Ratings and reviews

Concentrates too much on advertising the paid for book, The Curve. It does discuss the rationale of free media over the internet and its purpose, so may interest aspiring internet entrepreneurs.

It reveals that now we have to change. The world does not want a physical copy, instead they want something for free. It explains how to drive them to buy and value our products by introducing our free-products.

Though it is being free loaded too, but the strategies are worth millions or may be more. Nice and systematic explanations make it even more compelling. Loved the insights.
