Thanks for clarifying.<br /><br />Secondly, totally agree that with publishing there are plenty of sources of free content. To come up with something that people will pay for will mean it needs to be really, really innovative - for someone much brighter than me! :-)Emma Frosthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14213389641577301865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159904381143659539.post-75529326968744089562009-05-12T12:52:00.000+01:002009-05-12T12:52:00.000+01:00Hi Emma!<br /><br />Not to argue your point, as I'm ALL in favor of microtransactions, but the online gaming industry has very successfully utilized subscription models for quite a while (World of Warcraft being the primary example), but couldn't successfully implement this business model in SEA as they had/have in the rest of the world do to piracy. The solution was to give the games away for free, and then charge users within the game. Who steals something that's free?<br /><br />Re: your point about purchasing recipe by recipe, while you call it a bad example, I think you've nailed it on the head here: this is exactly why microtransactions have a slim future for publishing (give a quick google search to WSJ and microtransactions), as there'll always be plenty of other sources that will provide the content for free.foogooDanhttp://www.fatfoogoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159904381143659539.post-90545758173945562372009-02-16T15:38:00.000Z2009-02-16T15:38:00.000ZHi Emma, I'm very keen to get back to working in Yorkshire after spending over 2 years as a wandering consultant for a London firm.

We currently own enough hardware to cover all servers which are powered on for more than 20 hours...we hope to get to the 8 hour goal within two years.<BR/><BR/>I have uploaded my slides here:<BR/>http://www.spoutingshite.com/2008/10/10/powering-your-business-with-cloud-computing-webinar/<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>Ross CooneyRoss Cooneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18378827158117659242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159904381143659539.post-30550884261065310472008-10-02T17:39:00.000+01:002008-10-02T17:39:00.000+01:00Thanks for featuring www.4mations.tv - we're hoping it's going to be a hub of entertainment for both animators and people looking for just damn funny content. Plus there's cash rewards up for grabs for the most popular films and games each month.<BR/><BR/>Now that we've also launched TH!NKS this means anyone can create an animation in a matter of minutes - however it's addictive!<BR/><BR/>:)Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08398871526210444834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159904381143659539.post-68444295626668504462008-09-11T09:51:00.000+01:002008-09-11T09:51:00.000+01:00Thanks for checking out 4mations.
