Web 2.0 “Made of People” (Ross Mayfield)
When something is broken, that’s when innovation happens. (Is Search broken?)
The Radiohead example: they allowed buyers to set their own price. So, what if you give control over pricing to the consumer? What could be more radical than that?
“The best experts on your products are not on your payroll” (it’s your customers).
The Old CEO search - hire an executive recruiter, wait 6-9 months, pay $100,000 fee.
The New CEO search - blog about it! Use LinkedIn. Email people. The result: months saved and no recruiter’s fee. BTW, Powerset is looking for a new CEO - I offered them the AltSearchEngines Job Board, $49 instead of $100,000! We’ll see.
Finally, people are people, not “users” - a banned word. At AltSearchEngines we have banned the word “contacts.” We have relationships with the Alts, they are not “contacts.”
