Minnov8 Gang 75: Is “Free as in Beer” Over?

April 17, 2010 By Steve Borsch

We catch up on last week’s big happenings, have on a guest and talk about the premature talk of the death of the “Free as in Beer” or “freemium” model. Joining us for our guest segment is Gary Doan, a Minnesota serial entrepreneur who recently joined the Australian email provider, Atmail, as its Vice President of Business Development.

Show Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson.
Music by Boo Boo Davis in a song titled, “Sad Thing” from Music Alley, purveyors of podsafe music.
