There is no Pulitzer prize for web content.

I am not talking about an award with the same prestige — web content might be a wee bit too young for that. I am speaking about context. There is no body on the web that celebrates exceptional content, not necessarily journalism but the type of content that moves society forward and changes our perspective on the world.

How do you effectively price your services?

Charge too much and you will scare potential customers off. Don’t charge enough and you will lose out on revenue and possibly lose customers who believe that cut rate prices mean cut rate service.

A few weeks I ago I sat down for an interview with Jun Loayza, one of the founders of Viralogy — a Social Media tracking tool. He’s one clever guy, with an impressive amount of drive so when he pitched me the idea of putting together a group of bloggers to discuss business topics from the perspective of Generation Y, I figured — why not. Enter an experiment that we’re calling, “Viraology Experts.” Instead of trying to explain it myself, I’m going to turn it over to Jun.

We all want to do a little good. Fix something; build something; change something.

We all want to. Some people go out and do.

Today I spoke to Eileen Corrigan (@ecorrigan), whose helping to bring non-profits onto the web, guiding through the often murky process of using the Internet to effectively convey their message. She’s doing this through her new web design firm specifically geared towards non-profit’s needs, Do Good Web.

But you’re an entrepreneur and you realize that focus is finite. Every single day you are trading your time in for the hope that whatever project you are currently working on will be worth the effort. You’re giving up all of the other fantastic ideas swimming around in your skull for a bet — the bet that this project is the one that will make it or at the very least it will lead you to The One.

I spend a lot of time with the Internet. I live it, I breathe it, I bet there is an alternate reality where it helps me solve groovy mysteries with the help of an electric van and plucky dog.

But I digress.

I spend a lot of time with the Internet and because of that I hear more than my share of stories about how older paradigms are dying and being replaced by shiny, new web-based ones.

There is something you might not know about me that’s relevant to this week’s podcast — I used to write really bad fiction. We’re talking really bad, with headless aliens and pink flamingos and magical, flying marmosets sort of stuff. Well because of my illustrious literary career, I have a softspot for writers doing interesting things. Nancy Brauer is one of those writers. She is working with friend Vanessa Brooks on a serialized Sci-Fi novel called Strange Little Band.
