Technosailor: Consolidation in the Blogosphere

  • Chris Baskind · 1 year ago
    Dead on, Aaron. Choosing your partners and building attractive federations will be the new black. As in ink.

    It sounds good on paper, or video for this matter. Seems only natural that with so many players in a market, that it's ripe for consolidation -- history has proven that in many other industries.

    I think they key to success for any future "blogging conglomerates" will to make the right acquisitions and mergers and having an actual strategy in place before they just buy out the competition.

    Yeah, I think consolidation could be done in federations or alliances than
    just by pure acquisition. There's probably several models lying around if
    folks got creative.

    I am listening to this and it makes perfect sense. Just a few thoughts though:
    1. It sounds like your talking about a new denomination....
    2. Or Unity ie...One world...(how do you get everyone on the same page?); Didn't Lenin try that??
    3. There will always be someone in the organization who rages against the machine
    4. Always enjoy reading the post and great seeing you in MD

    Steven, I presume. :)

    Yeah I need to do a followup vid this morning going the issue a little deeper and clarifying some of the things I said yesterday.

    Good to have you stop by.

    Hmm. Allied blogs. Allied relational databases. Those that federate will reap the soon coming benefits of the semantic web. The like minded will be able to form cohesive ontologies easier as well.

    You lost me at ontologies. ;)

    The richest compost comes from a variety of sources. Rose beds require a lot of it too.
