Q&A on Micro-VC Funds, With Someone Who Actually Invests In Them

5) "Hardcore" Social Games Emerge - Most prior waves of the video game business have been driven initially by "hardcore" players rather than a "casual" mass market. Casual is best thought of both as a demographic and a gameplaying context... but the browser-based social games world has been flipped, whereby "casual" led the evolution. I think you'll start to see more web and mobile social games which are targeted to "hardcore" players albeit often still in a "casual" gameplay setting. But the latter will start to blur, with more social games targeted towards gamers who currently spend far more time on other platforms. Lee Hower - Blog - The Institutionalization of Social Games...

“We very much enjoyed the training and will definitely use all the content and the method in the future.” The Board Of Innovation

Non-Linear VC Tech people use the phrase “there is a pony in here somewhere” to describe a tough situation where there is a hidden big opportunity. I hear it most often in the context of a stagnating business that can’t seem to break-out and needs a new catalyst for growth. For example, in businesses that need to make a pivot (btw, the most overused word of 2010/2011 in my mind). I like the idea behind finding the pony, although not the specific phrase for reasons made clear below. Which leaves a very important question: How do you find the pony?

The Collapse of Complex Business Models « Clay Shirky It would be easy to regard this as short-sighted on their part, but that ignores the realities of culture. For a century, ATT’s culture had prized—insisted on—quality of service; they ran their own power grid to keep the dial-tone humming during blackouts. ATT, like most organizations, could not be good at the thing it was good at and good at the opposite thing at the same time. The web hosting business, because it followed the “Simplicity first, quality later” model, didn’t just present a new market, it required new cultural imperatives.

The feedback loop that is in place now with search engines makes that traffic generation a reality. Thoughts on Linked Data Business Models « Lost Boy
