Thoughts on Trends of Internet

Internet outgrows desktop, finally

Microsoft was king but Google is the new one.

Wireless and Web 2.0 will change the landscape

why bothers to use iPod, Kuro?
Wireless makes download clumsy.
Music blog such as MySpace makes pirating Kuro unnecessary.

Web 2.0

platform provider instead of content provider. Build the right platform and the right time and the content will come and rest upon.

the platform is the portal, the one stop shop for things that are one of a kind. Content cannot afford to be placed elsewhere because this is the only place most people go to.

Marketing with not to

content provided by users, promoted by users. It spreads like virus.

Business Models

ads placed by the platform provider. ads most likely in text form, context matched with the user-provided content

Electronic Commerce (EC) and online services continue to expand

Mobile Commerce contines to find the way out
