YouTube takes too high of a revenue split (45% vs. 30% that Apple and many other distribution companies take – FWIW, YouTube argues this is because their costs are much higher since they host and stream the video). You have to have some of your own content formats and not just be an aggregator of talent.

645 Ventures , a New York City based VC firm, is one of the pioneers of a data-driven investment model to the seed stage. We understand that from a GP perspective, pulling data from different sources, aggregating and standardising them is one of the biggest pain points in their reporting process.

Even the most radical Bell Curve -style thinkers have to concede that even if there are differences between men and women in the distribution of these traits on average, these curve have substantial overlap, and there should still be a lot more of them represented in high-tech startups.

An era defined and dominated by the few who could afford the factories, the media and the distribution systems. Like most politically important information, consumers will eventually get to be in control of their own aggregated data. But it’s here to stay and is about to replace the 200 year anomaly of the industrial era.

Using memcacheds multiget, which allows the fetching of many keys in parallel, I have written code to aggregate all the shard lookups for a given page and prefetch them, reducing the overhead even further. This is great for something like a huge DHT or a distributed work queue. The actual directory itself is straightforward.

Because they have no presence in the market, they have to find distribution channels to bring in customers. First of all, it means that most aggregate measures of success, like total revenue, are not very useful. First of all, they are not selling their product by hand. This unit of progress is remarkable in several ways.

Remember: All data in aggregate is crap, segment or suck. I pay monthly subscriptions for the Guardian, New York Times, Washington Post, The New Yorker and National Geographic. I visit the New Yorker 8 times each day on average (closer relationships, higher perception of value, and as a result I’m a paying subscriber).

As you improve the user experience, information architecture and relevancy of content on your site, it is important to keep an eye not on the rather useless metric of Average Page Views per Visit or Average Time on Site but rather on the distribution of page depth. For content sites perhaps mirror your content update schedule.

One solution I love is a visualization strategy used by the team at the New York Times. That’s what you are seeing in the distribution above. I’ve said that all data in aggregate is crap. The challenge is that if you ask people for their opinions you get tons of ideas. How do you value them? How do you present them?
