You mean software as service kind of stuff? Would you care to provide some examples?

- jacquesm 16y agoDating sites (b2c), dropbox (both b2b and b2c), tarsnap (b2b), drupal, wordpress, ebay and so on, there must be thousands of examples.
- trafficlight 16y agoFreshbooks (indispensable to me), Mailchimp, Outright.com, Basecamp and Backpack. And those are just the ones I use for my day to day business.
- cperciva 16y agoFWIW, Tarsnap is both b2b and b2c. My best guess from eyeballing email addresses and talking to some Tarsnap users is that businesses are only 20% of Tarsnap users, although they account for about 80% of the total usage.
- jacquesm 16y agoThat's a real surprise to me! (was it to you?) The way tarsnap is marketed I'd never ever expected it to be b2c, most private individuals I know outside of computing would have a very hard time understanding what it's all about without a lot of explanation. That's really interesting.
- cperciva 16y agoI didn't say that the private individuals who use Tarsnap are outside of computing. I know a lot of unix geeks. :-)
- jacquesm 16y agoAh right, of course, why didn't I think of that angle. That should have been obvious. To my defence I'll say I wrote that before my morning tea while on a holiday. Will try harder next time.
