10 things that won’t survive the recession
Economic downturns have a way of accelerating the demise of the obsolete and inefficient.
Here are the ten – more detail after the link.
1. Free tech support
2. Wi-Fi you have to pay for
3. Landline phones
4. Movie rental stores
5. Web 2.0 companies without a business plan
6. Most companies in Silicon Valley
7. Palm Inc.
8. Yahoo
9. Half of all retail stores
10. Satellite Radio
An interesting list that could make a neat debate. What car manufacturer is gone by the end of the recession? What favourite ad supported tool are you using that doesn’t have a good-eough-business-plan? If it’s really free where does their revenue come from? Developers eat and pay rent.
