No worries Amber – working on your own stuff is definitely more important than reading my blog!

If only 2 of the 23 options are chilling, then that’s not too bad, really. And I think that part of their objective is to list all of the possible sources of revenue generation – and those two have certainly both been tried. I fully agree with you on the evils of selling your database. I’m not as convinced that premium content is of necessity bad – I actually think that if it is handled correctly that model may have some promise…

I thank you for saving me the $$ on my MBA. I’m beginning to think the time requirement is all about absorbing all of the above.

One thing that chills me about the list of 23 is that two of them are things that turn customers right off if they hear about them – selling the database information, and premium content. The former is a stab in the back for customers who trusted the organization, and the latter can feel elitist and unnerving.

The Cafe idea, however, is extraordinary. I love it – not in the least because I’ve come up with similar ideas for people who usually meet online to salon (is that a verb?) in a creative space.

Sorry I haven’t had time to comment lately, Tim. I keep pushing myself further in just how many credits I can stack up during a term.
