I agree. Don't forget about that other "format" between single and album: the "EP". As a musician, I've always liked it: not as time consuming to produce as a 40+ minute "album" but more robust than a single track or two. It's easier to dig

Borrrr-ing. Also, this will get you NOWHERE: "You can abuse artists on touring contracts as badly as you do on recording. You graduated from Harvard, they dropped out junior year of high school in Detroit. You can do this." What an asshole!

NICE. VERY well done. It will be interesting to see how they flip the recommendation algorithm [since they seem to get it about real humans knowing best]. ALSO: They should make a li'l widget for bloggers that crawls the posts and broadcas

Much of the responsibility is on the marketing side. BUT "Interactive" advertising agencies like www.schematic.com are picking up this business...and charging out the wazoo to develop very straightforward applications. The new bottlenecks

This is the most exciting article for the tech community I've seen in a long time. Way more exciting than facebook platform, etc. Look at these quotes: "Nike executives say that much of the company's future advertising spending will take

In many ways, we're already here, because there's virtually unlimited choice in what you can obtain [not just store]. It can be paralyzing. For the hackers out there focused on recommendation engines and algorithms, PG's essay "How Art Can

I agree. It's a shame they're not doing something truly valuable, like getting inside-out with all that user information. It's especially easy to get dark on them because of the attitude: "We're marginally more forward-thinking than MySpac

The key paragraphs are the last 4. Like Umair, I believe the huge value is not in "monetization through advertising", but making marketing itself useful to consumers. AdSense/AdWords is only the tip of the iceberg: "But instead of seeing

I agree in total with this take... The Net isn't going to stop growing in traffic or utility, that's for sure. My fear is that the glut of mediocrity will put a chilling effect on this "sector" from an investment standpoint. Based on my rec

One of Umair's theories is that traditional industrial-era representations of the firm (i.e. crass commercial corporation) are headed towards irrelevance. In their stead, firms which leverage the wealth of information/value outside the fi

Viewdle is definitely not underwhelming...to be fair, I think he was talking about "many" of the companies, not all of them.

Well, I would say that I agree with Umair that YouTube did indeed solve a huge personal/social problem (reinventing the stale, inefficient television/video value chain). Right off the bat, too. I also agree that "large things start small",
