How to Expand Your Domain

Bluekai
In an age of reduction and bankruptcy, it is uncommon to see a skyrocketing company. Bluekai, a previously unheard company, has secretively shot to fame these days in a seemingly doubtful business model.
The company, with only 13 staffers, doesn't sell any physical products. Its main staple is what it called 'intent data'. Bluekai collected customer intention from websites around the world and then organized, aggregated or disaggregated the messy data accordingly. After an in-house processing, they will start to match these customer intentions with marketers. It looks like that Bluekai is selling privacy data, right? Bluekai didn't deny, but added that they sold the privacy data in a friendly way. Furthermore, there is also a opt-out system at hand for consumers to tick on/off their privacy info at any time.
Bluekai is acting against other IT companies if we take a closer look at its business model. While most of the IT firms are trying to expand and aggregate, Bluekai is disaggregating himself into a very little service piece. Disaggregation is one way to survive in this tough economic time. I'm sure, before long, disaggregation will be all the rage.

Magento and Zen Cart
Magento - eCommerce software platform for growth that promises to revolutionize the industry. It offers modular architecture and unprecedented flexibility.
Zen Cart - open source shopping cart software, which offer to put your business online in a simple way.
These two sites/services may be very useful in my later life, blog them down for reference purpose.

Amazon Web Services
Amazon Web Services is now offering a lot of web services including compute power, storage, datebase and other services.
What's the most attractive selling point? I think is the pay-only-for-what-you-use policy. Here is the introduction for the AWS.
The cost-effective IT alternative
With Amazon Web Services, you pay only for what you use, with no up-front expenses or long-term commitments. To get started, you simply sign up for an account and deploy your first application. AWS manages the infrastructure that enables you to deploy highly scalable and reliable IT solutions.
No contracts or commitments – With AWS, all it takes to sign up is a credit card. And all it takes to cancel is to close your account online. There are no pre-purchase commitments required, and there is no minimum amount of use required.
Pay as you go – You pay only for what you use, no more, no less.
Transparent pricing – Our rate cards are published for everyone to see and there are no hidden fees.
Better economics – As the number of applications running in our cloud increases, the operations, management, and hardware costs to Amazon are amortized over more users. When we enjoy the economies of scale, we pass those savings onto you in the form of lower prices.
Better use of your time – Doing the heavy lifting of running IT infrastructure does not differentiate your business from your competition. Running your infrastructure on AWS enables you to focus your energies and expenses on running your business and adding value for your customers – instead of crawling around your datacenter.
Better environmental impact – From the way we build our datacenters, to the innovative technologies we use to cool and power our hardware, to the inherent green benefits of sharing reusable resources with a global network of customers, Amazon Web Services enables you to maintain a smaller environmental footprint, without sacrificing the scale and flexibility your business demands.

Do you want to go viral? This is a web service I would like to bookmark in my blog in case I need it someday in my future. Octazen is a company working on address book contact importer scripts and social network invite sender scripts. It claims that it can import contacts from 26 different popular web mails, and send messages or posts to contacts in SNS(Social Network Service) sites.
