Оригинальный подход к навигации для таких проектов, скорее промо, чем действительно directory.

We already know that Mozilla has fostered an impressive ecosystem around Firefox and its other products, but today, Mozilla Labs also launched a new directory full of interesting web apps and tools for developers. As Mozilla points out in the launch announcement, there is currently no central index of these tools, and Mozilla would like to fill this gap with the Open Web Tools Directory.

One interesting aspect of the directory is that Mozilla decided to eschew a standard, table-based layout for the directory in favor of an HTML 5 canvas based design that focuses on the products’ logos. Because of this, the directory will only work on modern browsers like Safari, Chrome, Opera, and Firefox, but Internet Explorer users will be locked out.

Ну вот собственно )) Оплаченная реклама расположена там же, где раньше сервис публиковал ссылки на различные сайты и приложения по собственной инициативе – в верхней правой части страницы, под именем пользователя и показателями его блога.

Three months ago we reported that Ads Had Come to Twitter and it was a pretty big deal - until Twitter promptly said the word “sponsored” was only appearing on the site in error. Now the “sponsored definitions” of certain Twitter “concepts” have appeared on the site again - and they sure look legit this time.

These first ads probably aren’t going to bring in enough cash to fuel a micro-app acquisition spree by Twitter, but this is the first clear public indication of one way the company is bringing in revenue.

Да-да, только не говорите об этом нашим инвесторам )))

At the Enterprise 2.0 Conference, I asked all of the vendors, “SaaS or on-premise?” The assumption, because this conference was all about modern 2.0 stuff, was that everyone would say, “SaaS, of course.”

Wrong. At least 50% of the vendors were deploying primarily on premise. Even some of the pure SaaS crowd would admit to an occasional on-premise deployment. Anecdotally, even some of those who say they are pure SaaS will deploy on premise quietly. Why are enterprise customers telling vendors that they want on-premise deployment?

On-Premise Does Not Mean Old-Fashioned

Some of the vendors selling on-premise solutions are bang-on up to date in the two ways that really matter:

• Low-priced monthly subscription pricing with freemium entry,
• Grassroots adoption, one click at a time, based on usability as the core advantage.

For example, Atlassian sells only primarily on-premise. Note: this corrects an earlier version of this post. Atlassian has told us that they do in fact sell both on-premise and hosted versions of some of its software.

Those Old IT Worry-Warts

There are some red herring issues. For example, security. There is no reason that cloud-based systems should be less secure than on-premise ones. But some high-profile lapses by cloud vendors have given enterprise decision-makers sweaty palms. “Having it in our data center just feels more secure, right? No one could hack our data center, could they?” Let people keep their illusions if it makes them happy.

The concern about application integration is a bit more valid. Sure, a cloud vendor could integrate just as easily with in-house apps. But all that data transfer comes with a cost.

Эмм… Я что-то слабо себе представляю как подобное сможет работать у нас в регионах, но кейс безусловно интересен.

Google today announced a number of SMS-based services for the African market. Google SMS provides access to information by SMS (news, local weather, sports, agriculture tips, etc.), while Google Trader is an SMS-based marketplace where buyers and sellers can connect. Google SMS Tips is a query-and-answer service that can take any free-form text query, find the keywords, and then identify and return a relevant answer from a large database.

As Google points out, Africa has the world’s highest mobile growth rate and mobile phone penetration is far higher than Internet penetration. By focusing on SMS-based service, Google will be able to reach a far larger number of potential users than by working on web-based apps.

Интересный подход к монетизации. Сами будут обеспечивать логистику или Amazon позовут?
