume queries like video games.
