Competitive Environment
Competitor Categories
Advertisers & Marketers
Advertisers and marketers rely upon the difficulty in connecting producers with potential customers. StratML-enabled services hold the potential to revolutionize the advertizing and marketing paradigm and thus constitute a threat to the incumbents.
Competitors
As Mark Zuckerberg told an ill-informed U.S. senator, Facebook relies upon advertizing revenue. If new and better means emerge to connect customers to products and services they desire, Facebook's business model may be at risk of creative destruction as advertizers turn to more open, nonproprietary means of attracting business.
Google's business proposition relies upon the inefficiency of others, in posting immature, unstructured information on the Web. If the Web were populated with valid XML instance documents, much of Google's competitive advantage would disappear as new and better discovery services emerge.
