Free if you act now!!!

In addition to wanting to stay connected with an old friend, there is another reason I read Fred Wilson's A VC blog. Fred's blog offers a prophetic glimpse into the future of technology and cutting edge discussion of business modeling and strategy. He's posted a couple of times on the topic of marketing internet content here and here. There are links to other bloggers who weigh in on the subject too, including Jason at Trickster! here. Jason once again picks an analogy on the subject that makes it easy for a guy who took longer than four years to finish his undergraduate degree to understand.

These are VERY smart guys. If you have any interest in the world of internet based business I would highly recommend taking a look.

Since the subject of downloadable musical content is something that is near and dear to me, I enjoy being able to stay tuned in to what the future may bring on this front, and offer my opinion from a consumer's persepctive when inspired to do so. This is the heart of what makes blogging so great. I recall having a conversation with Fred a year ago or so ago while in NYC and he became instantly animated when the topic of blogging came up and I clearly understand why. For the business he's in he get's to bounce around ideas with experts and consumers alike and get instant feedback. It is a completely inclusive forum and more of that is what we need.

Ta boot, it's free!!!
