Week 7

We had a guest speaker who introduced to Yahoo!Pipes, a product that allows you to filter information off a website to exactly what you need. I made one on the Yahoo Fantasy Sports website, and it was successful for the most part. We also spent a good bit of time discussing free website models. This concept is always an interesting one for me, because they are providing a service without actually being compensated for it...directly that is. It is impressive how creating a free business model establishes a solid base for a company to start making profit. FaceBook is an example of this, as well as GroupOn.
