Your Map for the vBulletin Ecosystem

Last time, we looked how Zoints and vBHackers (owned by vBSEO) could disrupt the vBulletin ecosystem.
The big idea is that Zoints and/or vBHackers (or another company that employs 2.0 strategies) could end up capturing more value from the vBulletin ecosystem than vBulletin.

In our previous post, we mapped out the vBulletin ecosystem, and did a bit of "value cartography" to see how profit moves in the vBulletin ecosystem.
In this post, we'll look at two of the biggest players in the vBulletin ecosystem that have the potential to -- and, from what it looks like,...

I'm working on an astrology site right now, and so I'm thinking about the next big astrological event on a global scale, which I think will be Pluto's entrance into Capricorn in February of 2008.

I just spent the past few days taking care of tax issues.
In the United States, there is a growing controversy as to whether or not a national income tax -- a tax placed on individual labor (not referring to corporate tax, or to state and local tax) is legal. Truthfully, I do not have a rock...

To expose things like this: a video of the BBC reporting the collapse of World Trade Center building 7 on 9/11 BEFORE the building collapsed.
Below is the video. Here is the response from the BBC (be sure to read the comments). Here is the commentary from PrisonPlanet's Paul Joseph Watson.

Guns n' Roses and Web 2.0
Guns n' Roses was, at one point in history, the biggest band in the world.
If you ask many of their die-hard fans, they still are the biggest band in the world (even if it has been over 15 years since they released an original feature length album).

ActoNetwork Gets Its Periodic Revolution.
I made some big changes to this blog.
1. New CMS. Out with LifeType, in with vBulletin. A rather modded vbulletin; it's an attempt in the exploration to re-invent the blog CMS.

To put it bluntly, disinformation is lying. It is the intentional manufacturing and distribution of information intended to obscure the truth.
The most basic type of disinformation is little more than fiction: purely false information passed off as true. On a more subtle level, it can...
