Hello!

You've landed in the archive of the Cambrian House community. We've kept some pages here for posterity but the community is no longer active. Now we market the technology that made our early crowdsourcing a success.

Can we help you get to Cambrian House the company? – Come on over.

Are you seeking crowdsourcing technology? – Check out Chaordix by Cambrian House.

Thanks for dropping by

The Idea

Flip the advertising world end over end by selling banner ad-sized content that brings game players into (and out of) the advertising websites. The current model of web ads has companies paying money to place "signs" on other pages' content, in hopes that someone will see them, read them and click on them. Then, and only then, will someone see the site based on their ad. As far as cost goes, the larger the ad (more content shown) and the greater likelyhood of someone going to the site (different pay models and site popularity) drive ad pricing higher. My idea provides a guaranteed click-thru, as the game content is located on the advertiser's page. It also maximizes advertiser content, since the entire page is that of the advertiser, except the room of an advertisement (this is the area of the gameboard). Leaving the gameboard via a side would take you to another page at a different site hosting a gameboard. Players on the same page could interact and share notes on cool sites.

I thought of this idea when I was...

Contemplating whether casual gamers and Massive Multiplayer Online games were mutually exclusive and pondering the fact that currently, browsers may let you "Navigate" or "Explore" the web, but you're not really "Browsing", as you're intentionally following links that you find interesting. If you are truly browsing in a store, you're likely to come across cool and intriguing items in nooks and crannies that you wouldn't have intentionally foraged into. My idea facilitates actual "Browsing" of the Internet by taking you to pages that host the game content, even though you're not seeking out that site specifically.
