How much will you pay for Google Reader per month?
- arindone 14y agoIt's an irrelevant question -- when you work on the scale that Google does and have the data that they can analyze, it's easy to make the business case that it is either a good business product or not worth the time. It's easy to make a survey and petition and whatnot, but power users are always the minority (the long tail) and do not drive a business alone. Especially one where the engineers supporting any product are paid six-figures a piece and the product is not directly monetized (i.e. you're not paying for it, you're not hosting the data, etc.)
- raywu 14y agoI agree that power users don't drive the business (you put it very nicely). But what is the bottom line (how many six-figures engineers), and it troubles me to not see Google try and find a market for this product.
