Grupthink link magnet - $30MM ideas for Scobleizer
2 years ago
3 Comments
Robert Scoble is a prominent blogger (actually one of the most popular blogs on the internet at http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/), and he recently pondered his new role as an employee of Podtech.net, a podcasting business funded by $5.5MM in venture capital. He realizes the people who put up the money want to profit from their investment, and therefore, his job is to make Podtech.net much more valuable.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to come up with ideas for http://www.Podtech.net to make some serious dough. Once we've got some good ideas, we'll share them with Scoble.

I'll play devil's advocate since Holotone doesn't seem to doing the usual duty: but podcasting? Am I the only person that sees it as an annoying trend? I think it can be handy at times, but as for something revolutionary, even profitable on a large level? Nah.
Plus, I would argue (unsuccessfully) that there are more good bloggers (text-based, writers) than there are podcasters--the skills required just aren't taught. Everyone takes a writing class in college, but public speaking? Good public speakers, ergo good pod casters, I would imagine, are fewer and farther between.
True true. But look at the market of audience members -- do you think more are interested in reading elegant prose, or being entertained and informed by video/audio? Where is the bigger opportunity?
