Hello,
I noticed recently flattr.com a micro payment system financed and
developed by pirate bay's Peter Sunde and others. Many envision the use
of micro payment platforms as crucial revenue channel for online and
offline (my smart phone scans some QR tag that leads to a flattr click).
While I am intrigued by the idea to gain access to a potential revenue
channel for (previously) free labour I'm not sure if I really should
make use of it.
We seem experience at the moment is an acceleration of the augmentation
of the user generated content with a crowd based evaluation. A LIKE
given as willing contribution and not implicit extraction out of log
files adds highly valuable information to user's profile. Flattr adds an
additional price tag to the user's LIKEs by using a cake-slicing method
(a monthly budget will be evenly split over the month's LIKEs). I think
that the combination of money and LIKEs is a important aspect with
powerful consequences. Content might in future be trimmed for
like-ability and not only towards advertisement keywords (such as
youtube videos whose producer already take the highest ranking adwords
as inspiration). Especially, as the big players will surely let a
website owner participate on the LIKEs revenue once they've figured out
how to monetize it best.
I'm currently trying to form an opinion about the LIKEs and would very
much appreciate yours. What do you think about:
+ LIKEs?
+ the additional control through enhanced user profiling?
+ the concept to collect likes but not HATEs, BOREDs, TOUCHEDs, ... (whow ?
+ the monetization of likes
+ as additional information for advertisement targeting?
+ as means of crowd funding (flattr)?
+ make use of flattr for your projects?
Furthermore, can you point me to (artistic) projects that deal with
likes/hates/... in a networked community?
Thanks,
\\vincent
