BBS 05: Blog Business Models: What Strategies Make Money

January 24, 2005 at 10:31 AM

Blog Business Summit comments about Chris Pirillo and Marc Canter presentation on Blog Business Models: What Strategies Make Money.

I think the most memorable part of this session, aside from Marc bellowing out in the lobby for everyone to get back in to the presentation room, had to be Marc's questioning of time remaining on the clock when then was followed by Marc challenging Chris to what appears to be a sumo challenge. Chis's solution was to use AdSence with lots of free content. Which isn't really anything new or practical for a lot of businesses.

It's unfortunate that Brian Alvey had to cancel his appearance in this session. Don't get me wrong, I admire what Lockergome has done, but it's nothing really groundbreaking here. Nothing we haven't already heard. I hope the next session turns this around. I wish that I could have walked away from this session with much more practical business ideas. As Marc put it, top down marketing... not this bottom up marketing.
