Cyberspace Real Estate

The Doors of Virtualization

The title should not mislead you!Real Estate has always been a dirty game in India.No we don't need the Mafia, nor do we need any under the table, shoved in ur crotch bribes!(Trust me..i know!).But with the internet becoming increasing wide, deep and content driven, it seems very clear to me that there is going to be a very vibrant Virtual Real Estate Market in the near future.

Soon your profile pages, social networking features, email,

video conferencing, information and other communication, everything will be integrated onto one screen shot.This will be your window to the world.Hopefully we can call it The Doors(a little bigger, and more expensive? than Windows!)

The benefits of these are very, very large.The only BIG negative people are telling me, is they will become couch potatoes(Like they aren't already!).I don't agree. It is a little like Freakonomics, for those who have read it.The more something is freely available, the lesser it will be misused.So the more freedom of living and earning off your online workstation you have, the lesser you will sit in front of it.This leads to EFFICIENCY and EFFECTIVENESS, two of the most important parameters in evolution of anything, including the human race, and quite obviously, the Internet.

So domains will become more and more pricey, especially those which generate great content and traffic.Soon online "Microwebs" will compete and strive to ward off competition.This is going to be very similar to Charles Darwins theory, but in an anarchic utopia like the internet, only natural systems can prevail.
