The Can’t Do Voice

Most will not find this pertinent to making money or startups. However, it is very pertinent. Undo the “can’t do” thoughts in your head. Can’t do’s have no place in a startup.

This is an excerpt from a larger work entitled “A Day at the Zoo” by the now-deceased Dr. C.S. Hyatt

Sa-Shu-Ah – by Crag Jensen

Close your eyes, relax and float downstream.

Hello – I am the man on the Radio
I am the man on your television News Channel
I am the man behind the pulpit and the man who works for the Government
I am the man whom you must believe in because I am the man whom you fear the most.
I am – alas- the man who has been planted inside your head since you were too young to even talk – to walk- to reason or question.
Yes, it’s true – I am the man who never tires of telling you what to do – how to vote – what to eat – what to buy – what to believe in – where to go – when to go – and how to go.
I am the man who sits inside your head and dictates – dictates – dictates. I am, therefore – and in essence – your personal – government approved & church sanctioned – dictator.
I am not you, but I will be all that is left of you at the end of the day because you have long since relinquished the responsibility of being who you really are because it is much, much, much easier to listen to and obey me – rather than to break free of me and actually accomplish something worthwhile in your – so-called life.

Life-life-life
No Don’t waste it
Don’t be a slave to your programming – anymore
When you can open – yes you can open the door.
And Set yourself free.

And though I wish you well – only time and work will tell
Just how you will fare – true success is all too rare.

But whatever you do wherever you go – don’t forget
To keep on undoing yourself (undoing yourself, undoing yourself…)

The Death of Keywords and Domain Names

I was considering the death of keywords and domain names.  Here is what I believe is going to happen over the next year if not sooner:

1) Keywords will be supplanted by relational phrases

2) Domain names will be supplanted by Twitter Usernames

So before your sitting there saying god this guy is a complete dumb ass just roll with it for a second or two.  Finally with the advent of infrastructure on the web becoming stable many of the technologies that were around circa 89′ / 99′ have come back into the fray.  Here is a laundry list in no particular order of importance: Machine Learning, Data Mining, Natural Language Processing, Semantic Intelligence, Predictive Analytics.  Some have parts of others and some are considered umbrellas of other technologies.  The importance of the infrastructure being in place is phenomenal.  We used to have to worry about things like co-location,bandwidth,storage etc and now it is a given.  EC2,S3 and the like have made these worries a non entity and we can get down to the business of creating intelligent computing – finally.  Twitter Trending a (#) hashtag on follow Friday is nothing more than creating your own intelligent content delivery (iCDN) system abliet at this time human powered.  There is the ability to have relational and semantics across those and also fusing the symbolic with the semantic.  Don’t think its possible?  http://www.mashmeup.com  Enter a complete URL and watch what happens.  No Keywords.  No Adwords.  So what does that leave to bid on in the world of search or ads?  What if you didn’t have your precious AdWords to buy or Keywords to put into your SEO?  We have to come up with a different model.  How about a model of barter arbitrage based on the immediate viewership in the moment?  Just In Time Content Creation that can be trended and optimized.  When we used to think about this there was no animal such as device edge caching.  Done.  There was no animal-like Support Vector Machines in real-time.  Done.  We are at a precipice where this is possible and we are seeing it.  There is however the issue of privacy and creating a personalized in moment web world for you that I will discuss on a different bloggatorium.  That said we will start bidding on information in situ and not based on the banal keyword.  I can hear it now.  Keywords were so 2010.

Given we will not longer have keywords to bid on what’s in a name?  Mashable.  Jack.  PerezHilton.  You get the picture.  I am sure most of you have already barnstormed the TwitterVerse much like the heyday of the early days of domain names.  There are still some nuggets out there.  However, just look at the traffic.  It is amazing to think that Twitter was an accident.  I like to call Twitter the Narscisstic Attention Deficit Disorder Network (aka NADD).  There have already been some rumblings on the back channel of how much is the going price for the top 10 slots.  Immediate hits on your page (back to my first point).  How does the Twitter Username semantically relate to what is happening in the moment?  How about changing your Twitter UserName to fit the moment and then bid?  A new Stock Market Model.  The opportunities.

Then again I could be totally wrong.

Being Amazed After All This Time

First welcome to my “blog”. I finally stood up this blog in order to assist others in the maze of creating and making money from ideas. Thus the Idea2Bank moniker. What better way to make money than from a simple two-sentence idea, some slideware, a specification then software? It is truly unique. I hope to see you back and I will be posting daily. Y’all Come Back Now – Ya’ Hear?
