- In the pre-digital media landscape content is scarce – difficult to produce, difficult to replicate, difficult to deliver.

- In the pre-digital media landscape content is scarce – difficult to produce, difficult to replicate, difficult to deliver.
- Content is no longer scarce – in fact, in a digital world it is far too abundant, dysfunctionally abundant, and so easy to copy and replicate that almost all of it is available online for free
- Time– this is an even more important factor, discussing PR with a friend of mine the other day I said that it was the MOST £ for £ cost effective way to market a business or product in the world – because the coverage, if achieved, lived in perpetuity. This idea of an ever growing stack of content, with a much lower frequency of “breakage or leagage” changes the rules on scarcity in an exponentially expanding way.

- The question becomes “where is the scarcity?” When production, distribution, retail, replication of content is not scarce, what becomes scarce and what offers value?Rare or unique contentHelping people find the right content – filters, like vertical search engines, that workHelping people find the right content – interfaces, like the iPod, that workInsight – understanding metadata to deliver people the content (and commercial messages) they want or need
- What are the new scarcities, I would argue today there are very few. One of the key scarcities is Consumer attention, it is incredibly hard to get your brand, or idea heard in the cacaphony of the worlds media, particularly the flat world of digital media, which has little hierarchichal structure to it.

- To receive their personalised tweets, users must follow @JobsitejobsHaving followed @Jobsitejobs, the user receives a Direct Message containing a personalised link to Jobsite to set up their search criteriaClicking the link takes user to Jobsite who then scan Twitter Bio and suggest matching jobsPersonalised Job Tweets are the sent to the individualClicking the links will take the user to the Jobsite website, where they can apply in the usual way.
- Charing audiences directly (paid subscription); charging brands (brand-sponsored subscription); indirectly via advertising
- Consumers will pay for certain types of content at certain times, but most content is too commodified. Whilst we await with interest what Mr. Murdoch is doing, we believe that the bulk of revenues for publishers going forward will come from display advertising – though it will require cross-industry collobaration, using common technology, to create a new value chain that will ensure this display revenue stream will be lucrative enough to keep content publishers as viable businesses.
- In the ‘old world’ consumers interacted with inventory and this interaction could be monetised This is changing to a world where there are multiple opportunities for monetisation Consumer’s information, and interactions with inventory, and other advertising and services creates a rich source of data which can be further monetised

- There are two main display ad buys – expensive premium branded content and cheap remnant. The chasm between the two, and the implication that there is nothing in between, indicates the market is not working for either buyers or sellers
- Advertisers (and therefore buyers) need highly targeted audiences but no individual publisher has the scale to provide eg 30-year-old male second car buyers in East London, even though we know they’re there
- Weakness in taking people on a journey from the first time they see the ad to the actual buying decision
- Lack of open standards for visitor data means that as people click from site to site they – absurdly – fluctuate in value to advertisers second by second, so an eyeball on Thisismoney in early April might be worth £50cpm on the assumption they will buy an ISA but the very same person is suddenly worth pennies to display advertisers when they go to their webmail a few seconds later to check which ISA their friends bought and less still a few seconds after that when they reach a social networking site
- The weakness on both the buy and sell side is a lack of open standards that would tell us where users had been, what ads they had seen, what content they had engaged with and therefore what other messages would have the greatest value to them

- The perfect transaction for Jobsite is presenting each candidate with one job – the right job – and each employer with one candidate – the right candidate
- CLOUD COMPUTING AND OPEN STANDARDS COMMOTIZE MANY PARTS OF THE VALUE CHAIN. HOWEVER, IF WE ARE SMART, AND FOCUSSED, WE CAN CREATE VALUE WHERE NONE EXISTED BEFORE.
