And not a moment too soon<\/a>. I must admit I am pretty chuffed. Please take a look and tell us what you think. Stephen’s Q&A is as usual excellent, and one thing I particularly wanted to point out is some clarifications he makes with respect to our business model. I get a bit fed up when people try and niche us as sellside only- as Stephen says its money from the sellside that allows us to provide free research to the buyside. And we do have “buyside” customers too. Frankly the buyside sellside distinction is pretty tired anyway. We’re all<\/em> producing code or content or requirements or analysis. Our base is practioners, many of whom aren’t buyers at all – they are producers and influencers. RedMonk’s model is a new model. And just to emphasize the fact we’re making it more explicit by calling out the fact we’re shooting to become an art gallery by tiering customers as patrons, sponsors or supporters.<\/p>\n

Q: What about the tiering of the clients? Is that new?
\nA: In part, although we\u2019ve informally used these labels on blogs for some time. Again, this is something that\u2019s been in the works for a while, but we more or less lifted the model wholesale from museums. That sounds strange to most of you, I\u2019m sure, but there are actually some interesting parallels between that business and ours. Both seek to educate and inform, both depend on corporations for sustaining revenue, and – as of now – both recognize differing levels of contributions. We\u2019re grateful for every last client we have, and want to be sure to recognize them for the contributions they make to the bottom line.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
