Re: New! Monetize your body functions!
Dave,
That's the same model used by Geocities and BlogSpot, for the most part. The main difference between them and what you announced in Davos was they sold the ad space from the beginning so that no one was suprised. My take on this is that you were waiting to see which sites were hits before selling the space, and then the bust happened and took the ad banner market with it.
Hey, I'm a happy capitalist with a mortgage, so I'm the last person to say that making money is bad, or that you need to supply people with hardware and software out of the goodness of your heart. But to the best of my knowledge, the TOS in place at the time that Doc started his blog incorporated what you said in your Davos speech, and what Doc said last night implied (to me, at least) that he didn't recall having given permission for ads to run on his blog.
