from your online life and makes them tangible.

WE LIKE TO REMEMBER
-What we have been doing.
-Who we have been doing it with.
-When we have been doing it.
-Where we have been.
-Why we have been doing it.
Diaries capture this information if we input it.
Our online lives do it as a matter of course.

SO...

21. 21
HOW IS MONEY MADE?
-Advertising in-publication;
-Keywords ensure relevancy.
-Contra-deals with Lulu/ Moleskine;
-Only overheads are website/ software;
-Sell printed versions for profit.

22. 22
IS IT WORTH PURSUING?
-Has it been done before?
-Are all the APIs available?
-How intuitive is it?
-How do we design intuition?
-Is it done once, annually?
-Is it done weekly?
-Is it done automatically?

23. 23
ONE THING IS FOR SURE
-With 75 million Twitter users;
-With more than 400 million Facebook users;
-With 1 million Foursquare downloads;
-With 72% of people online using Social Networks;
-With more people than ever sharing things socially;
-There is a target market.

24. 24
NEXT STEPS
-Bin it quickly if I’ve missed something.
-Figure out who it’s for.
-What team works on it?
-Who leads it?
-Timescales.
