Re: Age (and ARPPU) ain’t nothing but a number: Data on how age impacts social gaming monetization

kingsley2 — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:50:58 -0000

I'd love to see what the ARPU or ARPPU curve looks like. I suspect from anecdotal evidence and some conversations with industry insiders that a few outliers skew averages tremendously. Depending on if that's true, you'd want to go in for a customer nurturing strategy vs a casting a wide net strategy.

I'm not sure what you mean by end result but the first method allows importing from a limitless number of 3rd party services that offer an RSS feed while the second requires you to post everything yourself using 3 defined methods. Hope that helps.

The end result is the same. What am I missing?

I think the graphic tries to make a point about sharp economic disparity and strongly protected borders. Taiwan probably has a tightly protected border, but not for that reason?

hey kingsley,

thanks for the response. i suppose you are right, in a world where companies will know everything about you, the way to stand out is through service and relationships.

thanks for reading and commenting, hope all is well!

Yes Jacob, companies will still have to work on building a relationship. A relationship always means taking something above the average. The average corporation now does not remember you, asks *you* to tell *them* about your relationship and never shows up for dinner. So any enterprise that does better than that is now revolutionary. This will not do in the future.

In spite of knowing every single thing that you've ever said about them, the Nikes of the world will still have to work hard to create a relationship with *you*. That's what they'll need to do to differentiate themselves from everyone else who knows almost the same things about you.

I'll write up a blog post shortly. The short answer is that I use a custom Yahoo! Pipe that I developed to drive all updates.

Re: Google-Salesforce deal: Somehow the significance is lost on me

Fake Cloud Computing — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:47:11 -0000

fake Steve, listen to Kingsley 2.0. The architecture & it's ownership don't matter a wit to be considered "cloud computing" In fact, I bet Salesforce HAS to own their data centers if only to satisfy corporate customer data security concerns, etc.

I can't imagine a CIO for a major S&P 500 corporation switching to a 3rd party ECRM that's hosted on like A3, or Rackspace, or something. Salesforce is doing it the right way. You have to think about us frigtards that are actually paying for this crap and what we want.

The deal is significant because it puts Google that much closer to real, live, paying customers who actually use SaaS to do their job and not just for blogging and checking their gmail ;-d

I think his point is that SF are looking at the competition being old enterprise software. What happens when a bunch of upstarts start doing the same thing as SF, for a fraction of the price?

Of course, this problem applies to software in general. What happens when there's just nothing interesting to do anymore and it's just a commodity? (And turns into the cell phone industry?)

Despite your awesomeness in general, you don't get the cloud, fake Steve. Salesforce.com's services could be run by leprechauns making knots in Rapunzel's hair, and it wouldn't matter one bit, as long as it was fast, reliable and available as a service. 150M transactions/day @0.2sec average = nothing to sneeze at.

Disclosure: I work for salesforce.com, but this doesn't necessarily reflect the opinions of my employer.
