#2I want to do a thoughtstream on thoughtstreams.
I like the idea. A lot. And yet I don't want to pay for it. Which is a reaction worth exploring a bit more.

Maybe I can interest you in my new startup: Paragraphs.io
It bridges the gap between single sentences and never ending wall-o-texts. With a single keyboard shortcut (tap 'return' twice), your content is partitioned into easily digestible Paragraphs™
All this and no more for only $50/year.

#4Thoughtstream is cool. But it needs atleast a 30-day evaluation for me to get a sense of how easy it would me to use.
But perhaps even take the idea further. How about the ability to create up to 30 thought streams for free. Anyone who has created that much will see its value and will want to pay?

Do you mean paragraph.io? And how is your startup supposed to solve his unwillingness to pay?

It's not. It was just throw away snark meant to demonstrate my complete lack of understanding of the problem thoughtstreams is trying to solve.

Freemium is almost always a losing model for small businesses. A trial would be nice, though.

I don't know.
There are many people who just expect freemium to solve all their problems. Freemium needs to be carefully applied, and needs to make sure to be aligned with evaluation needs of potential paying users. Most times startups do not work on the details to make it happen.
30-day evaluations are really helpful when an urgency exists to use a product - in my experience for lots of business sales. But now-days I often get distracted with some project and am not really able to evaluate the product the first time around.
I look at freemium as an evaluation license for as long as you are not doing anything serious with the product. Ofcourse, you need to define the terms of the freemium part. Companies like Heroku do a great job with it.

Over 10,000 people were willing to pay $50 to see app.net built without ever having seen it.

We'll eventually offer monthly plans with a free trial but we're looking for supporters at the moment, like the 10,000+ people that paid $50 for app.net
