Stardate 20010605.0704 (On Screen): A guy is driving along and sees a roadside stand offering "Rabbit burgers". So he stops and orders one, and while waiting for it he's talking to the cook. The cook mentions that there's also some horse meat. "How much" the guy asks. Oh, 50%: one horse per rabbit.
So more than half of web sites intended to be profitable actually are, and a lot of the ones which aren't, aren't really intended to be. That's nice. But is this 50% by count or by weight (gross revenue)? Also, does it include porn sites (which is far and away the most successful web-based business sector)? If so, that would tend to skew the result. Still, it's good to see someone acknowledging that the web isn't completely collapsing as a business model. (discuss)
