Startups Should Team Up to Grow « GigaOM

  • The low barriers to entry for building and deploying consumer web products has resulted in an abundance of companies, many of marginal utility.
  • “Every single one of these [technology] cycles lasted between eight and 11 years. The eight-year anniversary of the last collapse is in March 2008. Now, if someone wants to stand up and tell me why this cycle is somehow going to be a longer one — I’m all ears,” he says. If Rafer is right, then it is prudent for startups to start coming up with Plan B. And maybe Plan B should stand for “buying or merging.”

Techdirt: Bands Rushing To Ditch Labels And Embrace Free; Are The Floodgates Opening?

  • more bands are recognizing exactly what a bunch of folks knew was inevitable at least a decade ago. Unshackle the music, give it away free, and use it to make a lot of other stuff a lot more valuable, and there's plenty of money to be made. The only sad part in all of this is that the record labels have been not just blind to the idea -- they've actively tried to discredit anyone who pointed it out to them.

Vom Feature zur Plattform | Digitaler Film

  • Es geht mir nicht so sehr darum auf Floaded herumzuhacken, sondern Floaded ist hier nur ein Beispiel für einen Trend im Internetvideo-Bereich, den ich für bedenklich halte. Genauso wie Gruner+Jahr versuchen immer mehr Unternehmen um ein Feature eine Plattform und ein Geschäft aufzubauen. Anstatt sich zuerst zu überlegen welches Problem eine Plattform lösen oder welcher Markt bedient werden soll steht bei vielen Plattformen zuerst ein Feature. Dabei wird übersehen, dass entweder oftmals kein Markt für das Feature existiert oder dass das Produkt kein Endkundenprodukt ist.

TLF: Music Wants to Be Free

  • in the long run, the market price of most music is going to be zero. I think Arrington actually focuses too much on piracy. Yes, in the short run peer-to-peer networks are an important source of price pressure. But the far more important factor is the sheer number of people who want to be rock stars. Now that the bottleneck of CD production and distribution has been removed, any musician can reach an infinite number of fans at zero cost. As a result, more and more musicians will find it in their self-interest to voluntarily give music away for free as a means of building up their fan base. Over time, consumers will get used to music being free
