Sounds funny ... until you'll watch Mike Wesch's latest presentation at Democracy Forum about the users of the web2 (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=709900 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=709900)
I think this change of the user base is backing up ideas and trends like the freemium business model.
- davi 17y agoGood link, thanks. I think this change of the user base is backing up ideas and trends like the freemium business model. -- So what are you saying the link is between Wesch's talk and freemium?
- csbartus 17y agoWesch talks in the same way about the changing user base: the web became the home of usual people instead of the elite. They take the web differently from the old users: for them everything is for free and for fun that's why you can't really charge.
