I've been stepping through the mine field today and have pretty much sorted through all the fools "jokes". I was really disappointed that Google didn't even put effort to make "Gmail Motion" a real deal utilizing webcams.

Introducing white space links

The challenge of monetizing the web is a tricky one, but a new venture launched right here and right now is out to solve that problem.

It's called whItespAcelInks.

There's all this unused white space on the web. Spaces in between paragraphs or links. Wasted.

Consumers are tired of being overwhelmed by ads and by pages that are stuffed to the gills with ads. What if the ads were invisible? What if we could insert links into the white spaces, links you didn't have to see but could still be clicked on? What if those ads were carefully targeted, location-based and mobile?

This is even better than permission marketing. It's invisible marketing.

In one fell swoop (does anything ever happen in two fell swoops?) we can double or triple the ad inventory of any website! And there's no need for complicated creative, because, after all, the links are invisible.

Some highlights from the funding plan:

  • We will track every user, protecting privacy by never talking about the fact that we're doing it.
  • We will create persistent browser tools that permit us to generate whItespAcelInks revenue even when you're not online.
  • There will be no push back from regulators because the links are invisible.
  • Will there be Android? Yes. There will.
  • An iPad app? I can't believe you even need to ask. In fact, the iPad app will be so appy that people will pay for it by subscription.
First round funding, announced today, is $11 million. We wanted to keep it modest and prove ourselves in the marketplace. The biggest challenge for us going forward is that the service only runs one day a year.
