 I have to admit that I’ve been a bit overwhelmed by today.  I’ve
sorta glazed over as I’ve gone through blog post after blog post talking about how grim and
dire things are for us. I realize that the week has been legendary in terms of the stock markets
plunging, but the response from many startups and bloggers has been far more than emotional than
logical.
I guess that on Wednesday when I spoke of the optimism
I have gained from my prior experience, I imagined that everyone would be infected by my
visions of sugarplums, unicorns and rainbows. Instead, today has been filled with proclamations
of the death of Web 2.0, layoffs, and depressing photo essays. Obviously, I realize
that it may take a bit more than one single screed to turn the tide of emotion that seems to be
sweeping over most of us, and I don’t intend to relent.
Our own resident cranky geek Steven Hodson was the
first to chime in, and with many of the same sentiments I had:
The trick here is know that as human beings we have the incredible capacity to pick ourselves up,
dust ourselves off and try again. We are an incredibly resilient people which we have proven over
and over again. We did it in the 1980’s and again in the late 90’s. While we may not
seem to learn lessons from those experience it doesn’t stop us from getting up each morning
and trying once more.
This is the type of time that separates the wheat from the chaff. Those who can not survive may
be able to sell off their assets in order to start something new. As Steven said, “are we
going to feel pain?” Absolutely, but there is a lot to learn from pain. You learn not to do
the same things. Personally, I think we will see some interesting ideas start to appear, and they
will be created cheaply. Innovations in technology will continue to appear, but consumer prices
will drop in order to stay competitive and affordable.
At the end of the day, a society’s economic standard of living is based on the ability of
its people to do more with less resources. Less time, less money, more output. The United States
(and, increasingly, the world) is filled with brilliant, creative, and entrepreneurial people.
This financial downturn may take a serious toll, but the tools that we have to deal with it are
the best they have ever been.
The three of them hit on a few salient points that bear enumeration. Â As Steven and
Rob say, many of us have been here before, and one of the key factors that separates the wheat
from the chaff (in tough times particularly) is perseverance. Â And as Lee said, in a
time where less capitalisation may be available, those that do more with less will come out ahead
on the other side (and as he and I agree, it’s never been easier to do more with less).
Necessity is the mother of invention, though, and the need to streamline budgets during a lean
time will spell increased demand for certain types of businesses. Â A few immediately
spring to, though I’m sure there are many others.
Co-Working Spaces: Very recently, we featured an Austin area co-working space
that made a significant impression on me. Beyond the fact that I think it’s a great idea in
general for companies looking to save on costs and be in a position to grow their business
through networking opportunities. This is a type of business that’s growing quickly right
now, as several have popped up in other areas of the country as well. San Francisco has enough so
that it’s difficult to spit without hitting one. Â CenterNetworks has showcased
a number of coworking
spaces recently, including New Work City and IndyHall.
One of the things that really struck me about Conjunctured out in Austin was that it was a
completely bootstrapped effort that seems to be paying off already. John Erik Metcalf gave the blueprints to how they made this
happen at an interview he gave us at the SummerMash Austin event.
Bootstrapping and Growth Based Businesses:Â Bootstrapping a business (or as we
used to call it years ago, making your business “growth based”) is one sure-fire way
to build a sustainable business under these circumstances. Of course, if they nay-sayers are all
right, we’ll all have no credit to speak of and it could be our only option for new
businesses for a while, but if a business is able to make due on their own they can come out the
other side much stronger.
Even before the catastrophic times of the last week or two the more folks I talked to
both at events and via contacts made for story pitches at Mashable, it seemed I was hearing more
about folks shunning the angel funding and venture capital route for the bootstrapped
method.
It requires a more sharp business mind at the outset of the business than your typical VC-backed
startup. There are a lot more pitfalls in a growth-based business, too, since you’re
operating without a net most of the time. Â Whereas in the instance of a venture backed
firm, if you’ve made a gross miscalculation, I’ve heard many stories of where the
business plan they started with has been modified beyond recognition to continue through the many
rounds of financing. With a bootstrapped business, you’re still required to be nimble and
responsive to market changes, but you’ve got less chance to get it wrong before
you’re out of business.
In the end, the rewards are greater since you haven’t halved your business a few dozen
times with the many investors, and if at the end of the day you have something successful,
you’ve got greater freedom and share of the spoils.
Collaborative Tools: This is an area that has a lot of potential for growth, at
the very least for existing players. Much of what is possible in this space has already been
done, but for what’s there already could see a lot of growth as companies try to put the
clamp down on unneccessary spending for travel. Â Meeting tools like GoToMeeting and
Webex immediately spring to mind, but Web 2.0 tools like Google Docs and Zoho which allow
simultaneous editing of documents can also see more heavy usage and user growth.
Virtual conferences and online seminars are also going to see an uptick. Next to
personel costs, travel budgets to conferences (particularly winter conferences like CES) are
insanely expensive. The ability to network, meet vendors and learn from presenters with live
video and advanced communications tools like Twitter, IM and inline chats all have the capability
to replace (or create a suitable fascimile thereof) of the conference experience.
Idea Marketplaces: There are a growing number of idea marketplaces on the web
these days. I’ve actually looked at several under embargo in the last week or so, and
they’re all getting more and more specialized for individual niches. In the past, companies
have been bought and sold via places like SitePoint, eBay and even Craigslist, but what’s
to come will be more specialized marketplaces so that weekend projects and bootstrapped efforts
can be turned over to portfolio companies and larger organizations that want to rapidly add to
their available services.
Workforce Marketplaces: This is going to be perhaps one of the more dicey and interesting sectors
to watch as it develops under the coming economic shifts. Sites like Rent-A-Coder and
GetAProgrammer are all international marketplaces where finding someone to do the grunt work on a
project all generally go the the lowest bidder. It’s difficult for most citizens of first
world nations to compete with the much lower costs of living overseas where the talent often
matches American talent in most areas.
This is both good and bad. Â A lot of work can be accomplished for very little cash,
which is good for the cash-strapped business. Working with overseas contractors comes with its
own set of issues, though, and this often precludes a lot of out of work talent in the US from
finding work by these means.
Again, this means that a lot more niche marketplaces will start to spring up. Back in March,
I spoke with Ross Kimbrovsky and
Mike Samson of CrowdSPRING, founders of a specialized marketplace for design. In the
conversations I had with them, they admitted the problem that international marketplaces often
had, but explained to me checks and balances set up both in the mechanics and dynamics of the
community that create an equal playing field for all market participants while still allowing for
affordable quality design.
My guess is that if the overall economy continues to shift much further downward (and stay there
a while), these are the types of marketplaces we’ll start to see spring up and gain
traction.
That’s Not All, Folks…
This isn’t an exhaustive list, but just an example of a few existing sectors and growth
areas in our industry that’ll see some positive numbers in a down economy. I’m sure
you can think of even more.
Given the fact that everyone has been morosely plodding through the week and seeing nothing but
desparation for the future, I figured that another does of sunshine might be in order.
 I think that our business, that is the so-called Web 2.0 and Social Media business,
is probably most suited to make it through tough times unscathed as compared to the rest of the
economy.
We’ve fortunately made it past our tipping point. The world knows that they need to be on
the Internet, they know they can use it to efficiently connect to new and existing customers
(something they’ll be wanting to do more than ever, soon), and we have ironed out the ways
to do it. Â Look at this as our distribution phase. We’ve been innovating for
quite a while on the technology side, now we’ll be turning our attention on innovating and
making more efficient the business side.

