I invented a design for automatic money, to make new business models feasible, including selling digital content at low prices. The key innovation is letting online financial accounts reproduce (creating children accounts, grandchildren, and family trees), and inherit services and other options that successive owners can change -- allowing accounts to evolve through grassroots, practical use. Accounts can be born as packages of financial and other services, including automatic transactions that happen with no human attention.

For example, smart URLs (accounts) will allow anyone to sponsor online content, by purchasing prepaid downloads in bulk. Sponsors can add their own recognition, advertising, political, or other messages, and target these messages through social networks instead of through search. End users will just click to download free -- instantly paying the artists. The URLs will sell sponsorships in each user's choice among many different languages. And they can propagate indefinitely in social networks, accumulating paid sponsorships as long as they can find public interest.

I published details of this design rights-free for open-source or commercial development, at www.smart-accounts.org -- and would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on the project.

What parts of the mundane, everyday routine of life inspire you to create web apps that are anything but mundane and routine?

Back in January 2002 I wrote an article about Blogger and blogs, back when blogging was new-ish. Now I tweet.

What's next?

btw, there's an anonymous "guest" over at CurbedSF, saying mean things about Twitter, its lack of success and its staff.(comment #8)

Sounds like someone with a dull ax. What would you like say to him?

Ev, one more from me: from all the stuff you learned the hard way via Blogger and Twitter, if you had a Delorian to transport back 10 years and could tell yourself one thing, what would it be?

I hate to add to the questions about start-ups and all that, but oh well, here it is:

I have an idea for a web service that I know would be successful, and I would love to make it happen. I'm not, however, a developer by any means. How would you recommend that someone in that position, who cannot create the site themselves, attempt to create such a site?

You've mentioned Millenium as a Twitter staff favorite. Just curious if you're vegan (they're rare, you know).

Hi Ev,

I've been following you since pre-Google Blogger. I'd like to know your thoughts on how blogging has changed over the years, especially given your experience with Blogger when it started and now with Twitter.

Make it a great day!

Whats the number one threat to the success of Twitter?

Looking forward is more interesting than looking back, because it puts you in the same boat as the people trying to apply your experience to their own situation. So generally, I'd like to hear some more predictions.

Hey Ev

We met once, at foo camp I think. I've read your blog for a bit now. I like it shortness. I might like it with some long-ness, but we'll see.

Here's a question for you:

We've been quietly working on a website project for a few months. An beta group of a few hundred users has really gotten into it and now we want to share it with a lot more people. What should we do?

Also, how many times have you been to the bathroom in your entire life?

2007-11-01T09:02:00.000-07:00

Hey Ev,

Dang it! Half the questions I want to ask have been asked already, so I guess that leaves me to this question:

Now that Google has bought out Jaiku, how to you plan on beefing up Twitter to handle the competition from not only the 800 pound Gorilla, but from copy cat clones as well?

PS

My next question is, would you consider keeping the comment box open on your blog?

What motivates you to work/keep building products?...

What motivates you to work/keep building products? (i.e. since you don't need to work no more with the blogger sale).

You want to write more? Write about how you've met your wife. That's more interesting than all this start-up mambo-jumbo.

2007-11-01T07:55:00.000-07:00

Ev,

I'd like to expand on Geo's question. We're currently building a SaaS company in Omaha. Andreessen says if you want to do technology in the US, you need to be in the Valley. I've challenged this in a post here http://heartofmatters.wordpress.com/2007/10/27/a-startup-saas-company-in-omaha-and-pmarca/, and I'd love to know what you think. Would you ever come back to NE and start a new company here?

articulate : adj. 1. Endowed with the power of speech.

We wouldn't like to write so much. Also, we wouldn't like to read much more. Our eyes feel tired, you know. But we'd like to SPEAK more. So, what about an "odeo-twitter"?

In 10 sec. we can tell much more than in 140 characters. It's the same feeling with SMS, sometimes I hate to write SMS and I'd like to use my phone as a walky-talky.

I mean the possibilty to post audio twits, "mini-podcasting". What do you think?
