Idea: An application for sharing stuff sparingly with your inner circle of friends
0 Comments Published by Louis Adekoya August 25th, 2010 in All Business Ideas, Web/techThe idea is for a web application sort of like Facebook but for sharing stuff with your inner circle of friends and family members and with a focus on sharing sparingly – only relevant stuff. The premise here is that I still share a lot of stuff (links and media) by email with some of [...]
Are Foursquare and Gowalla Missing a Trick?
0 Comments Published by Louis Adekoya March 25th, 2010 in All Business Ideas, Web/tech, mobilePerhaps Foursquare and Gowalla already have this on their roadmaps but it seems to me that they are missing a trick right now in not including a seemingly obvious feature. When I check-in to an establishment, the establishment should have the option of displaying to me a mini mobile website, to which it publishes content [...]
Business Idea: A ChatRoulette for Music Discovery
3 Comments Published by Louis Adekoya February 16th, 2010 in All Business Ideas, Web/techIt pains me to give this idea away (if there is such a thing) but no doubt people up and down the tech world are right now brainstorming copy cat or spin-off ideas to ChatRoulette and someone’s bound to have thought of this already and is probably working on it as I write. I suppose [...]
Personalising Landing Pages with Facebook Connect
1 Comment Published by Louis Adekoya March 28th, 2009 in All Business Ideas, Blog, Web/techStill on Facebook and conversion, what if people who click on your Facebook ad could be greeted with “Dear John” (or whatever their name was) when they arrived on your landing page instead of a generic “Dear Facebook User”? Facebook would of course need a user’s permission to do this and if they hadn’t received [...]
How Would You Implement This with Twitter – #TweetMeWhen?
0 Comments Published by Louis Adekoya March 6th, 2009 in All Business Ideas, Blog, Web/techI am new to Twitter so I am still learning to tell my RTs from my @replies, DMs and hashtags – or is that #tags? Anyway, I think there might be some combination of all these Twitter elements that might enable it to support the implementation of a tool that I have long wished was [...]
A Facebook App that I Would Pay for with Zuora’s Z-Commerce
0 Comments Published by Louis Adekoya March 6th, 2009 in All Business Ideas, Blog, Web/techOne of my favourite products from this year’s Demo show was Zuora’s Z-Commerce for Facebook. With Facebook having failed to give application developers a way to sell their apps to users a la the iPhone’s app store, most of the developers have had to resort to free, frivolous apps that they then look to monetise [...]
Facebook Should Buy 7 Billion People
0 Comments Published by Louis Adekoya March 3rd, 2009 in All Business Ideas, Blog, Web/techJust watched the demo09 presentation by the company 7 Billion People. They operate in the space that I have repeatedly suggested Facebook should focus on – Conversion. My thinking is that assuming it is technically feasible, adding Facebook data to the algorithms that 7 Billion People currently uses in customising e-commerce user experiences could significantly [...]

It’s been a while since my last post, in which I explored conversion as a potential alternative revenue model to advertising for web startups. In this post I want to explore a way in which Facebook could make money from conversion. Remember that like Google, Facebook already enjoys a [...]

7 Comments Published by Louis Adekoya November 13th, 2008 in All Business Ideas, Blog, Web/techIf you are a web developer then you have no doubt rolled your eyes more than once at a suggestion by some wannabe entrepreneur like me that you should work on his brilliant idea for equity. We all know what your answer was – naff off or some less polite variation of the phrase. That [...]
Thinking About Alternative Revenue Models for Web Startups
0 Comments Published by Louis Adekoya November 11th, 2008 in All Business Ideas, Blog, General Posts, Web/techIn this post I look at Google’s revenue model to see how alternative billion dollar revenue models can be derived on the same principles, using Facebook and Twitter as examples. I say alternative because advertising, which basically is Google’s prime product serves only one of many business needs – gaining exposure. There are several other [...]
