There are far more than 3 business models online.

Here's a brief list of 9: http://digitalenterprise.org/models/models.html

Where would salesforce.com fall in that list of 9?

I think it doesn't, actually. It's sort of in between the subscription model and the utility model. Which goes to show, there's more than 9 - so the reduction to 3 is a little absurd.

Software - Develop a piece of software that people could be helped by using and then charge them for the privilege.

Sounds like the exact same thing DHH was preaching at Startup School.

When multiple people start saying the same thing, there's probably something to it.

I love the math: ($39.00 X 1000 = $39,000 per month)

Better get back to work so I have something so sell those first 1000.

I have trouble convincing myself that people will buy my software. It seems so daunting. (just sharing)

That's part of why people suggest releasing often and early. You'll have a better idea of what people think about your software that way.

You'll have NO trouble convincing me that people will buy your software.

Email me pls.

Ed, I got your emails from your yahoo account earlier as well as today and replied to all of them from my gmail account and my day-job email account. I just saw your email today that says you didn't hear from me. Looks like you didn't receive any of my emails! All these days I was under the impression that you are busy.

Looks like yahoo mail server is dropping my emails :-(

Wow, I had no idea (obviously). Yahoo has always put my southwest emails in my spam folder which pisses me off because I get 1000 spam per day. I wonder if they're doing that to your emails too.

Sounds like yahoo's spam filter needs a little work. Problem is one or two false positives can really screw you up.

Anyone else have this problem? Or has everyone already moved to gmail.

Looks like I may have to bite the bullet and make the switch. Is there an easy way to redirect without telling everyone to update their address book?

I don't want you to switch just for my sake. I was thinking of setting up a private room for us in FriendFeed, if you are already a FriendFeed user.

Shouldn't Yahoo automatically white-list people you have written to?!?!
