seedcamp: seedcamp: 2008 application zeitgeist

    Cool, Python bigger than some of the 'mainstream' (Ruby, Rails and ASP.NET), but at least still smaller than some of the 'mainstream' (PHP).

    I was just thinking the same thing. I wonder if that has anything to do with the Google App Engine running Python, or if it's just a coincidence.

    Agreed - I was also surprised that some up-and-coming languages were absent (Erlang, Haskell, OCaml)... and no Git either.

    That's beautiful, and so very telling.

    edit: I want these as posters and T-shirts

    Very creative thinking Morland. Information, Advertising, Open-source - that just about sums web 2.0 :)

    The advertising part is a bit tricky...not always the best solution to make money.

  • Rohit · 1 year ago
    Very very good!
  • Simos - PeoplePerHour.com · 1 year ago
    Excellent idea! Very interesting - especially the popularity of 'Advertising' as the most popular revenue model of choice (or additional revenue model I wonder); I would have thought that 'Free' would have been almost as big (given that it often goes hand-in-hand with Advertising these days) but perhaps the phrasing of the question ("How will you make money?") did not encourage the use of 'Free' as an answer!
  • cdmh · 1 year ago
    Advertising as the most popular revenue stream? Sounds risky; I think investors tend to stear away from advertising-only revenue models. Now, as a lucrative secondary income, advertising is not to be ignored.

    Perhaps the combined 'services' and 'service' is as big as Advertising, and the balance is present? Word clouds are attractive, but lose the context of the statements. Cool idea :-)

    This is great. Surprised to see that no one is trying to create a 'platform' and 'marketplaces' are not high on the agenda either. Great work. Can't wait to meet the finalists now.

    Interested in the non-aggregate patterns - if everyone is thinking the same or similar things - someone is not thinking. Be interesting to launch another round of applications to come in having made this information available - and you would get better applications - or - get your applicants to reapply having looked at this and spotted the gaps. Could be part of the development process of selected projects -
