I really think that almost any business can make money on this planet. It is just a matter of being creative, and finding revenue streams where no one ever thought there was one.

Steven just forwarded me a good example of what I am talking about: Flickr Camera Finder. Flickr – the photo sharing website for trendy geeks – is leveraging the metadata it gathers when its users upload images to build camera usage trends.

Talk about creating value without hurting people’s privacy, while offering exclusive and useful information in the process.

It’s better to be creative than to sue your customers. If only the music industry could listen a bit.
