I thought edgeio's business model was fly; probably the best thing since Vaseline! and now people are saying they didn't make enough revenue from it cause they want something for nothing?...I don't know of any other free application that have hot features like edgeio did and I sure as hell wouldn't want to build one from scratch just to make a bit more money.So where dose this leave x members with descent sites who actually got the best from edgeio? whats looksmart's plan? will they re-establish the business model and service or gone for good? so thats it? just like that a cool idea that helped lots of people add quality to their sites gets flushed down the pan?

My feeling is that a lot of companies would consider that spending twice as much on marketing in magazines, newspapers etc. will produce twice as many customers, but spending twice as much on internet marketing might not. For a small company or individual entreprenuer, the spending twice as much on magazines, newspapers etc. might not be an option at all financially, but investing their own time (effectively nothing as they don't pay themselves a salary) is far more viable. So as far as the internet is concerned, I think you are right; lots of new hills being grown daily flattening the mountains.
