I agree with the proceeding contributions that viral marketing will drive Centiare growth and build an internet powerhouse. Part of what I would like to see Centiare become is something that WP cannot: an online community of clients/members for commercial and advocacy organisations... the author ownership of the Centiare directory page linked to MySpace-type comments/YouTube videos/Blogs could create powerful online communities. I am planning to work in new media (online delivery of news commentary via blogs and video) and believe that Centiare could be the Unified Field Theory of wiki directories, blogs, and video. Nonetheless, what I intend to do in the mean time, is get every line of business in my family company to get a directory and write an article on every issue I have expertise in. We need to build content so that when people discover Centiare, they aren't disappointed with a lack of content. I like the idea of news items to drive traffic; could Centiare expand into the same area as Topix or Newsvine? [[User:Bnagroup|Bnagroup]] 16:25, 8 March 2007 (PST)

:Centiare supports all sorts of [[Centiare:Extensions|embedded scripts]], including [[Iframe]], which means we can run almost any program from within Centiare. The person who's the real expert in this area is [[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] - take a look [[Directory:Allbritton Communications|here]] to see just one example out of hundreds(?) she's created.
:I have discussed with her the possibility of linking up blogs, auctions (eBay), classified (Craigslist), videos (YouTube), etc. to create a true Web3.0 e-commerce environment at Centiare. Perhaps you would like to touch base with her - the three of us (+ whoever else was interested) could probably pull this project together pretty quickly.
:Btw, it needs to be said, so I guess here's as good as anyplace: collectivist systems like Wikipedia '''''have always failed''''' wherever & whenever they've been tried because they subsume self-interest to the "common good". In comparison, free markets '''''have always succeeded''''' wherever & whenever they've been tried because they elevate self-interest over the "common good".
:The grand irony is that, even though capitalism is inherently selfish, due to productive efficiencies stimulated by self-interest, private property systems always generate more wealth, taxes & public funding. In a Web 3.0 environment, the seemingly novel construct of allowing users to control their own contributions will produce more and better quality information. That is, Centiare will deliver more utility and value to end users. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 17:16, 8 March 2007 (PST)
