Re: Why Does YouTube Hate Business Content?

Well, my friend Sam will say they bought YouTube to just head off the competition, but would you pay 4.5 billion for something just to block a competitor?

There's got to be a plan for Youtube business, eventually?

Google hates competition I guess. Why they don't have a business section is hard to understand. Considering their plans to monetize it, I'm sure they'd make more money off business selling blue widgets, than another skateboarder leaving tooth fragments on the sidewalk.

Anyone ever tell you, you look a lot like Will Farrel?

Re: Is Your Online Social Life Ruining Your Real Family Life?

Yep, your right. Some of the online social stuff is really invasive. Learning to control the online stuff is really a matter of discipline. Balance is important. Nobody works 7/24, even if they like to create a persona that suggests that.

Re: Solar Powered Airplane Launching Later This Year

It's encouraging to see all the green innovations coming out these days. Even a plane that partially uses solar would be a big improvement. Given all that wing space for panels, being closer to the sun, and flying above the clouds, solar powered planes make perfect sense.

As a reader, I must confess to not being a big video blogger fan. While, it may make sense from an SEO standpoint in the SERPS, it just takes so much longer for me to watch a video, then just read a post. So many video bloggers just ramble and ramble. If I'm reading, I can skim over the stuff I don't want, and just get to the good stuff.

Right but imagine the Electric Light bulb as an example. If you already have people who understand gas powered lamps, use them, and see no need for change -- a part of your job is not only creating the electric light, but making people understand that this technology will change their lives.

Another example would be the Steam Engine, which was considered a toy before people realized that it could be used to create Freight trains.

If you are improving over an existing technology, need already exists. If you are building an entirely new paradigm, you need to "create"' the need, or at least help people discover it.

I can understand building a product to fill a need, but what do you mean by "not only creating a product, but also create a need". I always thought as an entrepreneur we're here to fill needs.

That can be true, but at the end of the day, somebody is responsible usually for the purchase, and they won't admit it, but they make decisions because they don't want to get fired. Big fancy, cushy, executive jobs are like this.

That's a fantastic point. All the Internet does is provide a platform, unfortunately when people abuse it like this it makes it appear much more dangerous than it actually is.

I hope, whatever happens with this case it's agreed upon that the fault is with the people -- not the technology.

What is wrong with some people? An adult picking on a 13 year old. Man, how screwed up must her childhood have been. Apart from the horrible loss of a young life, the other downside is how the internet and technology get smeared. People need to realize, that the internet is not the problem, but our culture. It's society that needs to be fixed, not the technology. I read a quote the other day, the the internet is really just a reflection of our culture. If we don't like what we see in the reflection, breaking the mirror won't help.

I don't know, I'm a little skeptical. Most major purchasing decisions (ie. big dollars) seem to be made by committee. Or if not by committee, there are at least purchase/contract experts within most big corporations that have to vet any decisions recommended by mid to senior management. How do you make a here out of a whole committee?
