Re: Sell abroad!

monkchips — Sun, 28 Nov 2004 23:37:46 -0000

john has a great point. its all very talking about how easy it will be to sell abroad because of your low cost of goods. but in order to sell abroad you have to invest abroad. China, for example, is not going to buy software from a firm that has not made an investment in China. internationalization startup costs will effectively soar--advertising, marketing, PR, local product support. oops there goes our VC money... and what about costs of raw materials anyway--doesnt the US import most of this?

you need money to grab market share. if the dollar drops your money goes less far.

Google is the poster child - and it has the deepest pockets. Enjoy those lawsuits Evil Twins. this is potentially somewhat like the SCO case, isn't it? but google is in no position to indemnify anyone. will we see RIAA style cease and desist letters send to all aggregators? probably. we should probably just ignore them - the judge wont throw us into jail if recent RIAA failures are anything to go by

i would love more granularity. also i think the feedburner/bloglines subscriber metrics are going to grow in importance. measuring influence rather than measuring performance

Re: Industry Analysts: The Beasts Within The Necessary Evil

eroded and coroded? i would say improved and made leaner... blogs are a great tool for analysts and their customers. blogs help make smarter conversations.

didn't you brief this person *before* the consultation?

Its all about the cluetrain and multiple conversations. Does RedMonk have some things we return to in consultations? Sure. Any analyst has a story to tell, same as an vendor should.

I dunno. i am a bit tired after last nights redeye.

But just because one analyst sucked doesn't mean we all do.

Hasn't anyone give you a powerbook yet>?

are you sure you want this job? wouldn't you rather build something? See my C++ blog today - Flickr and bloglines are both hiring.

i just came across this blog - hopped over from alfed essa. he has a guy called Stephen O'Grady on his blogroll. Stephen is my business partner. Reason i am pinging you - he is based in Denver.

he had a meeting with newsgator the other day, so it seems there is some little synergy.

i ragged on him when he moved to colorado, so it only seems fair to admit i was "wrong" and that there is a lot going on there.

if you would care to check out his blog -
www.redmonk.com/sogrady

it might make you interested enough to meet him for a beer sometime or other. anyhow - enough matchmaking. thanks for your time.

Re: Hello World

very nice. i wasn't familiar with the old layout but the new one is nicely navigable. the delicious tags approach works really well. At RedMonk we have been thinking about becoming more bloglike, and you provide a nice template for that here. I hope it goes well. And anyone that invests in Josh knows what the hell they are doing.

Re: Bloggers up in arms about Forbes cover

monkchips — Fri, 28 Oct 2005 09:41:10 -0000

from a disclosure point of view - its interesting that daniel himself has been under scrutiny by bloggers, for what looks suspiciously like anti-IBM coverage. check out controlscaddy.com for the backstory. or this http://www.lotusgeek.com/Sa...

this story is reminiscent of the current NY Times current debacle. partisan reporter, editors who should perhaps monitor the story more closely and everybody ends up embarrassed. lyons calls out the Radicati case, but not his own role in the ongoing story...

why not just write a leader about his experiences, which would have the virtue of being honest and personal at least, if potentially misguided.

Re: These companies should fire their Webmasters

monkchips — Mon, 28 Nov 2005 11:45:20 -0000

zimbra has blogs - pointed to on the about section. seems a bit harsh to say fire them for not using RSS.

bear in mind that just having RSS for press releases makes life crap for the rest of us. Dont you hate it when a tag picks up a press release? at least with zimbra blogs i know they are using blogs to communicate real issues.

and how the shit did you miss the sxip feeds?
http://www.sxip.com/ lower left hand side
http://www.sxip.com/index.xml

what is your problem scoble? you really went off half cocked here. your wrong thinking has been picked up on other blogs. i love what you do Scoble but maybe you wanted to check Cori's facts or something?

are you conflating blogs and RSS? What are you on about? wasting people's time evidently. I dont mind helping with your factchecking - post early post often.

but as i say - the fact i came to this from another blogger blogging your claim as gospel. now that ain't necessarily right scoble. you going to formally apologise to sxip and zimbra? i think they probably deserve it.

Re: These companies should fire their Webmasters

monkchips — Mon, 28 Nov 2005 11:51:24 -0000

sorry Robert, so much for my rebuttal. your post is pointing to the exceptions. doh. i am the half cocked one. formally apologise for pointing out they are the good guys. man it must be time to go home to go and see my baby or something... too much coffee today.

have a good day.
