power law

First time I heard about "power law" was 2 years ago, when I started getting some interest in the Internet Market - I was about to start commercialising our CMS, and did a bit of research about Internet companies, and the way they are valuated. It turns out that most of analysts reckoned that Internet companies valuation relies on Power law. The Internet ecosystem works in a way that just a few websites collect most of the pie. Sub ecosystems such as blogs obey to the same law - the A-List bloggers get most of the links, and therefore monopolise the traffic.

And I am more and more convinced that it is true - but does it mean that you don't stand a chance to get a nice slice of the pie if you come in too late? Don't think so. This law can also be broken "very easiliy", and anybody joining in the game can claim a big slice of the cake too - a new blogger can raise to the star status within months for instance. If I was putting more time on this blog, linking more, socialising more around it, checking for grammar mistakes, finding more interesting stuff to say or creating better links baits, posting more regularly, etc .. I would probably stand a chance to make it take off in the Technocrati charts.
But am I interested in putting all this hard work into this blog? certainly not. My laziness and tendency to reject all aspects of socialising through Internet (strange though how much I am passionate about setting these things up!) are far much bigger than my ego..

So, galide will probably never hit the charts unfortunately for me. But with a meeting with investors next week, I will have to convince them that Jazar can!
