Thanks to one of his quotes,
I found this interesting documentary (dutch, sorry guys) of Edsger W. Dijkstra.
In some way his plead is against unnecessary versioning, which even closed source vendors as Microsoft are starting to use for many reasons.
According to the documentary he is fighting an unwinnable battle, which reminds me of the math give-up post. The innovation that
web 2.0 is bringing so fast is great, let’s hope most of it is stable.
If you liked the Weblognieuws idea, you’re going to like Revver.
They do pay for your videos, what I call good competition for Youtube, Google and others.
For the Bloggers b5media and instablogs pay for posts, although very unknown and still unprofitable (thx. Marco). Solution for being unknown, is having a large community. In that case large community portals are sitting on gold. Sad again to my knowledge they aren’t trying it.
Neither do I understand why all these clones aren’t even trying yet to connect one of these payment-systems to their site. Use credits or other virtual money if you haven’t got the money (like the habbo hotel and many role-play and gaming communities), just get visitors accustomed to it. Quick. Why do traditional media wait till there is a crazy social site to take over this local news market?
Update: Blogcharm, Scooptwords and Blogburst pay as well bloggers.
Update 2: Eefoof, payperpost do it too.
