Paul Kedrosky: PriceGrabber Grabbed. Ännu en prisjämförelsetjänst uppköpt. Intressant att notera att flera aktörer i nischen har blivit uppköpta för runt 500 miljoner dollar. Av olika typer av köpare. Förutom PriceGrabber gick även Shopping.com, Shopzilla och Kelkoo i den häraden. ValueClick fick Pricerunner för knappt en tiondel av det. Värt att jämföra med uppskrivna Web 2.0-bolag som Flickr och del.icio.us som per styck har kostat Yahoo ungefär lika mycket som Pricerunner.

"As has been true since the start, iPod owners mostly fill up their players from their own CD collections or swipe tunes from file-sharing sites. Now legal downloads may be losing their luster.

Geeking With Greg: People are lazy. "Paul goes on to say that "intelligence belongs in the network and in the algorithms" and "relying on users to do the heavy lifting -- however intellectually appealing -- is not going to work in the real world of lazy users who see little in it for them.""
SvartAnka: Piratkopieringen stjäl arbetskraft. "And I base that on absolutely nothing."
Bambi Francisco: No bundles on the Web, please . "At a recent presentation, I held up two newspapers to illustrate a point. "This is what's wrong with old media," I said. "It bundles so much unwanted news with the news I care about at that moment.""
