@kpopper ah, but blur will be back again. next reunion, right? no worries :)
perhaps, @t_armstrong. but for a more nuanced take on the "free" debate: http://www.techdirt.com/article...
no link to my post. Zeroed in exactly on "does little to suggest how you actually apply them."Wow, I had not even read that post! - Valeria Maltoni
valeria: I haven't forgotten your post :) - Taylor Davidson
I was joking - meant in TechDirt. You gave me some good food for thought in your post, which I just streamed here... - Valeria Maltoni
all good. I actually read your post first of all of them :) - Taylor Davidson

"To continue to add a layer, add mass-market v. niche appeal; in today's culture, it makes financial sense (because of audience and revenue) for media outlets to adopt polarized positions because they are easier and simpler to spread. Niches are where the web shows its true power, aggregating people across boundaries impossible in different media economic structures. Free isn't a ubiquitous strategy (for example, Twitter and Facebook have vastly different cost structures [think pictures, video and expensive, rich media] and thus "free" should be applied very differently), nor is it the right strategy for all industry cycles or product growth / maturation curves; the real need right now is less theory. Debating whether it's right or wrong kinda misses the point about what to do about it (thus Maltoni's and Masnik's posts). But some part of me hopes that culture adopts to new economic opportunities to allow mass-market media to take a more nuanced approach. Yes, call me naive and..." - Taylor Davidson

@freecloud thanks for the pointer to @LloydDavis and #tuttle this morning, great way to spend a morning in the park
Can nuanced discourse compete against “strategy by soundbite” under today's economics? http://www.taylordavidson.com/writing... (I'm naively hopeful)
Can nuanced discourse compete against “strategy by soundbite”? - http://www.taylordavidson.com/writing...
the "free" debate = strategy by soundbite; move past the polarized positions and embrace the nuanced reality.
@ryanbooth great point :) biggest isn't the important part; maximizing potential within your targeted opp. is :)
@KLBarber great. hopefully will see you tomorrow at #tuttle
@ryanbooth perhaps, but there are many ways to succeed without being the "biggest".
