Tom -

The list comes from an Ev Williams article.

See:

The specific question you ask about is from the “Monetizability” (not a real word?) section.

He says …

“all things being equal, an idea with clear buck-making potential is better than one without.”

Yup!

hey rowan – great idea about ideas!

just one question – what exactly do you mean by “How hard will it be to extract the money?” – do you mean ‘convincing consumers to pay’ or ‘exiting the business with more money than when you started’ or something else?

cheers

Ben,

There is nothing wrong with adding a new feed. The hard bit is choosing an old feed to remove at the same time.

I limit my reader to 100 feeds at once. It works quite well.

I hope you don’t choose to remove my feed. :-)

Rowan.

Damn you, Rowan… you’ve just led me to add another feed to my list. So much for de-cluttering.
