Bookings is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as the total amount of revenue from the sale of virtual goods in our online games and from advertising that would have been recognized in a period if we recognized all revenue immediately at the time of the sale. We record the sale of virtual goods as deferred revenue and then recognize that revenue over the estimated average life of the purchased virtual goods or as the virtual goods are consumed. Advertising revenue consisting of certain branded virtual goods and sponsorships is also deferred and recognized over the estimated average life of the branded virtual good, similar to online game revenue. Bookings is calculated as revenue recognized in a period plus the change in deferred revenue during the period.

Soziale Netzwerke als Geschäftsmodell im Internet

Genau das ist der Titel (bzw. Teil des Titels) meine Diplomarbeit. Und genau deshalb werde ich bis Ende 2008 nicht wirklich viel mehr hier schreiben können.

Die Arbeit wird sicherlich nach Abgabe in Teilen in meinem Blog verwurstet :)

Die Arbeit soll die Frage klären, wie (bzw. ob) Soziale Netzwerke (Social Networks) als Geschäftsmodell im Internet funktionieren können. Welche Erlösmodelle bietet das Geschäftsmodell an? Welchen Wert hat eigentlich ein soziales Netzwerk? Kann es überhaupt monetarisiert werden (Was sind die Treiber bei der Monetarisierung)? Und: Was ist ein „Soziales Netzwerk“ überhaupt :)

Wo ist das Bindeglied zwischen dem Wert für den Kunden und dem Wert für den Betreiber (Unternehmen)?
