So I’m reading Wikinomics right now and I came across a great concept: “treat advertising as if it were content”
That got me thinking a lot as to what the implications for such an approach would mean:
- Allowing comments to be attached to ads
- Giving people the ability to share ads (like a digg for ads)
- Forcing ad-creators to approach advertising from a completely different perspective, etc.
It’s just something to keep in mind…

Reddit actually does this already and it’s a interesting approach.
I had a related thought on monetizing the real time topical conversation discovery tool. First the tag analysis is performed on a user. Then when they log into our site (or API) virtual chat rooms are formed about topics happening at that moment and those conversations related to your tags show up as “joinable”. On the right hand side there’s space for relevant ads to that topic as well as users who pay for their messages to endure longer

You can always manually search for chat topics and join that way

Or you can find conversations by user

Just an update, still reviewing oauth for facebook and Twitter with python. We still need an independent user profile generator. Hoping to find some good generic code for that , think I found some php that will get us up and running.

Vlad could you look into licensing, particular the apache 2.0 license. I think I’ll be using much of that type of licensed code for the prototype software framework: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

Ok, I’ll look into it.

After reading the license it seems that we’re good to go. We just have to be transparent about using Apache.
