Free is Fashionable, But Still, Beware of Free Lunches

January 22, 2010 by Tim Berry with 156 views

I’ve been thinking about this Free business a lot. There’s Chris Anderson’s book Free, and the debate around it. There’s free content everywhere. I find great free photos on Flickr. I read free blogs every day. It’s not like free is all that new. I grew up with free radio and television, funded by advertising. And the free prize... [read more]

All-Caps Shouting FREE! Is So Last Millennium.

October 9, 2009 by Tim Berry with 124 views

It’s not that I’m against free webinars. Just cool it with the shouting, all-caps, annoying FREE!. It’s not a differentiator. It’s not unusual. Lead with something else. You’re not Oprah giving every member of your audience a new car. You’re not giving away free meals, or even free coffee. You’re doing a webinar. They’re almost all... [read more]

What to charge for in a world of Free

October 5, 2009 by Becky McCray with 160 views

"Memorable experiences are the ultimate scarce commodity." That's what I scribbled while driving, listening to Chris Anderson's Free. The marginal cost of digital distribution is falling toward to cheap to measure, so it makes sense to offer many digital products for free. For example, the Audible copy of Free I was listening came... [read more]

Still No Free Lunch

Late last month, IAC Chairman Barry Diller said that it's "mythology" to view the Internet as a system of free communications. He’s absolutely right; what's wrong is why he'd even have to say it, or that it would merit any news coverage.We're going to look back at this decade and laugh, if we're not too horrified by the inanity of our...

Chris Anderson: Nothing’s free, sorry.

July 7, 2009 by Zane Safrit with 233 views

Chris Anderson, author of The Long Tail, has stirred the pot again with his book, Free. You can get a free copy here. (Thanks to Jay Ehret, TheMarketingGuy on Twitter.) Chris has stirred it with an egg-beater this time, enough for Malcolm Gladwell to chime in with an excellent rejoinder at the New Yorker: Priced to Sell. Chris. I don’t... [read more]

Would You Want It If It Were Free?

July 5, 2009 by Brad Feld with 175 views

The meme of “Free” is one again making the rounds. I expect it reignited when Chris Anderson’s new book Free: The Future of a Radical Price (available on Amazon for $17.81) quickly followed by Malcolm Gladwell’s semi-scathing review in the New Yorker titled “Priced to Sell.  Is Free the future?” (I kind of feel like Gladwell wimped...

Malcolm is wrong

I've never written those three words before, but he's never disagreed with Chris Anderson before, so there you go.Free is the name of Chris's new book, and it's going to be wildly misunderstood and widely argued about.The first argument that makes no sense is, "Should we want free to be the future?" Who cares if we want it? It is. The... [read more]
