==>Lead Article: "The Web That Will Be..."
by Dana Blankenhorn
Remember how excited you were when the Web was first spun?
It was as if the world were invented all over again. Every
business idea ever imagined newspapers, stores, ad agencies
became new again. The Web was the great blank tablet everyone
wanted to write on, and some even wanted to read.
During the boom I wrote often that "the Web is not the
Internet," but few listened to me. By that I meant that
the World Wide Web was just one service
created for a universal network. It was the network that was
important: its services were subsidiary.
Looking around at the rubble left by the "Web economy" you
can see just how true this was.
Start with two ideas from the year 2000 and see how they've
evolved into industries. Peer-to-peer network ideas like Napster
were turned into real businesses like Groove Network
(http://www.groove.net).
Distributed computing ideas like SETI@Home
(http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/) have
been adapted into businesses like Data Synapse
(http://www.datasynapse.com/home/index.jsp).
The first idea uses the network to combine the storage
capabilities of linked PCs. The second idea uses the
network to combine the computing power
of linked PCs. Critics who saw only stolen music or E.T.
missed the point. Each of these ideas is, potentially, as
powerful as the Web itself. Instead of using your computer
to go somewhere, as with the Web, or getting stuff
sent from other computers, as with e-mail, you can combine
capabilities of many computers and create something
entirely new in the world.
The big idea for 2001 was extending the network everywhere
without wires.
The "Napster" of this year goes by the name 802.11. This was
originally designed for home networking, but it came into its glory
this year as a way to extend the benefits of a corporate or
university Local Area Network throughout the campus. The
latest version of the standard, 802.11g,
(http://www.internetnews.com/wireless/article/0,,10692_924941,00.html)
was approved just last month, and will be able to deliver 11
Mbps of data throughput, without wires, at the 2.4 Ghz frequency
range.
The danger with 802.11 became shockingly apparent after
September 11. How do you secure it? Any hacker with a PC and an
802.11 card would have a back-door into your corporate network and
all its secrets, as the BBC reported most effectively on November 6
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1639000/1639661.stm)
.
My point is that all these "problems" are really business
opportunities in disguise. If your software can authenticate users of
wireless networks, and find a way to charge them for the bandwidth
they consume, you can build yourself quite a business. Once that
happens the way is clear to extending networks everywhere people
wander, to whatever platform they're wandering
with, at speeds that make today's broadband DSL connections
look slow by comparison.
The year 2002 will bring new big ideas, new ways to embrace,
extend, and use Internet networks and the computers within them.
Press talk about problems and danger is just that, talk. If you make
yourself part of the solution to these "problems," you will make
yourself a lot of money.
So when you sift around for business ideas this Christmas
season, don't just look at the Web as it is. Look at the Web
as it will be, find what is missing from that picture, then figure
out a
way to create it and profit.

"SOFTWARE SECRETS EXPOSED" ...
This is a new ebook/course that could create multiple
millionaires over the next few years...
We all know that the major fortunes of our day are created
by folks who design and market software. One look at the
income of the likes of Bill Gates, and numerous others, tells
us that software is the place to make money.
Believe me you'll make a ton more money promoting good
software than you ever will with even the most successful e-book
promotion. In fact... I venture to say that this will outstrip every
other
money-making program on the internet....period!
But... how do you go about creating software that can make
you a huge income?
Well, here is the best part.... you don't have to be a
programmer or code writer to do it. In fact... there are plenty of
techno-geeks around who will love to create your programs for you.
Creating fast selling software is really about knowing how
to plan the process of creation and marketing successfully.
This book explains all of the in's & out's in an easy to understand,
step-by-step, fashion. In fact, it so well written that I
am frankly envious of the creator...a former IT director and
consultant, BenJamin Prater .
Ben Prater knows his stuff. He has walked the walk...and
talks the talk. He is a consummate pro who has literally
opened up his brain and exposed every successful operating
secret in the industry. My guess is that Mr. Gates, et al
are not happy about this development. This really is
"insider stuff".
Another amazing thing about Ben Prater is... he is a
hell-uv-a copywriter! The sales letter written for this program
is a masterwork. It's worth taking a look at the website
just to read, and learn from, the sales letter.
If you really want to explore some new, cutting-edge,
marketing horizons...this is it.
