ellementK: (ĕll'ǝ-mǝnt-kā)
noun - A fundamental, essential, or irreducible constituent of a composite entity. Middle English, from Old French, from Latin About Eleanor Kruszewski: I'm known variously as Eleanor or Elle. My last name is like that coach from Duke - kru-shef-ski. Based in Menlo Park, CA, I work for Yahoo! in their Developer Network. The easiest description of what I do is the MBA shin kicker, handling community, marketing, commercial programs and sundry backend stuff. Disclaimer: I've done big corps, midcorps, and startups, so I overstate and oversimplify as much as anyone else. These opinions are my own, not my employer's. |
Archive for March, 2005Free media - Orb now freeI’ve been playing with apps and javascript, and trying to tool up to commit to more immediacy and pertinence in blogging (and not go insane in the endeavor) . One find (thanks Tony Gentile) — SharpReader — has brought tangible progress already, in popping up to report that Ted Shelton just blogged that Orb is Now Free. Ted says: Yes, there will be advertising in the future — but we know that this must be done the google way — advertising that is unobtrusive and adds value without inhibiting the core use of the service. And more importantly there will be content subscriptions coming soon — all kinds of new content that you can purchase through Orb… This is a great move from Ted and the guys at Orb Networks, and should help drive adoption of mobile content - opening up new usecases and user communities. With my lagging-adopter experiments with Yahoo!’s Lauch music videos a couple weeks ago, I found that short advertisements did not mar the experience. I’d love to use Orb to access my content (my Treo 650’s 1GB SD gives me an adequate daily soundtrack), but I still believe the killer hookup is between Orb and OurMedia (which launched last week to fanfare from all but me - belated congrats to JD and Marc!). Orb would make a fabulous engine to access OurMedia pieces - where the serendipity of boredom will drive user exploration of OurMedia’s quirky contents.
