Making Money from the Digital Lifestyle
Marc Canter writes at Always-On about how to make money with digital lifestyle aggregators and Doc follows it up by tying it to his "IT as Construction Industry" metaphor. Good. Part I is the nuts and bolts. Mark's promising to show how to make money in Part II. I'll give you a preview: read what Clayton Christensen said at OSBC or listen to it for yourself. The money is always at the aggregation point. The modular parts become commodities.

Catching Up with IT Conversations
If you haven't been over to IT Conversations lately, there's some really good stuff happening there. First of all, I'm really enjoying the Gillmor Gang, which is Steve Gillmor, columnist, eWeek Doc Searls, senior editor, Linux Journal Jon Udell, lead analyst, InfoWorld Test Center and Dana Gardner, senior analyst, Yankee Group. They do a weekly show and its very fun to listen to as well as informative.
Also, Doug has been posting talks from the Open Source Business Conference. Here are a few of them that I blogged while I was there. Its nice to listen to them again:
- Ray Lane (listen or my blog)
- Larry Lessig (listen or my blog)
- Clayton Christensen (listen or my blog)
These are all great to listen to again, although I have to admit that listening to Larry's talk without the slides is not quite the same experience.
If you're like me, its too hard to listen to these on my computer while I'm trying to work. I miss too much because its hard to concentrate. So, I download these to my iPod and play them in my car while I'm driving. Since I've been doing that I find that my appetite for IT Conversations has gone up considerably.
