I don't understand this post at all. The reason no one has built a monopoly around lists is that they are a ridiculously cheap commodity, both for the personal and network use cases.
- pbreit 11y agoRead like an Onion article to me.
- callmeed 11y agosure but you could say the same thing about tweets or 1-5 star restaurant reviews
- freshhawk 11y agoWhich both need significant network effects to be useful to people. How does the list making app get exponentially better the more people are using it?
- dirtyaura 11y agoAs is obvious from the post, Fred meant a list services that are used to publish lists for others to consume. Lists like the MacRumours' Buyer's code mentioned in the top comment. http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ There's an obvious network effect: producers and consumers, more of each makes the service better, if producers get something as a return, even if it is just silly internet karma points.
- cballard 11y agoYeah, the Apple Notes app is a perfectly sufficient app for making most lists, and it automatically syncs to all of your devices. That's just one fantastic free option.
