As nytimes.com reports, there will be an upcoming opportunity for online-ad sellers like google or yahoo, to enforce their revenue: As a study shows, 25 % of the online users are informing themselves about products of local dealers in the internet. Thanks marketingwonk.de for the pointer.
What a cool application: asJoi Ito’s Weblog reports,
well, i´ve thought about the idea of creating an open company, in which all business-processes are open. several comments in this blog showed obvious problems: what about your customers? do they really want their names to be open to everyone? i guess, that specialising on certain industries would make sense: webprojects for the government, social-projects: they should be professionally coordinated in an open-company. But how to steer the car? it´s quite complex in organizing thousands of developers, designers, merketers…in order to get one closed project. it would be very helpfully to find new self-organizing-forms in the internet. something like the rating system in e-bay…
If you have got an iPOD, you could take this piece of software, and turn it into a multi-mobil-information-system! It even can sync your rss-feeds. if someone owns an ipod, and works with ipod2go, please post your experiences. It really sounds interesting, though it certainly is no alternative to a windows ce-system where you can edit your entries directly.
As mail & guardian reports, there now seem to be new fights against kazaa in australia. since the music industry failed to gain a stop of the peer to peer network in the usa late 2003, MIPI (Music Industry Piracy Investigations) tries to make up a multi-legal-juristication-front against kazaa, which was victim to several raids last week.
I bet you all have already heard it: Nokia bought Symbian shares from Psion, who held about 31 % (apr. 200 mio €). So from now on, Nokia controlls the manufacturer of cell-phone software. Though it seems to be quite clever on the first look (Now Nokia holds 63,3%), smaller producers of cell phones (like siemens e.g.) might dislike Nokias power, and change to Microsoft, as software-supplier to their mobile-phones. I`m not quite sure about my own opinion: having clear standards for integrating cell-phones into daily life is definitely very important. Microsoft, de facto Monopolist of desktop-software, could manage to do that. Symbians only chance is to base its software on platform-free standards.

As internetnews.com reports, the american start-up RSSAds is going to put Advertising into RSS feeds. There will be several cost-models: among them „pay-per-perfomance“ which is going to be the most attractive one. RSS feeds have become a very interesting instrument for marketers, since spam fills up all our email-boxes. (thanks
Well, inspired through this article in wired.com (thanks to Loic Le Meur´s Weblog for the pointer) and due to the fact, that i´m just building up a new business in cologne, i wonder, if there could be a form of „open-company“? Think of it: a kind of blog could be the infrastructure of the company conversation, being open to everyone…
