Bing Cannot Buy Love

June 6, 2010

Short honk: The two models that cycle through the world of online are paying to access content and paying people to use a service to access content. Neither approach is fool proof. Every digital Kondratieff cycle spits out examples. The most recent pay to use us our service approach was the Microsoft Bing effort. It did not work and you can read Microsoft’s explanation in “A Farewell to Bing Cashback.” Up next: pay to access news. Winner or loser? Mr. Kondratieff, Mr. Kondratieff, any opinions?
