Your points about Rubel's methodology are spot-on, but the conclusion was my favorite: "The key point is it doesn’t matter if it’s Web 1.0, Web 2.0, or what-have-you. What matters is how effectively you understand your users and meet their needs. That’s the way you monetize your site." Cheers to that! P.S. -- Check your email. We may be a bit incognito, but we do write back. ;) (If anyone else cares to reach out about something blog or business-related, <a href="http://www.futurenowinc.com/contactus.htm" rel="nofollow">contact us</a> anytime.

Let me know if you agree. ;-) BTW, how come no email addresses for the writers here? I'd think you'd encourage the dialogue more. Keep up the good work. Hi Robert,
