From New York Times:
For decades, Eastman Kodak thrived on a classic business model: sell lots of cameras at low prices to chalk up outsize profits on the inks, chemicals and papers used for making prints. That strategy collapsed as the digital revolution and foreign competitors pretty much destroyed Kodak’s longstanding control of the photography business.

From Mike’s Space (a member of the MSN Spaces team):
Anyway, my point: I have used a bunch of different tools (and even wrote my own on the .NET Framework beta). Not a single one of them does everything I want it to do, MSN Spaces included. There are places that TypePad outshines us, and there [...]
Paul Scrivens sold CSS Vault.
From WhiteSpace:
I could tell you the reasons for selling. I was getting too busy. Updating was no longer fun (and I had many people offer to volunteer, which still would’ve involved a lot of work on my side). I have other projects that I would like to get started on. And [...]
From Nevon:
Getting CEO approval for a crisis blog is one thing; getting the lawyers’ approval is something entirely different.

From Marketing Rampage:
Pheedo ran the campaign for 6 weeks and from their results, RSS feeds outperformed the best click through rate in email by over 26% as compared to the industry average of 8.7%.
Another interesting quote:
2. RSS feeds cost ZERO to track. With a burned feed, you can easily track how many people are subscribing [...]
From BizReport:
Even the most tech-savvy admit their brains sometimes grow fuzzy with overused buzzwords. For those who lack the bandwidth to provide robust, scalable solutions, here’s a list of some worst offenders.
I think bloggers use this one the most:
Solution: Instead of making a product or offering a service, technology companies “provide solutions.” Whether the solutions [...]
From InsideBlogging:
There has been some friction to this idea in the blogosphere, typically around the impression that the PBA is somehow trying to become a governing body. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
