telecom, technology and the occasional floobergeist

I’ve got an abundance of bits and pieces of canadian telecom and internet experience, and I am thrilled to be in a place in time when all is changing, technology is developing, and the status quo is being disrupted. 

Floobergeist is a word that is beginning to defy definition.  The more I roll that smooth pebble around, the more it becomes to mean. Floobergeist started out as the magic dust that turns dreams into ideas.  And then it began to encompass the zing that happens when you have conversations about those ideas. And now, it’s the whole evolution from dream to conversation, with each step improving the later and the former along the way.

Everyone aspires to good conversations. They can lead you to adventures you’ve never imagined, and to people you can twig with.

Let’s have a good conversation…

welcome.

Google - First YouTube - next PayPerPost?

October 10, 2006  /  jules kivell

It’s curious - that after a few weeks of insane YouTube buzz, all of a sudden there’s a purchase announcement. Now, with the rowdiness of PayPerPost, and the loud ramblings of the blogosphere, could it be next on the Google Train?

Google seems to be good at capturing momentum, and magnifying it. Could Google also be thinking that payPerPost would be an added attraction to it’s advertising arm? Folks are indeed comparing Adsense to PayperPost, why not work out a deal, and improve each model? When it comes down to it, it’s all about ads on blogs, isn’t it? ;-)

I’ve got you thinking now, don’t I?


As an aside…. despite all the negative hooplah, Dave Winer as an interesting tidbit about the upside of PayPerPost - maybe this new merger idea idea isn’t as off beat as one might think…
