I'm in Monaco now, at the Imagina 2005 conference. Since, unexpectedly, the language used is French, I decided to take out my UMTS enabled notebook and surf away looking out over a sunny Mediterranean Sea... Then I read this post by John Barlow who had some experiences while travelling that made him realize the world is a very small place. Sitting here, it's difficult not to agree.
"Anyway, I feel as if the Global Village became real to me that night, and, indeed, it has become the Global Dinner Party. All at once. The small world has become the intimate world."

Sell side advertising
I've posted before on this interesting concept, advertisers should look at it if they want to understand what their future might look like.
"There will come a time, and not so long from now, when advertisers will just post their ads, plus some data about them, and how they want them to perform, and how much they are willing to pay for leads generated by them, and the net will do the rest."

Free porn
The way the internet, more specifically search engines, work... I'm sure it will do the trick here on yme.nl as well...
"Two years ago, PC Mag tech columnist John Dvorak wrote a piece entitled "Free porn", to prove that merely including those words in an article would massively increase the traffic for that piece -- since pornhounds regularly search for that phrase and will click on anything that seems to point to that promised land. Apparently, it worked. Two years later, that column has remained on the most-read list of articles at PC Mag's site."

Off topic
But I just liked the idea, and I paid my 10 dollars.....;-).
"The deal is you send the Time Travel Fund $10.00 and they will invest part of the money until time travel is possible. When time travel is possible - say in 500 or 1000 years - they will use the money to bring you to the future. The site has financial calculations that show that $1 invested today at 5% will be worth $39 billion in 500 years, so there will be plenty of money to make this happen."

Long Tail TV
Wish I was in the TV business. Must be great. Why? Because there's going to be a bigger audience then ever thanks to new distribution mechanisms that allow us to bring TV content to many niches. And many niches = masses. It's called Long Tail TV.
"If today I watch CSI Miami, but on my weekends go out hang gliding and am a huge hangliding fan, when the California hang gliding championships end up being broadcast through a microcontent platform I will end up watching that instead of CSI."

Finding cybersex
Spending most of your time behind a screen is one thing, having sex through that interface is something else...
"Role-playing games attract people with strong imaginations and the ability to evolve a fantasy over a long period of time. And even online, there's nothing solitary about an RPG. To make the fantasy complete, you must interact with others in a shared adventure of the mind."
