Nick Denton mentions this during his talk:

- Blogonomics: The End of Micropublishing? – by Felix Salmon.

- Disabled Account FAQ – AdSense Help.

- The debate on “Sacked by a Google algorithm”.

• CPM ads (“cost per thousand views”; banner ads online and regular ads in print, TV and radio)
• CPC ads (“cost per click”; think Google ads)
• CPT ads (“cost per transaction”; you pay only if the customer brought to you from a media sites becomes a paying customer. Here’s an example.)
• Lead generation (you pay for qualified names of potential customers)
• Subscription revenues
• Affiliate revenues (think: Amazon Associates)
• Rental of subscriber lists
• Sale of information (selling data about users–aggregate/statistical or individual–to third parties)
• Licensing of brand (people pay to use a media brand as implied endorsement)
• Licensing of content (syndication)
• Getting the users to create something of value for free and applying any of the above to monetize it. (Like Digg or our own Reddit
• Upgraded service/content (ed: aka “freemium”)
• Alternate output (pdf; print/print-on-demand; customized Shared Book style; etc.)
• Custom services/feeds
• Live events
• “Souvenirs”/”Merchandise”
• Co-branded spinoff
• Cost Per Install (popular with top Facebook apps who can help others get installs)
• E-commerce (selling stuff directly on your website)
• Sponsorships (ads of some sort that are sold based on time, not on the number of impressions)
• Listings (paying a time based amount to list something like a job or real estate on your website)
• Paid Inclusion (a form of CPC advertising where an advertiser pays to be included in a search result)
• Streaming Audio Advertising (like radio advertising delivered in the audio stream after a certain amount of audio content has been delivered)
• Streaming Video Advertising (like streaming audio but in video)
• API Fees (charging third parties to access your API)

Twitter is a very simplistic core. Around that core is a whole ecosystem that adds value to Twitter. You have a large choice of “Twitter clients”, and there are plenty of websites out there that complement the basic Twitter service.

It is the anti-BetFair case. The future prediction exchanges will be built around a simplistic core, and there will be plenty of add-ons and complimentary services —all of which will be optional, so as not to scare off the newbies.

It deals a lot with the new Internet business models, which are of interest to the prediction market industry. Swap “music” with “predictions” when you read it.

PS: Deep apology to the Linux users. I don’t think they can view the videos. I will make up to you.

UPDATE: Mike Linksvayer:

The videos play fine on Linux, assuming the right (patent encumbered) codecs are installed, as they are on most systems. The silly interface wants you to use an officious quicktime install more than it wants you to watch the videos. So one just has to access the videos directly —

It’s simpler and more effective to deal with the few important tech blogs than with the important editorial offices. Dealing with editorial offices – calling them, trying to meet up with them, pitching – is time-consuming and often frustrating. We pitch for the one or the two articles the journalist can write to push our agenda. With a tech blogger, usually a couple of personal exchanges via email are enough. The blogger, then, can basically write daily updates on anything which may be relevant on the topic if he decides it’s relevant. In that way bloggers can push forward the story more naturally, which I frankly find more authentic. With all the social media [blogs, forums, Twitter, etc.] it’s more about a conversation. And it seems to me as if via news aggregators like TechMeme the mainstream media are forced to pick up the big stories anyway. So overall, it appears to me that approach is more effective for us.
