  I realise that was meant to be a joke, but that's exactly the sort of dramatic shift in sales and marketing tactics that might keep the major foundries relevant. Look at how many people have their own blog, or MySpace page, or otherwise have created a little world of their own design on the Web. Look at how successful iTunes and the like have been in selling music conveniently, reliably, and at a price that doesn't make someone who wants that music think twice and look for a free but illegal copy elsewhere. I don't think selling fonts very cheaply via these sorts of channels and/or partnering deals with the major social networking/blog services is such a crazy idea. Different, yes. Unknown, sure. But not crazy.
