The WWW paradigm is under serious attack from two directions.
The first I've written extensively about "bot WMDs"
And the second is more illusive but just as serious.
I have 3 manual scanners and automated scanners just
for links on a web page, black and white lists and herutistic
and sig scanning.
Do you get the feeling I don't trust links,
Will the text ad take you to a page with
trojans and exploits?
If Trust in the WWW fails,
it is going to color Googles bottom line RED.
The security on the Internet , and for surfing
Conflicker has over 15,000,000 Zombie PCs.
Just from lack of updating Micro Soft's
updates. Is it a WMD?
At what point does the public quit clicking?
Great articled on future of advertizing and
montizing content. HERE.
The loss of security and confidence in the web
bodes a potentia disaster for the Google model
and growth of the web.
I anticipate a fall off in the click ratios, as security
Welcome to Internet 2.0: More surveillance, less security.
