What if you were not beholden to gateways (i.e., search engines)
- percolation - to top of search results

Biz model checklist:
- my community/customers
- delivering value for opt-in
- what will you do better than anyone else?
  service, product, pricing, context
  move up/down the supply chain of existing biz model
- how will I charge
- can I layer revenue by delivering multiple layers of service?

cpm pricing model
- 50k users
- 10 rules/day on a site
- $3/cpm (per thousand views)
- kynetx charges $1.20 per cpm

Content is Dead. Context is King.
by Craig Burton
Novell co-founder & Industry Guru (Burton Group)

What a Purpose-centric, contextual Future means for you

Content is Dead/Content is King

Disruptive but no losers

Distinguish
- content vs context
- context automation
- communication models
- identity models
- golden triangle
- ubiquity

Content vs context
- content: portals, destinations, stickiness, banner adds, pop-ups cookies
- context: mash up, do something, facilitate, cooperate, contextual help, minimal intrusion, selectors

Context automation
- communication models
  organizational vz personal
- identity models
  cookie-based vz selector-based (selector is inevitable)
  selector is identity container
- golden triangle
  selector / rules / data

Fostering ubiquity
- we get lost in beauty of algorithm
- move to make it work
- all endpoints
- don't wait for others to move