Integrated GPS on a

writes... So, I wanted to add a GPS receiver to my Mini 9, but I didn't want to have to use a

so that's what I decided to do...
Interesting, I wonder if this maker's project will end up being standard issue in the next round
of netbooks/ultraportables.

Dancing With the Stars' Cheryl Burke has been getting a little porky lately, so she's
doing what any responsible professional dancer would do: She's crying to the media about how
everyone should be okay with it. According to People
magazine: When bloggers called out Cheryl Burke for putting on a few pounds, the Dancing with the
Stars pro fought back. But what upset her most, she says, is the unhealthy body image issues
promoted by such stories. “I want kids or women out there to realize you don’t have to
be anorexic to be beautiful,” the two-time Dancing champ tells PEOPLE exclusively.
“There’s a lot of pressure living this Hollywood life. People expect to see you at a
certain weight and when you gain a few pounds then all of a sudden it’s the talk of the
week.” Whatever, fatty. If you weren't packing on pounds yourself, you'd be pushing your nose
up with your thumb and making "oink, oink" noises at every chick who doesn't blow away in a stiff
breeze. You're getting paid to stay in shape, so put down the damn donut and hit the treadmill.
Unless you want your next TV gig to be on the evening news. In a breaking report about the woman
who had to be airlifted to the hospital to have a turkey drumstick surgically removed from the
folds in her gut.
Austrian politician Joerg Haider, whose far-right rhetoric at times cast a negative light on the

CNN: Rage rising on the McCain
campaign trail — (CNN) — With recent polls showing Sen.
Barack Obama's lead increasing nationwide and in several GOP-leaning states, some Republicans
attending McCain-Palin campaign rallies have taken on a new emotion: Rage. —

Earlier this week I took a leisurely stroll through the halls of Tokyo Game Show videoing the
goings-on of booths, their babes and the people who love them. Today it wasn't so leisurely. The
mass of attendees tore through the hall shaking the will of smiling booth companions who still,
despite the hardships, managed to keep those smile from going upside down. I wouldn't suggest
watching if you weren't a fan of Cloverfield... or getting immensely motion sick.
For a game that's been dated Christmas 2008, it's odd that White Knight
Chronicles is not playable on the Tokyo Game Show floor. Even odder because the game
was playable last year. When asked why the game wasn't in playable form at TGS, a Sony rep
declined to comment. Isn't it unusual for a title to be playable one year and unable the year it's
getting release?
Developer Level-5 hasn't exactly been open about the game. During the White Knight
ChroniclesPowerpoint event yesterday, the game's producer, Kentaro Motomura, remained tight
lipped on key online modes like whether there will be voice chat or not. The game is
supposed to be out in 2 and a half months.

declined to comment. Isn't it unusual for a title to be playable one year and unable the year it's
getting release?
