Gov 2.0: It’s All About The Platform
by ycc2106
But as with Web 2.0, the real secret of success in Government 2.0 is thinking about government as a platform. If there’s one thing we learn from the technology industry, it’s that every big winner has been a platform company: someone whose success has enabled others, who’ve built on their work and multiplied its impact. Microsoft put “a PC on every desk and in every home,” the internet connected those PCs, Google enabled a generation of ad-supported startups, Apple turned the phone market upside down by letting developers loose to invent applications no phone company would ever have thought of. In each case, the platform provider raised the bar, and created opportunities for others to exploit.

Such as: “Anyone can make their own magazines for free.” Enter MagCloud, a new print-on-demand website dedicated to magazines.
It works like this: you upload a PDF of your magazine to the MagCloud website. You are then told a minimum price per copy that it can be sold it, to cover their production costs. You set a sale price above that, and make it available on the website. MagCloud processes the orders, deals with the payments, sends you your margin, and then prints out a single copy of the magazine and mails it to the customer. You have zero fixed costs, and don’t have boxes and boxes of unsold mags in your garage. Everyone’s a winner. Ish.

When Will Amy Winehouse Die? - Predict it here!
by julie
We’ll all have a date with our maker someday, but Amy Winehouse just can’t seem to wait. She can write and sing a beautiful tune, but for some reason Amy has landed in a self-destruction derby. It is even rumoured that Amy and Pete are keeping the Colombian economy going. She simply looks like a cat’s asshole before it’s been dewormed. Amy is on her way out and as the world is profiting from this decline we thought it only fair that you should profit from it too. Guess her final breath and be crowned Mr. Or Mrs. Death. Winner will be rewarded with a iPod Touch.
