Beyond freemium: The Timebridge business model... →
The thing that I didn’t get at first, but Nelken clearly did, is that, “scheduling is our sales mechanism,” as he says. The feature of the service that I like—Timebridge’s capability to broker multiple proposed meeting times to multiple different people (for different meetings) all at once—is just the come-on. The business is the service’s resale of...

In more cautious hands, the freemium business model is one that can work well, and in this posting I’ll present three examples that show how it can work for SaaS providers serving the business market. Despite my uneasiness, freemium is a business model I’ve experienced for myself, having practised it with some success in a couple of website ventures. The trick is to strike the right mix,...

Goodbye Google | stopdesign →
When I joined Google as its first visual designer, the company was already seven years old. Seven years is a long time to run a company without a classically trained designer. Google had plenty of designers on staff then, but most of them had backgrounds in CS or HCI. And none of them were in high-up, respected leadership positions. Without a person at (or near) the helm who thoroughly...

The common link that ties those channels together is the fact that each channel has an individual consumer address (a parallel to the postal address used for DM). Every online consumer has an email address, their web browser will (usually) store a cookie for each site it visits, and most consumers have a...

It also finds that though more than half of America’s online population is between ages 18-44, larger percentages of older...
