Paul Graham: Web 2.0. "Web 2.0 means using the web as it was meant to be used, and Google does."


Rufus Pollock: P2P, Online File-Sharing, and the Music Industry. "a figure of between 20 and 40% would be a reasonable consensus value (i.e. that file-sharing accounted for 20-40% of the decline in sales not a 20-40% decline in sales)." ...

Självklart kommer det fortfarande att finnas bloggar med eller utan t.ex. wiki-liknande utökningar, men jag tror och hoppas att vi kommer att se en större variantion i såväl form som innehåll."

WSJ.com: How Selling Pixels May Yield a Million Bucks. "Currently, the site gets 600,000 to 700,000 unique visitors a month. As of yesterday evening, Mr. Tew said he was $623,800 toward his goal, more than enough to pay for college and earmark some cash for his next entrepreneurial venture, he says. (He keeps a running tally of his sales on the Web site, and though the figure can't be independently verified, screenshots emailed by Mr. Tew of his PayPal and other checkout accounts appear to support his claim.)"

Geeking With Greg: Perfect Search and the clickstream.
