How do you decide which ones you’re going to blog about? Understanding how bloggers choose their material has become especially important for early stage ventures given that you guys are the new fourth estate.

Say they don’t know anyone and they have a day job but they have a good idea and they want to do more with it. :)

If possible I’d like you to address how Web 2.0 compares to the previous incarnation of startups. It seems that we’re back to monetizing eyeballs, and despite some really innovative services being around, no one really has a new model to get money from these services. MySpace is still stuck with a 7-cent CPM despite the “largesse” of its traffic. It’s still a model around getting as many eyeballs as possible through services, which differs little from the previous iteration of the bubble. So how is it different? And if I can squeeze another question in it’s this: Are Google and Yahoo the winners of Web 2.0, since so many of these services are still using AdSense or Overture for their advertising? Seems like they’re on a win-win situation in the contest for eyeballs.
Looking forward to tomorrow!

Cheers,

Ric

They both go on about it a lot, especially Google, but other than the usual vague stuff about 20% time and how small guys have created all the big products etc, we haven’t had much detail.
