  1. Build top-100
  2. Pull stats:
    • Alexa rank
    • Reading level [lifetime, last 30 days]
  3. Compute stats:
    • Posting rate [lifetime, last 30 days]
    • Words, images, comment per post
    • Classification (sector>industry)

Now me! [http://___]

Target Audience:

  • Advertising agency on a budget, looking for an easy way to find similar targets on which to advertise.
  • Do-it-yourself blog operators

What is my value-add?
>> classification; similarity; text processing

Who cares?
>> Startups, starter blogs.

Can they pay? No.

But why pay for the data plan? Why not convert your data to be sent as “text”? If one were to implement the tcp protocol over SMS, they could avoid paying for the data plan. Of course, you’ll need a smart enough phone that could collect these text messages and recompose them back into their original form. Further, the load on the carriers would be much greater, but who cares about those greedy scoundrels.
