swodinsky Users aren't "the product" they're the target... but that was always the case, it's just the methodology, accuracy and scope of hitting the target that's changed. That's why I hate the whole 'if you're not paying your the product' saying. It doesn't get the point of the process.Permalink On twitter.com
