Live Journal is in the communications business, which makes perfect sense.

What I’m taking from this talk: communication is becoming agnostic to the carrier of said communication. RSS is one aspect of how we can get around teh specificity of “media” and move toward more data having direct primacy over its representation.

Google’s play into the reader space solidifies this. The ultimate thing about Web 2.0 is the treating of data as a core object rather than something that needs to be represented. In my view, we mash data up in layers until ultimately what we have is data that can be represented in a more meaningful form.

Business models A good point was made about most business models are “to be acquired” or use Adsense. I admit, my little dot.com is profitable because of Adsense, but still. A business model is important. This has me thinking about my future venture (call it AC) and how it’ll have a model for business.
