The author puts some strategies out to show how "free" businesses can survive (mostly by charging someone besides the user). I think a lot of the "Web 2.0" bunch are playing the game so many startups have: get eyeballs by going free for as long as you can and hope someone finds a way to monetize it before you run out of capital. Worked for Google. :-) It's really another case of a free business - employees are making free money at the expense of VCs. Great post – worth more than I paid for it. :-)
