コモディティ化の彼方に--IT業界を待ち受ける「明るい未来」
シリコンバレーでドットコムバブルがはじけた後、IT業界のリーダーの間で「われわれの業界も成熟した。今後の成長率は、GDP全体の成長率と変わらなくなるだろう」というのが流行になったことがあった。 しかし、そのような見方はいささか視野が狭い。半導体業界とソフトウェア業界の先に目を向ければ、今日すでに存在する技術を基盤としてサービスを提供しようとする巨大な産業が見えてくるはずだ。この巨大な産業と持続的な成長を隔てているのはテクノロジー自体の壁ではなく、そのテクノロジーを導入し利用する上での文化的な壁である。そして、この壁がなくなるには時間がかかる。 この文化的な壁は、何もIT分野に限ったものではない。これまでにも同じ壁を乗り越えて発展してきた例がある。そして、多くの重要な技術の歴史を振り返ってみれば、個別化、標準化、ユーティリティ化という、3つの発展段階を経ていることが分かる。 歴史家のJill

Innovative Things: Skype - 技術革新によるコスト減なのか裁定取引なのか，見極めは必要
You are about to permanently delete this entry. When you delete an entry, you also delete any comments and trackbacks associated with it. This action cannot be undone. Delete|Cancel 先日，インフラ系の会社の方と「Skypeは技術革新か」という議論をした．その方は「Skypeのトラヒックは通信事業者が捌いていて，結局コストがかかっているのに利用者に負担させる構造がないだけだから，技術革新によってコストが下がっているのではなくて，ただ乗りに過ぎないのではないか」という意見で，確かに一理ある気もする． しかし，同じP2Pでもファイル交換なら通信事業者に過度の負担をかけているけれども，VoIPがそうかというと怪しい．通

Long Tail vs. Bottom of Pyramid
In January I spent a week in India in part to wrap my head around C.K Prahalad's "Bottom of the Pyramid" theory, which in many ways resembles the Long Tail. Are they in fact the same? As I mentioned in an earlier post, The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty Through Profits, like the Long Tail, is about finding ways to efficiently address sub-economic markets. In this case, P
Exploding Radio II
This week has brought more evidence that radio is an industry in the midst of disruptive transformation. The big news was that Viacom is planning to split off its broadcasting side, including the troubled Infinity radio division. But there were many smaller signals as well that radio as we know it is about to change. For instance: * Arbitron and comScore Media Metrix released the online radio rat
Google and Transparency
UPDATED I remain an admirer of Google, but like many other people I'm worried that the company is getting too big for its virtual britches. As Jeff Jarvis and others have noted lately, there's a worrisome bent toward "trust us" in the operation of Google News, a site I like but find frequently frustrating. Google News embarrassed itself by including a disgusting Nazi-ish site (I will not link to i

The Dunbar Number as a Limit to Group Sizes
However, Dunbar's work itself suggests that a community size of 150 will not be a mean for a community unless it is highly incentivized to remain together. We can see hints of this in Dunbar's description of the number and what it means: The group size predicted for modern humans by equation (1) would require as much as 42% of the total time budget to be devoted to social grooming. ...

Tagging in the Enterprise
One of the most popular sessions at PC Forum was the Roundtable on User-generated Metadata. Moderated by David Weinberger and Esther Dyson, it engaged the former audience in a conversation. Good thing too, as many of the experts were in the room. You can see from my raw notes that it covered the topic widely. But the gem was from two comments by JP Rangaswami, CIO of Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserste
Are Socialites Still Networking?
Friendster members can sign up as fans of Pamela Anderson as part of a promotion for a new comedy series, Stacked. More than a year after "social networking" became the leading buzzword in internet startup circles, companies in the sector haven't gained the traction early enthusiasts predicted. Still, many of the bigger networking services say the number of users is growing steadily, and if they'r

How to Start a Startup
March 2005 (This essay is derived from a talk at the Harvard Computer Society.) You need three things to create a successful startup: to start with good people, to make something customers actually want, and to spend as little money as possible. Most startups that fail do it because they fail at one of these. A startup that does all three will probably succeed. And that's kind of exciting, when yo
Undergraduation
March 2005 (Parts of this essay began as replies to students who wrote to me with questions.) Recently I've had several emails from computer science undergrads asking what to do in college. I might not be the best source of advice, because I was a philosophy major in college. But I took so many CS classes that most CS majors thought I was one. I was certainly a hacker, at least. Hacking What shoul

Interview: father of "life hacks" Danny O'Brien
Just about a year ago, technology writer Danny O'Brien strung together the words "life" and "hacks" and fired off synapses throughout the geek community. After a presentation entitled "Life Hacks - Tech Secrets of Overprolific Alpha Geeks" at the 2004 O'Reilly Emerging Technology conference, discussions of productivity, automation and hacks that get things done exploded.
