How is that possible if you never visit the same sites? That idea appears to favor the big players.
- pieterk 7y agoGreat point! I think ISPs are fine services, they can host and serve websites like they’ve always done. I pay for my service, you pay for yours, we can connect, it balances out. If you decide to do something that adds value for the both of us, I can chip in to help you cover your costs. One thing very valuable to me is a search engine. You promise to index all sites you can find on the internet, but you need funds to buy disks and servers. I think you’d do a great job, and I’ll pay you a monthly fee to keep giving me access to your wealth of information. It so works out that the more people you can serve, the more income you’ll have to become a bigger player. Nothing wrong with that, just as there used to be nothing wrong with Google’s search. It’s when they asked not the searchers but the advertisers to pay them that things went awry.
- pieterk 7y agoAnother great service would be one to advertise my products on or disseminate ideas with. To like minded, or just interested people. I’d pay you a monthly service and will keep up my inventory. Customers would build up a profile of things they are interested in being subjected to. You could help them get to know themselves better, or find what they like by asking for information that they’re comfortable divulging. Just please don’t combine those two products in one, for the love of god!
