In Pharma special attention is paid to "first in class" drugs for the special protections these drugs get (or did get before, who knows now). The problem long term with things like Google/Youtube is while the brand is solid, the second the eyeballs are made to pay at all, a freebie will emerge as a competitor. Strange how strong those two still are!EconomicDisconnecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802078645713106743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14963913.post-60278498174574018842010-04-07T12:37:53.435-04:002010-04-07T12:37:53.435-04:00absolutely, J Johnson.

I agree. perhaps Hempton was assuming that if your product changed the world in a good way, it would be profitable, which may not necessarily be a given.Kid Dynamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475987512856310577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14963913.post-10192993710894330132010-04-07T12:06:39.351-04:002010-04-07T12:06:39.351-04:00Seems like Hempton is saying "keep the compet...Seems like Hempton is saying "keep the competition out" and making money are synonymous. While reading the piece I couldn't help but think about the making profits aspect of technology companies (as it seems this is often overlooked for the technology aspect). There are a great many (in history and currently) companies that offer really cool technology (solar and electric car companies to name a few current), but oftentimes, cool technology does not equate to profit. I don't think keeping the competition out means a technology company will be profitable, but I could be wrong. Seems like #2 should be making a profit, and #3 should be keeping the competition out.<br /><br />Keep up the good work KDJ Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426395043622946832noreply@blogger.com
