Andrew Sullivan on the unprofitability of Web content
Andrew Sullivan recently published an interesting reflection in the Times of London on the failure of Web content to generate profit, blaming its overabundance (as opposed to scarcity) for the problem. But he also suggests that the economic function of his “blog” may not be to generate profit directly but to promote his books, provide him with a storefront for selling merchandise, etc. The usual “death of intellectual property” sort of stuff.
