The Wisdom Journal
I recently ran across an article in the Financial Times, a London based newspaper. The article was titled Advertisers brace for online viral marketing curbs. Here’s a quote:“Revised guidelines on endorsements and testimonials by the Federal Trade Commission, now under review and expected to be adopted, would (Read More)

: Interesting story. As the article concludes, this would be hard to enforce. However, it does hark back to an earlier discussion I read in these pages regarding the practice of paying bloggers to endorse products. In those circumstances then I think there should be some control - it is effectively just another form of advertising afterall, and therefore should be regulated in the same way. But personal, 'word-of-mouth' raves or rants about particular companies or products surely are protected under freedom of speech laws . . . ? Authenticity is everything.A business acquaintance's daughter is currently being sued by a doctor after she complained about his treatment in a blog post. He is claiming loss of business. But, if she is posting about a genuine personal experience as a warning to others, is that actionable by the doctor? I am no legal expert, and I know every case is different, but we have to draw a line somewhere, surely? 23

: Sorry have to disagree with you here. Facebook has 175 million people, half of which are using on a regular basis. Whilst not perfect, no SNS is, yet, all are finding their way and facebook has the best chance to do that. They will gradually fine tune and end up being a behemoth with hundreds of millions of people using it daily. Oh, and they will be making lots of money too.
Feb 23, 2009
: the difference between myspace and facebook as you know is that facebook users are using their real names and real friends. I think this model is a long term sustainable one.Of course all of this is yet to be seen. There is a good interview on Charlie Rose with Marc Andreessen (who is on the fb board) that explains their position on revenue, basically if they chose to turn on regular advertising they could be $1billion revenue company. They are choosing to organically find a revenue model that fits with their users (or doesn't piss their users off probably is a better way to put it) They have proved they can scale, now they just need to find their business model. That will involve some experimentation along the way. Anyway, good discussion... 
Feb 23, 2009
: @panda88 How sustainable it is going to be depends on how much more innovative they can be primarily as a social network, and that has been lacking in the service of late. Trust me, I've loved it till a while ago, it was easy to use/understand, now it is hard to make out what exactly is it all about and i see it in other regular users too. Yes, the aggregates are still shooting through the roof, but it is just not as engaging as it used to be -- which is easily hidden by the astounding numbers. If they catch it early, they can go on to becoming legends of the stature that Google and Amazon are now."if" is something that I can't comment on. I have huge respect for Marc, the Opsware story is something that I keep telling people I help and mentor as a stellar example of creating and sustaining value even in some of the most awful circumstances and eventually end up on the winning side. That said, his investment decisions/destinations have not always been brilliant. Other SNs have turned on traditional ads at scales closer to FB, and it did not work anywhere close to a billion, because it has been demonstrated again and again that SN inventory is of considerably lesser value than regular content. But I do hope they do find a way of making this work. Every online biz, especially at scale, has a limited runway to get it right. At massive burn rates they have, they need to get it right sooner than later. This is a critical time for FB, if they fail, it will be expensive, but success, if it requires more scaling, will be even more expensive. Which means, assuming they get it right, the need to burn a lot more. Point being, they don't have too much time to find that magic button which will get it right for them. Thanks for the comments, it has been an enlightening exchange :) 24

Popular online video web site Hulu has gained major traction in the past year, thanks in part to integration with popular, cutting edge apps like Boxee. As of Friday, Hulu on Boxee (and TV.com) is no more. As consumers of streaming video, this news is annoying. Applications like Boxee push what we can do with internet video (Read More)

: @rpetty Hulu is so replaceable. Of all the content providers, they are easily the weakest one. Their movie selections are limited and available at dozens of other places. Their television programing is partially available from NBC directly and the Fox content can be found at http://www.ovguide.com. This is a great source for movies too Another source for Television programing is http://www.channelchooser.com/ It kind of looks like Hulu too. My new favorite is Miro 2.0. It has excellent HD picture quality. If you need more let me know.
Feb 21, 2009
: For me Boxee has been a total bust. Hulu works great. Netflix streaming via their Roku box is also wonderful.
