Thesis: Bloggers are Narcissists
Everyone (like me) who have a blog must be suffering from some kind of neo Narcissism – since they wanna publish their life and probobly use quite some time polishing thier egos and tracking how they perform. THEREFOR there must be quite a business oppertunity in make a nice and simple stat tool – that will be the MIRROR for bloggers to enjoy their impact. (Im far out here – but it was on my mind – so I had to dump it).
Conclusion:
Performancing Alpha Site | Helping Bloggers Succeed will be very succesfull. Nick is a brigth nut.
Take a look at MeasureMap (http://www.measuremap.com/), recently acquired by – you guessed it – Google.

Another one would be Shaun Inman’s

The design is very cool. The App is – hmmmmm – not a killer. Still; simple and useful – for the average blogger.
Commercially it’s not as successful as Measure Map; it hasn’t been “web-2.0-purchased” by yahoo or Google. But I’m sure Shaun has sold quite a few licenses. Measure Map (well, Adaptive Path) never sold a single license since it was purchased before it ever came out of Beta.
