If we realize that instead of creating a resource for the user we are creating ways for all the users out there to share their resource we can take advantage of Metcalfe’s law.

I have yet to see any major advertising as a result of the information "they" are supposedly stockpiling on us. If these sites were being used to market to us why are they sitting on the information? There is not much more they could compile on us. Also there are laws about privacy which are enforceable by law, I doubt these companies want to get themselves into class action lawsuits. Advertising using contextual ads can be pretty good income in volume, people make money on click-throughs all the time. When I was an IT manager for a doctors office we paid a company called shareasale.com, this was a pay-per-click service, $5 per customer routed to our site. Imagine having those types of pay-per-clicks on a social networking site like myspace with over 100 million users, even if it was only 50 cents per click. Not to mention advertisements for movies and other things that don't need a click through, just to be seen by as many people as possible. I believe myspace only has around 300 employees. Trust me, they are banking. I also read that article and posted a response to the student who listed it.

The new business models for web 2.0 interest me as well, and I liked the article you posted here. I especially liked the portion that looked at the two basic types of business models in Web 2.0. Do you have an idea of the type of business you would set up online? The question to me is, how does the business make money? One of the other students in this class cited an interesting article http://www.bit-tech.net/columns/2006/06/03/web_2_privacy/1. It got me thinking about revenue streams in the era of Web 2.0. YouTube, Flickr, MySpace-- they all basically offer free services for people. I always thought they made their money on advertising, but they must be getting a lot more from the data they have. Very thought provoking post! I think you took an interesting take on this assignment. The new business models for web 2.0 interest me as well, and I liked the article you posted here.

If money is somehow converted to some other abstract figure, I kind of get it, but otherwise the idea of business leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'm more of the romantic, idealist, (hippy, I'm told,) I'll-leave-my-mark kind of person. Despite that, you brought up a topic that is interesting even to me. Seeing these ideas condensed into such an article really puts a perspective on web-as-a-business sort of thinking. The internet is becoming a great place to make money and I wish you luck on forming your own online business. This is completely out there, but I think Myspace is a terribly organized site, and the applications they allow people to use only give me a headache. The designers for it should be shot, or at least made to use their own product. Maybe improve on their business model, but don't make it so messy? I will admit, I have no mind for business.

After all the researching on Web 2.0 I still have questions, mainly to do with what is it? It looks like you have done a excellent job finding answers to your own questions about Web 2.0 and how it pertains to the business model. Another note about Web 2.0, as it relates to the business model, is that to have any successful business it is wise to fully understand your audience. I think that is why "social networking, blogging, has become so important. A company that allows open discussion of their business (within reason of course) has better insight into their marketable public. What are your thoughts on that idea?
