New Revenue Streams

Steve Smith lays out the new places money will start flowing from in 2005. On his list are:

Behavioral Targeting

Vertical Search

Digital Distribution

Blogs

Streaming Video

Mobile Data

B2B Content

I've invested money and/or my time in all of these categories with the exception of streaming video. I agree that all of them are poised to start producing real revenue in 2005. Some will be more interesting places to invest than others. But its a good list and a good column.

I think the blog search function needs to be vastly improved. We can catagorize our own posts, but catagorizing all of the blogs out there to organize them in a relevent way makes sense to me. Instead of finding an industry or interest by searching for instances of specific texts in posting, I'd like to see some more robust searching go on in the "about" content on a blog. We should have standard fields that allow us to indicate things like "industry" or "interest" in a much more standardized way. This way, when I search "venture capital" in technorati, I don't get posts on small business/SBIC's b/c of recent news, but I should get your blog and Ed Sim's blog, and Brad, etc... because you've tagged yourself as such.
Throw in some kind of user rating or tracking feature so that I know that users are deciding that yes, these blogs are indeed about venture capital and when I'm looking for vc, I'm finding it here on a regular basis. It would be nice to be able to look up bloggers based on profile... like other 20 somethings who may have graduated from my college or live in my area.
