Sounds like sour grapes...and it's a bit ironic, considering (spun back off) AOL is going for this exact same strategy, even more so, with its Seed effort http://paidcontent.org/article/419-aols-armstrong-orders-up-...

It's fascinating/ironic that the original joint-stock companies were formed for seagoing trade: The East India Company (of England, later of the United Kingdom), sometimes referred to as "John Company", was one of the most famous joint-sto

I see what you're saying about it being unfair to call this selling data, but I can't help but look it at that way when they are charging $2500 dollars and up for tap. There is definitely a difference between being compensated for the time

I don't think this really is a case of the Streisand effect: The Streisand effect is an Internet phenomenon where an attempt to censor or remove a piece of information backfires, causing the information to be publicized widely and to a gre

It is really interesting to watch how things were concentrated for the first 6 to 7 months of the recession, and then we fell off the cliff last fall. This chart is another great way of seeing how that happened: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p

On that note, check the redesigned Engadget...not quite a 'magazine,' but edging in that direction... http://www.engadget.com/ (not in the sense that every post is designed differently, but in the way content is highlighted)

Google AdWords, if managed properly, does a very good job at this. Take his example: For example, let's say you're looking for new patio furniture. The words you might use to describe your needs would be useless for Google. You might say,

Thanks - those looks pretty nice, but we already have separate support ticketing/live support chat systems, all of which are integrated separately on their own into our app. We're just looking for a simple KB system like 68KB. I just wonder
