I was surfing aimlessly and came across this video from the Most Powerful Women's summit.
Huffington concludes with the observation that the business opportunity on the net lies not in the content but the advertisement piggybacking on it, unless the content is wierd porn.
I find myself in agreement, not because of the rider, and I myself have hardly ever paid for any content on the Internet as a consumer. On a related note, Padmasree Warrior adds that folks pay for content when it served personalized to them. Point in case, Motorola selling ring tones (a couple of lines from a song) for two dollars (!) which has turned out to be a five billion dollar business. And the same folks wouldn't pay 99 cents for the whole song from itunes etc.
No wonder Googles revenues scorns at the maxim: What goes up must come down. What with all that advertising money rolling in!
