Basic premise for Claire Miller's Monday NYT piece on tech startups = "you need more of a business model that ad revenue off eyeballs". My favorite quote on the subject comes from Jeff Bonforte, CEO of Xobni (a search tool/functional layer for Outlook):
"Ads are an inefficient business model, making indirect revenue as a result of behavior and advertising to people who don't want to see them or for whom they're irrelevant."
Wha-BAAAAMMm.
