You imply that adding monetization weakens the product. That's not always true; Google's search ads are a great example where the results are enhanced via the monetization. Even in cases where the product is diminished, that effect is not necessarily enough to drive away your audience. Especially if you have strong network effects in play.
- ivankirigin 19y agoTrue, I made a blanket statement. Network effects can keep a product strong. But it doesn't make you money. "Get Eyeballs" can't possibly be all of it.
- aston 19y agoAt the moment, it's the best anyone in web 2.0's got. I agree, though, I'll reserve my jubilation for when I see a billion-dollars-in-revenue web 2.0 company appear.
