Time for my 2 p - been monitoring this list since it started - has noone suggested that the Beeb use their extraordinary visibility & 'customer base' to emulate Google on a paid ad basis?
Example might be a Beeb player or toolbar or both that returned viewing, lisening, browsing information to a central distributed DB & served relevant ads .... I reckon the BBC could give Google a run for their money if they really did it properly. Of course there are huge political & economic issues, but I would go for it as the technical infrastructure is already practically in place. I'm just surprised that nonone on this list seems to have considered what a workable business model could be? My 2 cents - and I'm also looking for a cutting-edge AJAX developer for a major Tibetan Buddhist Art Resource with funding - mail me offlist only please.
