Are you (time) rich or (time) poor?

By Pranav Chavda ⋅ March 20, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Fantastic article on the Lightspeed venture partners’ blog.

Categorizes Internet users in two categories, the “Time rich” and the “TIme poor”.

I’d speculate that many of the readers of this blog fall into the Time Poor category, but the vast majority of internet users fall into the Time Rich category. If you’re starting a new internet company, its important to know who your audience is, and to make sure that you don’t let your own experience and that of other Time Poor people guide you wrong.

Rest of the article here …

  • Hey there Pranav - Been a while since I was able to get over here... but, as always, you are putting up good content.

    I think this article is alright, nothing stellar when it comes to the two different type of people Time rich vs. Time poor - however, I did find it interesting when they tried to quantify which types of sites would be of interest to the two different categories of people.
  • Hey Mark!

    Akismet thinks you're a spammer! :S Just de-marked the post from the "spam caught by akismet".

    I agree with you, there have always been "time rich" and "time poor" consumers. but the way this article sheds light on how online marketers can use this classification to their advantage was something I thought was very cool.
