Allen Stern at Center Networks caused a bit of a stir with his post "Do You Compensate Content Creators?" last night and into today. Allen's take on the ad-supported revenue model is that those who read/enjoy/learn from content should demonstrate their appreciation by clicking an ad, since that's how people get paid.
I don't agree, and said so in the comments, but I wasn't able to articulate what I felt was inherently wrong with the online ad model. [...]

Before the proliferation of social media, the role of a product evangelist was limited to the amount of traditional media exposure you could get for a product, either in the press or at industry conferences.

This is actually the second time I've sat down and mulled over the idea of co-browsing. The first time was a few months ago when I saw a launch, but I eventually decided it must be a passing fad (or a bad dream) and it would disappear.

Profy has finally launched our very own blogging platform in alpha. We have been developing it here in Russia for more than a year now and the alpha release is a very important step. We were sitting and waiting nervously for the first reviews after the embargo was lifted and I think I will post links to some of the first reviews here to cordially thank all the bloggers.

There are days when I think I should have a t-shirt that says "I survived Web 1.0" so that I'm easily identified as a bit of a skeptic when it comes to the next wave of cool new toys. My husband worked for a 1.0 start-up for five years. Many of our friends also worked for start-ups, often moving from start-up to start-up like tiny ants hopping from one domino to another as they fell during the dot-com bust. So [...]
