The Last Laugh

by Richard McKinnon at 03:26PM (PDT) on October 6, 2006 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Oh, they said, the pundits and soothsayers, Murdoch paid too much for MySpace. We're in a bubble. And all these new video sites? An unmonetizeable sinkhole of capital. Then, a week ago, the man who Yahoo rewarded with 6 billion for worthless properties called Broadcast.com, Mark Cuban lashed YouTube as overrated and valueless, Napster in disguise.

But wait. Was that really all true?

Today, the New York Times reports that Google is in talks to acquire, YouTube for 1.5 billion. That's almost exactly what people said it was worth based on eyeballs, downloads, possible advertising rates. Yes, the age of video is here.

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where business partners in Perceptric Pty Limited, Chris Gilbey and Tom Koltai post thoughts, ideas, and links to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas with a particular focus on P2P.

Perceptric Thinkers are available to consult on the impact of disruptive technology. If your business is not disrupting someone else, it is probably being disrupted by others.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people exceed their expectations.

We try to help people redefine the ecosystem that they operate in, and understand the impact that digital technology is having - that they have not yet considered.
