Lebron James: Large and in charge
2009-10-15 05:34:00 LeBron James (center) with St. Vincent-St. Mary basketball team, as seen in "More Than a Game." Lionsgate photoBy Matt PaisMetromixLeBron James is practically overflowing with confidence. You can't really blame him.The 24-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers star has been the NBA MVP. He almost has more endorsement deals--Nike, Sprite, Vitamin Water to name a few--than there are products to endorse. He has shown an ability to laugh at himself while hosting "Saturday Night Live" and ESPN's ESPY Awards. He was labeled as "The Chosen One" on the cover of Sports Illustrated while still in high school. He has met, he says, nearly everyone he's ever wanted to meet--including Michael Jordan, President Obama and Oprah--and "I wasn't too nervous at all."Of course, every...

Should Social Media Charge For Content?
2009-09-08 09:42:00 Social media monetization is a debate that has now existed forever. With increasing number of people getting on the social networking bandwagon, it becomes extremely important for the companies in social media such as Facebook, Orkut, Twitter and the rest to devise means to monetize this traffic when the time is right. Monetizing through advertisements is not the solution. This is because, with increasing number of page views reported, more and more social media companies taking to advertising is going to skew the supply-demand ratio there by affecting the revenues publishers make on a CPM basis. So, what’s the way forward? Twitter has shown an intent to solve half of this puzzle when it has categorically said that the company shall not look at advertisements as part of revenues. Instead, they shall be offering advanced tools to businesses to get additional mileage out of their Twitter accounts. That’s a fair strategy and we will see how effective that shall be moving o...

Tata Indicom To Charge Flat Charge Per Call. Is This A Risky Strategy?
2009-09-02 13:57:00 Tata Teleservices has been on an agressive footing in the past few months. First, they made an aggressive foray into the GSM segment to launch Tata Docomo. They caught the imagination of the target audience with a revolutionary pay-as-you-use pricing scheme backed by a terrific marketing campaign. Now, TTSL have gotten back to the drawing board to make Tata Indicom equally attractive. According to a new announcement, Tata Indicom subscribers will now only have to pay a flat Re.1 for every local call and a flat Rs.3 for every STD call. That is regardless of how long you talk. A first look at this will make it look like an extremely bold and risky move. But do you think it will make TTSL bleed? In one word, NO. Firstly, it does not cost telecom companies more if people are going to talk for a longer period. Operators work on fixed bandwidth, and with more people calling, you will have more of those “This network is busy. Try after sometime” messages. But it does not matte...
