Whats the Plan Stan

Reading the Path blog I really enjoyed following their progress. Also keep in mind that it is based on market research from March April. A lot has changed and the plan was not updated. Nouncer started as a microblogging service similar to Twitter but closer to Jaiku . I see the great potential of microblogging as a content distribution platform rather than a social interaction tool. The idea is to use social activities to enhance content in some ways similar to the Digg concept. I have recently started calling Nouncer a micro content platform to make it more accurate. This changed around March when Twitter got their major growth spurt and received significant traditional media coverage. I was already committed to leaving my day job and working on Nouncer full time as this was unfolding. I spent a couple of week in April trying to write down a business plan. I found that this exercise is made much simpler using well establish formats such as a business plan! presentation. But witnessing Twitter s growth at the time made it clear the plan had to address it directly. Instead of building a social tool build a central home for real time content. Nouncer would offer a delivery platform for newswires. The content focus made it easier to frame Nouncer differently than Twitter and Jaiku. There is still very little focus on content and tools to make content more relevant and of higher quality. These are all significant changes. The idea is out and is attached to other successful sites. Having over a year experience with microblogging development is an asset but no longer an advantage over others. Inability to monetize The financial model looked great on paper but was a very hard sell. Something I write about often is the complexity of using advertisement to monetize microblogging . Even the business plan I am sharing below played an important role in getting here.

Substitute teacher in trouble over blog Planet Out via Yahoo News

It was a therapeutic outlet for me and a way to stay in touch with friends Bollenbacher told Gay. He said the blog was just for fun and was not intended for public browsing. The school district removed Bollenbacher from the substitute teacher call list pending an investigation. The sheriff did not pursue a criminal investigation. After a predisciplinary hearing and a month of legal wrangling Bollenbacher submitted his resignation letter last week. I just want to put this behind me so I can find a job Bollenbacher said. Though the blog was once public Bollenbacher made it private when the matter blew up. It can now be accessed only with a password. The issue underscores the messiness of free speech in a wired world. Last week a Columbus police officer resigned after making racist and anti Semitic remarks in an online video. com If you d like to know more you can find stories related to Substitute teacher in trouble over blog.
