Seems like you are thinking the value is created by customers, while the GP thinks it is created by employees.



Was it the farmer or the field? The fella that used to farm here wasn't so efficient or modern, but he paid the lord of the manors tithe, the new person is growing lots of new things, she's selling them cheap in the market.

Her toys are nicer than the family who live at the manor have ever seen, let alone owned.

She's kind of a loud mouth, keeps telling the peasants and the Baronial family that they need to change, that their ideas about life, culture and fairness are all wrong.

How does this story end.?We note that the Barons have swords, pikes, bows and arrows, a long track record of setting fire to houses and decorating them by hanging up the occupants. Perhaps though, this time, they'll simply chillax and go to the seminars that the new woman is running.

If they use option a. I expect that the next peasant in charge of the farm will be much less ostentatious, opinionated and will adopt all of the shiny new practices introduced by the last farmer. They probably won't invent many new ones... but then again are there lots of new ones to be invented now?


What value do facebook developers create directly? They have crafted a network of complementary services for which I don't deny their craftsmanship, but would you argue the developers are the core business instead of the interaction between users and their product?
