create first, make profit later

" We'll figure out how to monetize it later." a quote by Lars Perkins, general manager for Picasa, in the article "Google units include social networking, photos, maps", by Jefferson Graham, in USA Today, December 21, 2004, demonstrates what I really like about the Internet. First some things are created because they can be done, and then a plan for paying for it is developed later - for the services that survive. I mentioned that attitude in previous entry about "single-serving. com"

This reminds me of the spirit of early rock: make the cool record first, then think about the marketing. Result: lots of cool records.
