具体描述
The New York Times bestselling author heralds the future of business in Free . In his revolutionary bestseller, The Long Tail , Chris Anderson demonstrated how the online marketplace creates niche markets, allowing products and consumers to connect in a way that has never been possible before. Now, in Free , he makes the compelling case that in many instances businesses can profit more from giving things away than they can by charging for them. Far more than a promotional gimmick, Free is a business strategy that may well be essential to a company's survival. The costs associated with the growing online economy are trending toward zero at an incredible rate. Never in the course of human history have the primary inputs to an industrial economy fallen in price so fast and for so long. Just think that in 1961, a single transistor cost $10; now Intel's latest chip has two billion transistors and sells for $300 (or 0.000015 cents per transistor--effectively too cheap to price). The traditional economics of scarcity just don't apply to bandwidth, processing power, and hard-drive storage. Yet this is just one engine behind the new Free, a reality that goes beyond a marketing gimmick or a cross-subsidy. Anderson also points to the growth of the reputation economy; explains different models for unleashing the power of Free; and shows how to compete when your competitors are giving away what you're trying to sell. In Free , Chris Anderson explores this radical idea for the new global economy and demonstrates how this revolutionary price can be harnessed for the benefit of consumers and businesses alike.

读后感
读之前都没有注意这跟the long tail 是同一个作者。很喜欢作者对新的免费模式下企业如何运作的收集和分析。个人觉得全书的高潮就在结尾50种免费模式的运用和举例上面了。现在的人，尤其是中国，在从免费到收费模式的进化上有很多very creative and ingenious ideas，读来耳目一...

评分不想怎么样评价 不过对于作者敏锐的观察力 对互联网战略层面的分析很有道理 能将自己想的表达出来的就是个好作者 我支持这本书
评分我喜欢“从第一天就收费”的初创公司： - 利润 = 收入 - 成本，这是初创公司的“欧拉恒等式”。 - 大多数初创公司的死亡证明书赫然钉着两滩血字：没钱！ - 小团队缺兵少粮，“先赚用户再赚钱”无异于缘木求鱼。 - 用户肯掏钱是需求存在且强烈的最有力证明。 - 愿意付费的用户...
评分先说和这本书内容无关的。读书的重要性对于每个读书的人都有不同的感受。对于我来说，其中一条是能帮助我理解复杂世界背后的规律。当把看似毫无关系的事情用相同的线索串起来的时候，这感觉集中了思考的乐趣——进行抽象一直都是人类喜欢的活动。 回到正题。这本书的几篇推荐...

评分HF5415 .A6197 2009 经管类的书总被诟病“常识”。殊不知写作本来就是人人心中有笔上无的事情。本书扩宽了free的context，用macro Econ来理解open market。Free generation，看来research要更复杂了
评分“The way to compete with Free is to move past the abundance to fill the adjacent scarcity. Not only can you compete with Free in that instance, but the people who need these custom solutions are often the ones most willing to pay highly for them.”
评分it didn't bring anything new on the table, but overall, it was worth reading.
评分听完的。对于我们这一代人，很多即便有知识产权的东西也应该免费似乎是不证自明的一件事。读这本书的好处就是不仅正当化了这些约定俗成的“免费”，而且指明了一些数字媒体商业模型的发展方向（vision）。
