Lost A Whole Bunch Of Blog Posts
Nope, it was way more than one.
And Blogger Is Back
The Mad Dash To Ubiquity
Two Models Better Than Five
Someone From Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Now Follows Me On Tumblr
Two Deaths: Coincidence
I just did a Google search on "paramendra the mad dash to ubiquity" hoping maybe the lost posts have been saved by Google in cache form. And all my other posts that were also lost showed up in the search results. This reminds me of the "balloon people" rant by Al Pacino in the movie Heat.
And now YouTube is down. What up, Google? Et tu? Google found out I was about to embed that clip from Heat.
Okay, got ya!
The Cloud Outage
All posts from Wednesday and Thursday are gone. Poof. Like magic. The only piece of good news is the blog still did about 1900 hits yesterday while it was in read only mode. That is a good number. Writing for Technorati and getting links to my blog from there has been a boost: Social/New Media: Blurry Lines.
And no, there is no cache. I guess Google is not real time.

Subscription Business Models For Mindfood
Image via CrunchBaseMindfood described as books, movies and music. Better than subscription is ad supported, but subscription is also pretty good. You pay a monthly fee and you get to access all books, movies and music ever created, being created. The movie people don't get this. They are like, oh no, we have to punish you by a few weeks if you are not going to show up at the theater. The music people get it a little. They are like, if you are going to get the music for free anyways, we are going to make you pay for live concerts. And the movie people are like, we can't get Brad Pitt show up at every movie theater. That's the whole point, that he can't be everywhere. Al Pacino does some Broadway stuff. But that is one location.

They will pay for digital content they could get for free through illegal means. They will pay if the service allows streaming through multiple devices - including mobile. ...... In November 2010, the company offered for the first time a streaming-only price point, in which all subscribers to DVD plans get free, unlimited streaming. ..... Revenues rose to $718 million, a 46% increase from the first quarter of 2010. Gross profit rose 50% to $280 million and net income was up 87% to $60 million.
