If your thesis is correct, the optimal strategy for us would be to sell when the prices are very high (like they are now) i.e collect the next 50 years of "rent" right now, because it is so readily available. Instead, we continually and steadily improve the product (while clearly acknowledging that we have much work to do). Don't you think that is an awful rent seeking strategy?
- flyinRyan 13y agoIt's amusing that you're defensive on this subject. Someone accused you of something, then another commenter said the described strategy was actually that of a well managed company. I explained the described strategy was very nearly rent seeking. So even though the thread started about your company, it became more general and that's when I stepped in. I wasn't talking about your company specifically because I don't even know what you do. But the fact that you're defensive enough to take my comment as an attack makes me wonder if the OP was actually close to the mark. :)
- sridharvembu 13y agoNo I didn't think you accused us of that. I merely responded what we would do as a rent seeker :) As for the original accusations, "develop a thick skin" is my attitude, so you saw I never bothered to respond.
- flyinRyan 13y agoFair enough.
- hackermann 13y agoFirst things first. None of them were accusations, as I know Zoho for sometime now. All of them are facts. Also you are not liable to reply as you are anyway a millionaire and why should you care others who come to you looking for cheap software alternatives. Sure you have a thick skin to say that you are continuously evolving even after 15 years and no innovation or patents.
