While discussing how podcasting and blogging are related activities, Farros made an interesting observation about bloggers."I like to refer to the blogging community as the world's best customers," he said. "They're people that are doing things because they're passionate about it. They're actually not expecting to get paid for it. They don't have any money. They appreciate the heck out of free services. They want you to make some money so that you can continue to offer them free services. And if you can cut them in, then they're just giddy."
