• Fanista - Bringing Amway into the 21st Century
  

  

  It would seem Amway, that company the brought the term “pyramid schemes” to a whole new light in the 1980’s, has decided to have a go at the 21st century by backing a new site named “Fanista“.

  With a focus on CDs and DVDs for now, Fanista will later be adding books and digital downloads. And, yes, there is a pyramid scheme involved. Now named “Common Interest Commerce” (or CIC), the idea is that you bring in your friends and you earn 5% of what they buy, and then you get 5% of whatever their referrals buy. You will earn “insider perks” and “achieve social status” for being a “tastemaker”. Gee… this sounds so much like one of those Amway pitches I got trapped in to listening to every few months in the late 1980’s.

  While it sounds loosely like an affiliate program that we’re all familiar with nowadays, it’s the active recruitment that hearkens back to the old Amway business model. Considering the bad taste that the name Amway leaves in most people’s mouthes probably won’t help this site gain much momentum, if any.

• Will a MySpace Re-Design Fix It?
  

  
  MG Seigler over at ParisLemon spoke today about a rumored MySpace re-design in the works. MG likes to refer to MySpace as “designed by someone who…simply spilled coffee over their keyboard and as they blotted it up pumped out MySpace”. I, myself, like to call MySpace the Internet’s virtual trailer park. Between the shoddy design, the shady origins of the company, and the unending glitter and widgets, for those that are above the age of 14, surfing the site is not one of the world’s more pleasurable experiences.

  The rumor is that MySpace is attempting to snag Vimeo designer and Connected Ventures co-founder Zach Klein. In case you missed Vimeo, they’re Yet Another YouTube clone, with pretty aesthetics. Whereas most sites attempting to clone the functionality of industry leaders tend to go offshore for their design work, Vimeo took the route of spending some time to create an in-house design that even Zeldman could be proud of, and it is the one thing that I think keeps them relevant as a site. It’s one of the few video-sharing websites that I can go to and not feel overwhelmed by content and underwhelmed by the design.

  For MySpace to turn themselves into a serious social network with the credibility of Facebook, can they stop at a re-engineered interface, or do they need to go further than that? To address that, they need to address what is wrong with MySpace.

  No, Obviously That’s Not Enough
  Back when I was running my podcast hosting company, I made it a point to set down some very strict style, ethical and business policy guidelines to the partners I brought into it. I envisioned the company becoming an industry leader in the podcasting community (unfortunately, I was based in South Florida and Hurricane Wilma had other plans for me). I wanted the company to stick around a while, and as such, I knew that the policy guidelines that I set forth in the genesis of the company would trickle down into any new employee hires, what sorts of features they would develop, thus how the functionality of the site would work, and how our resulting public image would come across.

  The corporate culture of MySpace can be traced back to a group of folks who made their living in marketing on the Internet in the early days when spam was still called Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), and spyware was considered making software simply “ad-supported.” I’ll refrain from making comparisons to Project Bacn Beacon here, because that’s not the direction I want to go today. The point I’m driving at here is that the fact that MySpace was engineered to be a sticky and viral spam platform is evident in the lackadaisical attitude management has to this day in stopping the ten or fifteen pieces of system messages I get (per day!) on MySpace either pitching me porn or sub-prime mortgages.

  Unsolicited Advice to MySpace
  So yes, a new design, geared towards enhancing the user experience as opposed to monetizing the user experience is going to help, but they also need to tap a pool of engineers and developers with a mindset and ethos comparable to the open source movement or the hippy-happy “do no evil” mentality you find at Google. Only then, from a top down ethics overhaul within the company are they going to find themselves competitive and innovating past what Facebook has to offer.

  You’re probably saying to yourself that this sounds an awful lot like philosophy or political analysis, as opposed to some sort of technology analysis. If you are in fact saying that, you’d be right. We are talking about, after all, engineering systems designed to facilitate the interaction between human beings, and it is very difficult to engage in that without getting a little Dale Carnegie about it. If MySpace can go in for some corporate therapy to root out some of its deep-seated issues, I think it could quite easily metamorphosis into something that you don’t have to be an adolescent to love.

YouTube Launches Chinese Language Site for Taiwan; Reason for Censorship?

• 

  YouTube has launched a new Chinese language site designed specifically for Taiwan.
  In addition to user-generated content, the site features professionally produced clips from local media partners, including China Television Co., Sanlih E-Television Co., Lion Travel Service Co. and Taiwan Broadcasting System.

  According to reports, Taiwan has been encouraging users to upload videos to YouTube (previously through the English version) to promote goodwill for the country, which has often been at odds with China.

  Could today's launch be the reason we earlier received reports that YouTube is currently being blocked in China? It would make sense given the tense political climate between the two countries, and China has become notorious for blocking websites. There are also currently reports circulating that inside China, Google Blog Search, Yahoo, and Live.com are all being re-directed to Chinese search engine Baidu.

• Twype Updates Your Skype Mood From Twitter
  

  

  Twype (short for “Twitter to Skype”) is a new Windows-only tray tool that can help you update your Skype mood on the fly without doing anymore than posting to Twitter, or listening to music.

  All you need to do is download a small executable file, install, enter your account info, and you’re ready to go. Once every five minutes the program will check your Twitter account and paste it to your Skype mood area. If you use Winamp, you can also set it to check to see what song you’re playing, and that will be pasted to your mood. With Winamp, it checks every five seconds, and will override the need to check Twitter. Once you stop Winamp, it will revert to checking for new tweets.

  While I personally don’t see why you need your mood updated quite that often, apparently there are some out there who want to. The file is available at Voidstar.

  
  
  
• GMail: 42GB Free Storage by 2038
  
  

  Gmail just revised their storage estimates for the next 1449 years. Googlified dug around in the code and discovered that you’ll be getting a tiny increase to 2912MB on Friday, 4.2GB by October 23, 6GB by January 4 2008, 42GB by 2038 and 2.70266701 × 1072 TB by 3456. Google has since since confirmed by on the Gmail blog that the counter’s speed has been increased.

  Meanwhile, the paid storage is also getting a bump: $20 used to buy you 6GB extra, but it will now get you 10GB. The other prices are 40GB for 75/year, 150GB for $250/year and 400GB for $500/year.

  This is reassuring: Google is going to keep increasing the free storage despite having a paid plan they could push users over to. If you’re just about to exceed the limit on your Gmail account and you’re planning to add paid storage, it may be worth holding on for 11 more days. And somehow I don’t think 42GB will be considered very much by 2038: I expect we’ll be talking in terabytes by then.
