It must be interesting to listen to a talk given by a venture capitalist - we don't often hear from them, or am I just looking in the wrong places? Facebook has been very much the up-and-coming thing recently, but is it now being superseded by other social networking sites?

in The History of Blogging: I’m a Part of It on Instigator Blog
Please don't take (too much) offence, but isn't it .. a bit too early, for a history of blogging? I don't think there's even a decade worth of blggers.
Of course, people are developing new and exciting methods of communication daily, refining the tools, going all the way to blogging or microblogging, but only a certain time will show the real value of this.
Just my two cents ...

in The Challenge of Staying Focused in a Startup on Instigator Blog
If I may add to all that has been said in here ..
To stay focused, there is one thing needed : a general vision, from afar, of what is going on. Also known as "seeing the big picture". That's the problem with most startups. They have a good idea, a brilliant idea, they know it's time to make it through, to start running; only then they do realize that their niche is already populated to some extent, that besides the starting point they need to enlarge their vision, to let knowledge of what is already going on sink in, then redirect their plans accordingly, remaster, rebuild, subtly change directions ... that's the moment, when you're halfway through, and you damn feel like giving up everything and lighting up a cigar.
It's easy to say "keep focused", but it's much harder to do that in practice.

in The Fallacy Of Subscriber Only Content On Blogs on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
I've seen quite a few of these guys in my internet life. Useless, imho. The very idea of the internet is freedom, sharing, caring, understanding, progress, communication. Now, take your content, lock it away, make me wait for it, make me go through many steps to access it --no way that's going to happen, I'm a lazy surfer, I just google on and find the next guy that offered the knowledge for free.
Of course, there's moments when you feel you may be entitled to just put a patent on what you offer, and then sue everyone that copies it shamelessly. Pity we can't do that. But, hey, if you're good at what you're doing, and people keep coming back to YOU and YOUR webplace, isn't it the best reward out there?

in Forum Merger – Webmaster-Talk.com + EarnersForum.com on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
No way a normal man, outside the business, may want to participate in the competition with winning in mind. There's far too much material to cover, far too many competitors, far too little knowledge, far too little these 24 hours to catch up with everything.
In this time, the website (forum) receives a good kick in rankings, traffic increase, probably some of the products are sponsored, anyway they can get fatter deals for ads by now, so they technically end up with alot of good new material, ready for the search engines to index. And you? Time spent while you could've done something better.
Just my two cents.
