Delivering real value in today’s economy – electronically.

Over the years, this site has tracked the evolution of E-Commerce from new technology to mainstream business component – with all the hype and despair along the way.  Over time the emphasis of this site has also shifted, from initially publishing the early commerce players and emerging issues to tracking the business models that worked and didn’t.  The emphasis going into 2004 is on the emergence of distributed commerce models.

 Background on Distributed Commerce:

Many early writings on the concept of delivering business value through a network of loose partnerships focused on the concept of syndication.  Borrowed from the media concept of independent production and distribution, syndication has emerged as a fundamental concept in the post-boom reality of online business.

Early writings on syndication, such as http://www.edventure.com/conversation/article.cfm?Counter=125457 can be found at Esther Dyson's "Release 1.0" at www.edventure.com

In May 2000, Kevin Werbach published "Syndication, The Emerging Model for Business in the Internet Era, available at  http://www.edventure.com/conversation/article.cfm?Counter=125457

Soon, the concept of Web Scraping emerged, summarized at http://mini.net/tcl/2915 as "the practice of getting information from a web page and reformatting it".  One can use tools such as http://Sitescooper.org/ or commercial services such as http://www.Sitescraper.co.uk

And then Web Services.  There are many backgrounders on the technology, including that from one of the founding technology companies, IBM, at The developerWorks WS Zone, including articles and tutorials.
