  • blogcosm  But the number of people who read this blog via the feed every day averages less than 4,000. Do you have any details behind that number? I'm very interested in understanding where it comes from. Scott

  • blogcosm  I managed to trackback to your old post but not this one, so here goes a manual one. In addition to spreading the word about proper credit for Freemium, I mention an earlier Josh Kopelman post that deserves attention, plus suggest a book: Robert Rodin's "Free, Perfect, and Now".
