I've taken to posting all the stuff I find interesting but don't have time to blog at Commercebucket. There are several regular posters already, and some interesting content. Here is just a sampling of interesting/controversial stuff I read this past week.
Capitalism spreads freedom even as Democracy falters.
More than the export of democracy, it is the export of entrepreneurial capitalism that can produce a new birth of peace and freedom around our globe. Entrepreneurial capitalism is based on individual invention, and because wealth comes from one's own initiative, it advances human dignity.
Four out of the five major portals will eventually die.
The problem, as Hindery sees it, is that the portals built their fortunes on non-proprietary content.

He said of those 5 portals listed above, 4 would fold eventually, or be acquired.

Rob, You have to read Leo Hindery’s Washington Insider Keynote post. It’s a prime example of punditry at its worst.
“He said of those 5 portals listed above, 4 would fold eventually, or be acquired.” Duh! Check the stats on the life expectency of any big publically held organization and you’ll see how hollow that “eventually” prediction is. Plus he pads the prediction by including AOL and MSN both noted portals in deep you-know-what.
And there’s more like the idea that “fully two thirds of the $225 billion market cap represented by those five companies comes from advertising dollars.” Nonsense.
And check the comments area to see why blogs are the ultimate BS detector!
