Community Conversation: BizDev2.0

 

BizDev2.0 the meme: Link

 


 

  • Technology is clearly changing the way businesses work together.

 

  • Is this a revolution or an experiment? Will we progress beyond mashups to a world where everything on the web has an input and an output and all commercial use is easily metered?

 

What does this mean for how startups should be run? Is "open" better? How much is it worth to partner with "closed"? Can anything ever be exclusive?

 

How are mash-ups affecting us currently? Is using the technology from a handful of major sites – Google, YouTube, Yahoo! – opening up new ideas or are they creating us into a mono-idea status…Ie Google-land.

 

Google’s motto is “Do No Evil.” Are they keeping to this motto or are they going down the MSN trap of dominating the web — ie stifling new products and companies?

 

What is the value of start-up or major company that is entire built on mash-up technologies and APIs? Does using other companies’ technologies limit their value?

 

A key area in building a start-up website is getting interconnected with other websites in the web. Does this make us susceptible to becoming just an over-looked side-step in a user’s journey online or do we become an integral part of the experience?

 

What about mobile? Should technology and content be exclusive to one mobile carrier? How does this affect the user? What happens to technology or content that wants to be across all carriers? Is this possible or advisable?

 

Who benefits more in a completely open world? The big guys or the small guys? Are widgets feeding MySpace or feeding off of it?

 

How do you instill loyalty in the era of search? If users are coming to your site for a particular piece of information, how do you lock them in rather than pushing them back out to the search engine the next time they're looking for similar information?

What is a Community Conversation?

 

nextNY Community Conversations are a chance for the up and coming members of the NYC digital media and technology communities to share ideas on a particular topic. We invite accomplished local members of the NYC area tech community to be conversation leaders--not to speak on panels but to be looked to as the catalysts for our event. An MC will ask questions to the 6-8 conversation leaders interspersed throughout the audience and encourage feedback and further query from the audience.
