SOFTWARE products are more colorful and functionally superior compared to the internet. yet the internet is easier to use. probably there are more internet users than software customers. that’s the “valleylist” hypothesis. a look at the top 10 software companies should help solve the riddle.
software surprises
- – - – adobe didn’t make it to the top 10
- – - – videogames are big in the software business
- – - – consumers can’t get rid of microsoft no matter how they try
- – - – where’s the competition?

computer software is a creative endeavor requiring the collaboration of thousands of knowledge workers. software is prone to needing lots of customer service. pioneer bill gates made “time to market clean up the problems later” the industry standard. microsoft continues to out shine the other consumer software companies. videogame companies demonstrate astonishing revenue growth with nintendo hitting it big again after super mario and new game consoles. first run at top 10 software companies based on 2008 revenue is a good starting point. microsoft clocks in at the last minute with virtual game interface kinect and a new version of the xbox. latest games at e3 expo june 17 2010 los angeles.
it’s likely that software companies have more clients world wide than internet companies. this is because all devices including cell phones and game consoles need an operating system and application software. “valleylist” says it’s around 1.9 billion software customers world wide. industry estimates say around 31% of the population uses software of some kind.
let’s rock. myspace pop culture reengineering started with plans to go after a new market. first step implement game lab. other fall out from the facebook crusade simplify myspace privacy settings. facebook scores big in a deal to improve yahoo member pages with facebook content. around the same time twitter accepts paid advertisering and just this week buys a web analytics firm. internet companies need to avoid dealing with numbers crunched by competing services like google analytics. somewhere in the midst of the latest war google launches their own internet social group buzz. internet social groups found phenomenal success integrating with the big search companies. need to reach the dalai lama? google search results include a link to the right twitter account. msn serves up links to dalai lama facebook and twitter with their news search results. internet social groups have also found phenomenal success integrating with newspapers and magazines by including a specific link to important articles and people when mentioned. for example billboard magazine links every important artist to the reader’s choice of myspace facebook twitter or buzz. publishers get extra value from providing readers with easy access to fun and interesting social group activity.
myspace already the largest reaches over 500 million members world wide. their strategy involves leveraging their very popular music and video free download services. end result is lots of fun pop culture to make sure their members don’t run off to the competition.
popular products through pop culture reengineering.
11 years ago somebody promised america a bad deal. rationale? if it happened to tom harley or tom ridge then it should happen to everybody. they even signed up other lunatics like retired statesman willie brown to preach their gospel of hatred. after a day or two they declared themselves the winner and tried to ”take” 20% off the top. they want want a 3-way world wide tie. the ridiculous rationale is “they handle important business for the government”. so do millions of other federal employees. in the meantime fbi special agent mueller continues to insist the government index hair salons. let sf hair salons do the business. forget the secret service. eliminate people for no reason. block out the legal case with the “same people” con game. gimme what i want.
tomtomorrow says the wanks areadly ruined everything and now “i’m your favorite hollogram“. the nsa says ”law enforcement needs to do more than ruin and arrest people”.
cancel their contract on america .
their final parlay looks like the scifi channel series thriller “war of the worlds” from erielly enough 11 years ago. the series features only a few characters set in a dark background endlessly spinning around plotting ways to overthrow the government. this leads to world domination. they seek an evil 3-way tie as the new world government.
the rules for the new society are – - no help. you can’t be alone. i get what i want don’t i. i do what i feel like doing to people. if you don’t walk away . . . and don’t stay in.
send this group of people into outer space says “valleylist”. their philosophy and logo showed up just recently mass marketed as suprememastertv.com.
the cover for their mad cap scheme is they are doing a hate crime project. they even have a hostage. “valleylist” put everybody’s name on a list.
the magical mystery tour clicks along selling nike soccer gear thanks to the “write the future” ad campaign and the black and white billboard high above union square. next up “valleylist” picks up the fun and non-confrontational subject of fun with numbers.
the objective is to list all the technology and content used in the 21st century’s multi-media world and rank order high tech products by world wide acceptance. the first run at the numbers suggests television of all things is the most widely used technology and media ever. the numbers will be kept up to date at the “valleylist” syndication site.
completing this important analysis is one of the objectives of the “valleylist” high tech product initiative. data collected and analyzed will be used to rank order 21st century technology and media.
planned new titles and sponsorship for computing looks like this
1. cellphones [completed]
2. computers [completed]
3. internet [completed]
4. software [thursday 6.17.2010] <- – - – current version

obviously there’s not enough time in the world to complete the entire project. the “valleylist” approach is to go after a top line analysis and continue work on indexing each classification.
“valleylist” concludes the world is doomed. if the idiots ever get their hands on silicon valley and then find their way into public office all is lost. instead it’s republican gubenatorial candidate meg whitman from ebay and the republican candidate for senate carly fiorina from hp making the move into politics. big high tech wins in the primaries. all “valleylist” wanted was a high tech mayor for the city of san jose . instead they got “hood of the century” chuck reed who still thinks selling out the country to the “hood” is a good idea.
i started selling out over a year ago and it’s the organic deal that’s really bringing “valleylist” out of the woods and into the real world. next thing you know i’ll be competing with other media.
right now it’s “valleylist” 5 million readers a week and big wins with concept and content syndication.
black and white looks good.

free app day corrections were needed because yet again there are odd paraniod creatures lurking in the yahoo email.
this is the same week i had to call the police because my backpack was stolen here in san francisco. the police are funny. first they tried to suggest i not file charges and then they sent me to the “phoney” police. i had to come back the next day and file charges with the real police.
my high standards of journalism are attracting attention from lunatics like willie brown and his gang of former law enforcement thugs who continue to pretend everybody should do what they tell them to do.
why were they all fired from law enforcement and politics anyway?
