My questions for a network for younger users

By , February 21, 2012 5:36 am
  1. How to sell ads with a limited demographic group?
  2. What make these users stay with the network when they grow up? What prevent them from moving to a network for more mature audience?
  3. When these users grow up and start making money would they shop from that network, or eBay?
  4. Will the network stand strong after say 3 years until it can monetize its current users?

The treasure named real identity

By , February 11, 2012 7:07 pm
  • Real identities is the next treasure
  • Anything can plug in existing collection of real identities: advertising, market research, insurance, education, real estate, recruitment, pension, legal services, public services… ANYTHING!
  • The current most relevant interface/facade for an identity is a profile on a social network
  • Facebook owns probably the most powerful publicly-acknowledged identity database. Facebook’s real-time data mining has been scarily accurate.
  • Google knows what we search. Facebook knows what we share & whom we connect to.

In Vietnam:

  • It is under FUSE lab
  • It works with Follow not Add Friend
  • The design is quite neat
  • Video parties is unique
  • However, because the product is still in lab, I suddenly feel it can be shut down anytime Microsoft finds it unattractive
