Eyeballs still don't pay the bills - (37signals on Ning)
Are you kidding me? The company has blown through $120MM of VC funding over six years, built up massive traffic, yet just had to slash and burn, and you’re saying that “traffic growth is no longer good enough”. How the hell was it ever good enough?
Ning’s problem is not a lack of eyeballs but its inability to turn them into cash money to pay the bills. Getting more of something that’s a net-negative is not going to make up for it.
That was always their problem. From day one. Just like it’s any other business’ problem. Acting all shocked and surprised now is just incredibly ignorant of our industry’s very recent past.
This is the same kind of ignorance that goes on to celebrate so-called businesses successes before they posted black numbers on the balance sheet. Until that happens it’s all conjecture and possible maybes.
The just-give-it-away-for-free-and-they-will-come-and-we’ll-be-rich automatron is as broken now as it was in 2001.

With a HT to @deptofinternets Funnily enough, I'm reading ReWork at the moment and commented this morning. 37 Signals didn't take long to enter the conversation with the statements I expected.
Yes there are different models for business, but IMHO, if you are small, niche, VC'd to your eyeballs, and not making money within a couple of years, you are lucky to be still alive.
But what do I know?

Delimiter – Media companies don’t get it: Open market = sales via @iDarryl
in Australia, the process of trying to get people to sell you content is a frustrating one that makes piracy the safest and easiest way to get content

I have money, you have content. I want to give you that money to see your content. Sounds Logical? Not to the numbnuts.

Peter Dutton MP are you for or against the filter? | Darryl King’s blog ireckon
So I propose a simple two part question for you. This is the crux of the matter for me, and it may also be for a number of other voters.
My Questions:
Peter, do you support the introduction of any form of mandatory internet filter in Australia?
And if the answer to that question is no, will you push to have it removed if and when you next get into government?
I hope you get around to reading this Peter; I will make footnotes to keep my tiny speckle of readers informed on what you feel. Two quite simple questions, which in fact I believe could be answered with Yes or No responses.
I don’t need spin. I just want to know which team you are on.
I want a personal answer to a personal issue for me a resident in your electorate.
Excellent Work as Usual Sir!

The iPad-Adobe Flash Argument Concluded, Completely aka "more shit from Fast Company"
February 22, 2010 at 7:53pm by Jason Van Pelt
This is a ridiculous argument. I've written Flash apps for tablet PCs for years. You do lose the mouse over state - but that's not imperative for all flash apps, especially if you are designing FOR tablets. If anything it is a short-coming of tablets, not Flash. Are HTML hover states are any different?
Then there's multi-touch support for flash...
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/multitouch_gestures.html
http://theflashblog.com/?p=1666How can we not argue that this is a content-control issue on Apple's part? Flash isn't the answer to everything, but neither is Apple.

What a pile of tosh. I just used the new Foxtel App from Telstra on the iPhone and it has a form of hover control. I hate it, but that's not the point - it exists in multi-touch. I think I'll take Mike Chambers opinion on that when it comes to Flahs too; http://bit.ly/cXsH82

Two articles from Fast Company, two pieces of poo - Unsubscribe.
Most Innovative Companies a la Fast Company (or linkbait excrement)
via fastcompany.com
Looks like they just picked shit. Last years #1 (whoever the fuck) apparently was so innovative, it doesn't need to be innovative anymore. And HTC? The company which over the last few years has, all alone, made WinMo usable, is apparently 'new' this year. Probabaly cos they built the Google Phone.
These sort of articles are like the Techpop which appears on the front page of MSM online properties.
Yeah, you said it - utter excrement

Calacanis leads with the left on Comscore. Comscore Punches Back, leaves Jason bloody
Comscore’s CMO Linda Abraham also weighed into the argument on Posterous:
Jason:
You really need to get your facts straight.It’s unfortunate that you were picked on as a child. It must have been difficult to you. But you’re an adult now. If you want to debate, please do so with facts, not just blind fury.
My take – Abraham is right. Comscore is by far the best analytics service available.
We always choose to use Comscore data first when its available, and will continue to do so. Here’s an example of how useful it can be.
So in this case I respectfully disagree with Jason on the merits of his argument. And I ask Fred Wilson to try to keep me out of his various fights.

Hey, I know nothing about the nature of these analytics, I recommend you read the full article. Loving Fred Wilson's face slap as well

It's awesome when the comments make more sense than the snark piece dressed up as an Article
Gee. Dismissing the usefulness of a product that hasn't been announced. Where you can only speculate on its OS, form-factor, software, connectivity, ruggedness, target-audience, etc.
You must be clairvoyant.
I hope you'll excuse me if I think you're opinion is worthless, since you have no facts to base it on.
