You Can't Charge for it

Content is no longer king, or at least you can't often charge for it. So is community king now? So says Judy Shapiro in AdAge. That has been true for quite some time. Only a few examples of for-fee distribution of knowledge itself still thrive. Though if you want to build a useful community as she suggests you still need some knowledge to get things started. And well written information that can be applied to real problems is still the best way to do that. Journalists and writers will still be needed.
