The Problem With Just Audiences

March 12th, 2006

While there are elements of truth in this wonderful post, the problem is that simply an audeince, without a performance, is just a group of people who eventually disperse.

To some extent the audiences of the future develop a portion of the performance. But without a potential promise, the presence of an audience isn't enough to add sustaining value to the performance.

Without a potential promise there is no sustaining value. Without a sustaining value the audience disperses - in search of another performance that holds a potential promise.

Without an audience Ryan Seacrest is simply a guy with a really big smile. Your job is not to smile, but to ensure that the potential promise is always visible to your audience.

MySpace has a performance. The potential benefit offered to users of MySpace is the performance.

Without properly managing the site to continue to create the potential of possible benefit the audience quickly becomes a crowd that disperses.

It's the management of the performance (MySpace's promise of potential benefit) that is an element of the sustainable business model.
