I won’t be able to check this out, since it’s Rei-Rei’s birthday celebration tonight, but if you’re in the NYC area I highly recommend you head out to The Highline Ballroom in Williamsburg tonight. Show starts at 8 (but you’re going to want to get there much earlier, as it is first come, first serve). Enjoy!
P.S. Anyone who creates an homage to Bat Dance, is an ace in my book!
I sure am doing a lot of juggling these days. I’m forgetting to make lists of things I need to do!
Anyway, our free Etsy giveaway held by Creature Comforts was a great success! Congrats to Zareth on getting a free pink “Follow Your Bliss” print! I hope you enjoy!! Many thanks to all those that participated to and to Creature Comforts for putting the giveaway on for us!
Free! Why $0.00 Is the Future of Business
Once a marketing gimmick, free has emerged as a full-fledged economy. Offering free music proved successful for Radiohead, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, and a swarm of other bands on MySpace that grasped the audience-building merits of zero. The fastest-growing parts of the gaming industry are ad-supported casual games online and free-to-try massively multiplayer online games. Virtually everything Google does is free to consumers, from Gmail to Picasa to GOOG-411.
The rise of “freeconomics” is being driven by the underlying technologies that power the Web. Just as Moore’s law dictates that a unit of processing power halves in price every 18 months, the price of bandwidth and storage is dropping even faster. Which is to say, the trend lines that determine the cost of doing business online all point the same way: to zero.
Once upon a time a California boy met a Georgia girl in New York. They didn't get along, at first. But, little by little, they fell in love. Today they are happy and still very much in love, running a business and a blog together.
