Rafer sez:
I was about rail on these guys for TSAitis (screwing up correlation and causation), but their two PDFs are really quite good. The source of my initial frustration persists, but it’s a marginal error relative the merits of their overall pitch.

@16v Marginal Correction: Freemiums for SaaS vendors work well only where network effects are robust. Slide 29 of the otherwise gr8 saasrevenue.com deck is accurate but incomplete. Network effects and freemiums (which are increasingly inseparable) in b2b situations are rare but so valuable to all parties that excluding them from the opportunity horizon is a disservice to your readers.

Since both the customer, developor, and vendor all benefit from working freemiums, this Retweet of yours is a bad call as well.

Great find Scott.  Freemium w/o network effects doesn’t do the company any good.  Oh wait another lesson from Lookery (:  We had a lot of those.
