NEW YORK, NY - Hat tip to Frank Schilling for catching this: Viacom's CEO, Philippe Dauman, met with Google executives yesterday. You might recall that Viacom sued last year for alleged copyright violations on YouTube. Here's what caught Frank's eye...

To which Frank blogged, "Not hundreds of sites Mr. Dauman. Millions of small microsites built across tens of millions of domain names."
Can that be? Well, I just checked: I have 175 RSS feeds in my Bloglines feedreader. I had no idea it was that many. Earlier tonight I was setting a taxonomy, or viewing system, for them:
- 10 domaining blogs
- 32 recruiting blogs
- 14 HR blogs
- 36 marketing blogs
- etc.
And who knows how many static sites I have bookmarked? Hundreds more. And I have several thousand resumes and other files on my hard drive -- all of which my Copernic toolbar has spidered.
Plus I use Gmail. There are 6500 email messages archived there.
And Gmail is going to start offering 5G of
email storage. Three questions:
- How much information do you think I consume?
- How much do you think Google knows about me?
- How many people could say the same things about themselves?
I'm average. Maybe a little above in terms of my information consumption. But Frank is absolutely right that there will be tens of millions of microsites. One for every person, perhaps. And then some.
I simply cannot see it any other way.
