Though not with music, but software. I now sell software on my Pangea Enterprises website at whatever the customers wants to buy it for - and I still make money, so I think Radiohead had a pretty good idea!

There was a button which let me resign (somewhere in preferences?). After writing this post I also wrote to privacy@facebook.com and asked them to delete all traces of my stored profile, just to be sure. Ian.

It still has that fun, do anything, feel appeal but now it's more pleasing on the eye and easier to get around. Great stuff. Looks much better now.

]]> Comment on Which sites do you subscribe (£/$) to? by Ian http://ianozsvald.com/2007/12/12/which-sites-do-you-subscribe-to/#comment-23092 Ian Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:22:51 +0000 http://ianozsvald.com/2007/12/12/which-sites-do-you-subscribe-to/#comment-23092 Hi John. We're definitely considering the revenue-share idea - if we have a subscription service and some content is only available to subscribers, it makes perfect sense to share a piece of the pie with the authors. Currently we sell 2 of my own series but mixing a for-sale and a subs model means there are 2 things to explain...it feels 'a bit messy'. Having just the subs feels very sensible - magazines have always worked this way so the model is obvious to all. The addition to being a magazine is that subscribers can *direct* their learning by requesting new content and we try to deliver (unlike magazines which you can't direct). Well, that's one of the difference, we plan for there to be more too :-) Ian. Hi John.

I guess for showmedo you really need either killer content or functions. If I could create content, put it online and then sell that on - a shared revenue perhaps? just lovefilms and flickr for me, flickr just for the extra functions and it’s really pretty cheap, wasn’t because of the removal of advertising.
