DISQUS

@Anthony I feel your pain mate. I have more projects than I know what to do with. Sometimes I have to backtrack and read something I wrote when I was thinking clearly just to get my mind back in order.

@Sarah yea, the first step to getting your information back under control is definitely putting a cap on your feed reader.

I am glad the article helped!

It really does look like a lot of entertainment is moving web-wards.

Thanks I really appreciate the compliment. If you ever need anything you know how to reach me!

Very cool, glad that you happened upon the site!

Thanks a lot Bryce, it looks like things are back under control.

There is definitely a balancing act you have to draw between growing your business, and losing site of what you really are there to do.

I did the math based on their monthly traffic data. They get about 24 Million users a month. So it is more like $600+ per user per month.

Or more relevant. About $600+ per unique ad impression in a month.

No problem.

That's exactly right. Things like Wink won't make it into the public consciousness until someone uses it to do something really bad. Then the public Forum will begin.

For a while, like they usually do. Hopefully in the interim we get some innovation to lead us into whatever is next.

That's the trick isn't it? Many of these sites seem to be created without any real market consideration.

If there is any real theme that all of the highest valued sites in this industry have it is that they *produce* something.

Right now I am having a hard time seeing what Facebook produces.

You could be right, but I think the difference between the old bubble and this new "thing" is the fact that all of the fun of the old bubble happened in the pages of publications like the WSJ and NYT.

This time around, things are a lot more interesting because we can actually interact with each other.

I think that is what changed this from a silly technological milestone to something a bit more.

I tend to agree. My only hope is that someone can nudge them in the right direction.

Thanks so much!

Actually, I don't believe he is. The Elance management team --

Thanks for the comment!

It shows up in both. As a slightly resized version like you saw in this post. Send me an email for more information.

Will do, thanks for the comment.

I wrote this last night, and this morning Techmeme is ablaze with the debate.

That last paragraph may be the best thing I've read all month, excellent analysis!

Jason, that one played against the basic human desire to rage against the absurd -- which I am sure you knew.

Thanks for sending me some great material for the day (kudos for the double-good 1984 speak), and good luck with all your projects.

I just talked to Jarrod Morgan of Realtorclix, apparently that is a nasty rumor that is being floated. They certainly have not heard anything about it.

First Yuvi, this is some amazing information. I am so glad that you sent it my way -- consider it Stumbled.

Ha, you made the list because you run a good site Rich. As for Mashable, you must admit they its easier than surfing the web yourself. :)

Thanks for reading folks, if you need anything drop me a line.

I was specifically talking about a social network for actual -pets- that I was reading about a while back (don't ask).

A social network for people who love Dogs works for the same reason a social network for new moms would, it gives a platform to post sickeningly cute pictures of your obsession.

The problem comes about when you try to push this niche to include things that don't resonate with the people you are trying to attract. The example, a social network for pets.

Thanks folks, I appreciate it. If you ever want to discuss any of your projects, drop me a line.

From Wikipedia,

The phrase "o rly?" was used on the Something Awful Forums at least as early as August 2003.[1] The original "O RLY?" Snowy Owl image macro is based on a photo taken by nature photographer John White, which he posted to the newsgroup alt.binaries.pictures.animals in 2001.[2] The snowy owl image was Photoshopped on 4chan after the word filtering of the word "repost" to "owl".[3] The owl image macro was posted or linked to on other websites, spawning many more image macros involving owls, notably those with "YA RLY" and "NO WAI".

My suggestion is that you change that, it looks like I'm not the only person confused. :)

Thanks mate, it is a good service but like anything else -- improvements could be made.
