MySpace tops out

by Richard McKinnon at 04:59PM (PDT) on July 11, 2006 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

MySpace is the number one destination for US internet users says Hitwise. Somewhere in late May it passed Google. Two years ago it registered .1% of all US visits; a year ago 1.9%; now its 4.5% with 75 million users. Rupert Murdoch has to be laughing. A year ago he bought My Space.

Why is this the sweet spot of the net today? A social network. Consumer created content, video and user ratings. The Grand Slam. Plus, it has that slight whiff of being anti-society. Plenty of pooh bahs disapproving, like teachers and parents, has kids rushing there.

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 Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
