Great ideas come from unexpected places.

Targeted advertising has been a wet dream of web marketers ever since I can remember. The fact that it hasn't been done "right" yet should tell you it's not exactly an easy problem to solve. To build a profile like Nick is describing in his article is not an easy thing to do. I also think a scheme like that would suffer from too small niches...i.e. that the majority of the profiles are such that there are no matching advertising inventory. Re: O’Reilly Radar article.

Aren't we all, to some extent, kicking ourselves for not executing that big idea (and of course some deserve a much bigger kick than others)! It's reassuring to read this from Seth Godin. Anyone with half an eyeball on technology can explain the fundamentals of killer web services that just a few years ago were ripe for the picking - the irony is that most of these ideas, in principle, are so damn simple - otherwise people just wouldn't get it. At least @sethgodin had the foresight to hold an account in his name, and wouldn't conclude from this that he has anything against Twitter. After all, despite Twitter's runaway success, it still has a long way to go before we can put it in the same game changing category as the web. That's not to say that microblogging as a method of communication is here to stay, and my vote is for a decentralised service model, such as Laconica, to prevail - and for Twitter along with other niche services to integrate and ride the same wave.
